I need to release parallel jobs.

When I try to release parallel job using Datastage manager, the 'release job' option in 'tools' menu is greyed out.

Pls let me know the method of releasing parallel jobs.

Why do you 'need' to release them? Are you sure you don't mean 'unlock' instead?

'Unlock job' from DS manager?

Its not unlock , its using release option from tools menu , actually we created an account for DSoperators & assigned them a role of dsoperator , while using this account we were not able to see the any jobs in ds director so we tried releasing jobs from manager , did with success for server jobs but with parallel that option is grayed out.

Pls help ....

You are right, when I highlight a parallel job in Manager the Release Job option is greyed out. When I highlight a server job, it is active. The Package Installer historically was in the Server edition, so I suspect they never upgraded it to install parallel jobs. Your other options are to use the Version Control application or Import/Export.

Your posting lists version 4x. I am using 7.5.2 EE.

Release job functionality is the old way to promote jobs into test and production. It was old hat, and replaced by Version Control, before parallel jobs came on the scene. It was kept for server jobs solely for backwards compatibility.
