Yes we can. Search the forum or read about shared containers and its uses in DS manual.

Specifically, Chapter 2 of the Parallel Job Developer's Guide

There are several restrictions on what you can do within the server shared container - read all about them in the manual.

If search for those restriction in this forum, you ll also find that its still under question.

The biggest restriction, IMHO, is the fact that the job will operate in sequential. Synonymous to putting a shelby in a city where road speed limit is 25 mph.
Incorporate the functionality in a px shared container.

It may not be the case. The Server shared can be instantiated by PX job in each node to run in parallel. But PX shared container can internallly do the partition. Hence one such disadvantage would be, it can not support RCP.
