Upgrading DataStage Server Edition to a Parallel Extender

[sridharvg]

Following are the queries related to Server to Parallel upgradation.

1. Keeping the server edition running , can we install parallel extender on the same server without harming the existing server jobs. ( Version being the same 7.5x)
2. In the same way, can uninstall Parallel extender without harming the server jobs. ( Version being the same 7.5x)
3. By doing the above experiments what are the precautions to be taken and also need information on the configuration settings of Parallel Extender.

Only time for very short answers this morning:

1. Yes.
2. Yes, technically.
3. Backup, backup, backup. Config info comes with the product.

The PX version is a set of extensions to Server; i.e. it contains the server version. Thus, if you are installing 7.5 PX on a 7.5 Server machine you don't need to run separate instances or de-install PX; you would just stop using the PX portion of the product.

That was the 'technically' part.

Craig - I knew what you meant, but thought I'd expand on your terse answer this time
