Hi,

Pls bear with my ignorace.
If USS is similar to a Unix emulator in mainframe, how does it gains the perfromance. Will it enables the parallel extract and load of data in Mainframe?

Since the USS environment is running on a mainframe it benefits from the architecture of that platform. It is like asking why DS will run faster on a multi-CPU Sun/HP/IBM platform than on my home PC.
And the USS version of DataStage runs EE.

Hi Arnd, Thanks for your reply.
If I understand properly, there is a seperate version for Mainframe (MVS). But Datastage with AIX server will have an additional installaion on Mainframe called USS. Correct me if Iam wrong.

It is better to get it straight from the horse's mouth, see IBM/Ascential pages on this topic to get accurate information.
