The concept of "client and server" is not specific to DataStage. In DataStage you have a server (typically on a UNIX or Windows) to which you attach using clients from a pc - the Designer, Director, Manager or Administrator and perhaps the telnet session into TCL might count as well. The brunt of the work is done on the DataStage Server while the user clients control and manipulate the jobs.

The DataStage server is only a server to the DataStage clients. At run time it is a client to the database servers to which jobs connect.
