Parallel and Server Installs

Can we install the Server and Parallel engine on the same box. If so,is there a sequence to install both. We just install the server and now all parallel job won't run.

Thanks

Yes, server and parallel can and do coexist in the same project.

What did you install (did you add a license for Server?) and what exactly no longer works in parallel?

We had the parallel engine installed. I have been inquiring about SetUserStatus function that works only in Server version. We installed the server version and now the parallel jobs tell me that they don't run on this version. I recompiled the jobs and still got the same error.

Could you post the error message text onto this thread? That is quite odd, particularly as normally the PX install also encompasses the server .

There's only one version of DataStage that allows parallel jobs to run in a Windows environment - 7.5x2. It sounds like you may have used a different version when you ran the second install.

You're right, we installed the wrong version. Thanks for all your help
