Are there Plug-in stages in Parallel jobs

Hi,

We would like to know if there are any stages considered to be as plug-in stages for parallel jobs.

Stages like FTP and CFF are plug-in stages in server jobs. How about for parallel jobs? Are there any stages considered to be as plug-ins that needs to be taken care during the DS server installation for Enterprise Edition?

Thanks.

Yes. The CFF and FTP stages are plug ins in enterprise edition as well. Get a list of all the plugin stages for Enterprise edition from IBM. If you have access to parallel docs, you will find the list there as well.

My definition of plug-in is that it requires software from outside of DataStage to work - such as a database client or a separate processing engine. Most of the new DataStage 8 plug-ins will be for parallel jobs - such as the data quality and federation server plugins. I would call CFF a standard stage rather than a plugin stage.
