Hi All,

I have installed Data stage parallel edition on Windows Professional 2000 and windows Xp.
I am able to compile and run server jobs, but i am unable to run the parllel job even though i am able to compile.
Even i am unable to see PX related folders
The error Message:
This jobtype is not currently runnable on this platform

See the installation notes.

It's only supported on Windows Server 2003.

Although not suported I have heard of it running on XP Pro.

Try installing both of them on Windows XP, and hopefully the server jobs will start working.

But to run parallel jobs on Windows OS, we need to have Datastage Enterprise Edition 7.5x2 or 8.0

But my guess is that you don't have any of these. So you can't run parallel jobs on your machine. Unless you install the Datastage Server on a Unix machine.

I also suspect you're not running version 7.5x2

This is the only pre-8.0 version that supports running of parallel jobs on Windows platforms. It is not supported on Windows XP, but can be gotten to run there.

You may also have difficulty compiling a parallel job that includes a parallel Transformer stage or a Build stage.
