Select the Stage Types branch of your Repository. Using the New tool/menu, create a new parallel stage type. Do your coding in the GUI exposed after you choose your stage type (build, custom or wrapped).

Tell us what does your own stage try to accomplish.

What do you believe the purpose of each of these stage types is? Research the Advanced Parallel Job Developer's Guidenor on-line help. Then post a more specific question. And don't seek help via private message or email unless you're prepared to pay for that help .

You are claiming that you have written a ".dll". Please confirm that this is on a UNIX platform. You can, if you have a well-formed function, create a parallel routine (a definition of the interlude to your function) and call that from a Transformer stage. If your function is not well-formed, it will probably not work.

So how do you propose to call your DLL from the UNIX machine? Leave DataStage out of the picture for the moment - how would you call your DLL from any UNIX application?!!

Hi Ray,

Correct me if i am wrong

I have take Transformer stage from Stage types and created a copy of that stage.

If you open the stage and go for dependencies there you have an option to call a dll(user define/System define)...

please let me know, can i call a .dll from here or not. If not why is the option given. If yes it should be executed on server right which on UNIX...

That's right - it needs to be executed on the same machine as the Transformer stage. That means that a VB6 DLL can't be used; it is specific to Windows. You need to create object or function library that can be called in a UNIX environment. This rules out the use of Visual Basic as the programming language.
