Basic transformer stage..

Hi All,,

We are building jobs in Grid env.. in order to avoid the load on the headnode.. we are trying to call a routine from basic tranformer stage rather than routine activity stage (for a server routine) in a sequencer.. , so just want to understand if the basic transformer stage would be run on the compute node instead of headnode..??

Any inputs greatly appreciated..

Thanks in advance.

It will, because it needs direct access to the server engine.

Thanks Ray for your quick response.

1. So the Basic transformer stage runs on the headnode? Can you please confirm..?

2. So any parallel routine call from parallel transformer stage would run on the compute node? Can please confirm this too?

Just to make sure my understanding here.

Thank you all in advance.

Yes, the BASIC transformer will run only on the head node of your grid. Parallel routines, custom operators, build ops and such can run on the compute nodes.

James beat me to it. Just occasionally I have to work for a living and ignore DSXchange for a few minutes!
