Can we Call Server routines in Parallel Extender

[suri]

Hi All,
Can we call server routines in paralle. I know they use different languages and different compliers. I am wondering is there any way to use server routines in parallel.

Thanks in Advance
Suresh

You have several options when moving from a server job to a parallel job:
- use a BASIC Transformer in your parallel job or a server transformer in a parallel shared container. It can call routines but it is a lot slower then most parallel stages.
- move your routine code into a parallel transformer using the derivation fields and stage variables. This is more difficult to maintain and test then routines and not very re-usable but it gives good performance.
- rewrite your basic routines as C++ build ops. This gives good performances and are reusable but requires a knowledge of C programming.

Suresh,
you can call server routines in PE, however, if you want to run the routines in parallel, you 'd better follow vmcburney 's suggestion.

Vmcburney,
I am interested in the item you have mentioned, say "rewrite your basic routines as C++ build ops".

Can you post some simple sample for our study.

thanks a lot

You could look at the PX Routine Samples on your Install media.
(under the samples directory -> TrxExternalFunctions)

You can call as Before/After Sub Routines

Can you post some simple C code sample with Makefile using DSAPI in SUNWpro environment, since the PX Routine sample only includes straight C code. Thanks!
