Error while running parallel jobs on Windows 2003 Server

Hi

I am getting a strange problem. While trying to run parallel jobs on Windows 2003 server (using Pentium 3) we got the following error
[b]"This jobtype is not currently runnable on this platform"[/b]. We have installed datastage server version 7.5.3, and we are able to run server jobs successfully.

Can anyone please help us on this issue?

Thanks

Not really all that strange and the message tells you the problem. The only pre-8 version that runs PX jobs on Windows is 7.5x2. Yes, with an 'x'.

Hi Criag

Thanks for your suggestion. But we are having Windows 2003 server and have got DataStage Server 7.5.3 for Windows. This version is new for me, as I have earlier configured with 7.5x2 and then 8. Do you mean to say this version is not correct for Windows? I had a suspicion whether Pentium3 is appropriate for DS server; but again not sure.

Thanks

As noted, it is not the correct version to run PX jobs on Windows. They can be developed, sure, but not run.

That's good info, I thought all the versions from DS 7.5x2 onwards can be installed on a Windows server.

Oh, they all can be installed...
