In Server Edition, I am not aware of any config files. You have to explain your requirement clearly, then only you will get required answers.

I think you requirement is to create a customized Config file for a particular job.

You have specified you job type as server. In server you dont have the concept of Configration files. If its parallel you can create as may config files you need.

Just copy you original config file and backup it. Then create a copy and customize it accordingly by adding or changing the number of nodes you need or changing the pools. you can then use it in an individual job by calling it through Environment variables in parameters.


Unless you have experiance in changing or creating config files, do not change config files. Consult your Datastage administrator.
