Hi,
We are planning to install 8.5 version, is it good to proceed installation without installation c++ compiler?my question is , if we proceed to instal 8.5 without c++ compiler, once installation of 8.5 completed,then we can install c++ compiler. is it adviceble or not . we are using SUN SOLARIS 5.10.
Please advice on c++ compiler for 8.5 installation and let me know if you need any more details.

C++ compiler is a pre-requisite. Check the below link for details.

As stated by you, you will install C++ compiler after installing 8.5, why not before ?

Thank you for provided information.
As per client standrard , we donot do install another than datastage in that server.
Present that team is busy with some other urgent issues. so i asked to clarify my doubt.
Thank you very much for your information.

While I believe that you can install the compiler after you install DataStage, the best thing to do would be to install the compiler first so the DataStage installer can find it and configure things properly. Afterwards, that configuration becomes more... manual.

Sure, a C++ Compiler is a prerequisite to IS 85, but You should only need it to compile parallel jobs.
It should be possible to run a production environment without a compiler if You only import precompiled objects to the server.

You only need it to compile certain kinds of parallel jobs, for example ones with a Transformer in them. Also been assuming we're talking about a development environment, you are correct in that one may not be required outside of development depending on what exactly is exported.

Hi,
Thank you very much for information.
We have all server jobs which we migrating from 7.5.3 version to 8.5.
in this case we require c++ compiler for compile server jobs?
Please suggest on this.

The only thing you need a compiler for is the Transformer stage in parallel jobs. Your existing Server Jobs will be fine without it but you will find it difficult to migrate the long running Server Jobs to parallel jobs without a compiler.
