Running Parallel jobs on Windows 2003 Server

[splayer]

I set up my machine as follows:

Windows 2003 Server
Oracle 9i Personal Edition
Visual Studio.NET 2003 (C++ only)
Datastage 7.5 Server version
Datastage 7.5 Client version
Windows 2003 Server Service Pack 1

I still cannot run parallel jobs. I have a simple job with a row generator, transformer and sequential file stage. When I try to do View Data on the Row Generator, I get the message:

"This job type is not currently runnable on this platform."

I have searched through this site for similar problems. People have been able to run parallel jobs with this setup. The only thing I can think of is that, I did not do a complete (all components) installation of Visual Studio.NET 2003.

I would appreciate any input.

Also, how do I tell what version my Datastage is? In Help/About in Designer, it says Datastage Designer version 7.5. It doesn't say if it is 7.5.2 or 7.5.1 or 7.5.1A.

You can find the exact version at Adminstrator client window under general tab.

Help About in any client.

You must have 7.5x2. This is the only version that supports parallel execution. Since you mention 7.5.1, you clearly don't have the correct version for compiling/running parallel jobs on Windows.

You can design parallel jobs on Windows at other 7.x releases, but you can not compile or run them.

Hi Ray,

I have installed 7.5 x2 on windows 2003 server and tried to view a simple
row gen job but get the following error

File Archive: Trouble creating file: C:/path......
Fatal error: Null Archive tmp/aptcs2372258178ca

adding to this I have also installed visual studio . NET 2003.

Any help is appreciated
