Hi,
I'm new to the Enterprise Edition so pls pardon this newbie type question.Can parallel jobs run in a Windows server if we install the Enterprise Edition in that server ?

Thanks.

Yes, but it must be version 7.5x2, which is the only version that has job compilation and execution capability for the Windows platform. With other versions you may be able to create parallel jobs, but you will not be able to compile or to execute them. Note, too, that you will need a C++ compiler; the recommended one is Visual Studio .NET.

Thanks Ray! One last question ,can a sequencer run a mix of server and parallel jobs in the same project if we have some existing server jobs which we don't intend to convert to parallel but just continue using as is?

Yes.

Or, more precisely, no.

A sequencer is that component in a job sequence that makes an "any or all inputs have fired" decision in a job sequence.

The term you needed in your question was "job sequence", not "sequencer".
