Hi,
Are you using Basic transformer stage.

You can not use a server routine in a parallel Transformer stage. You can only use a server routine in a server job or in a BASIC Transformer stage in a parallel job.
Your alternative is to create a parallel routine.

It is very different than a normal basic routine.

First you have to write the C/C++ function according to your needs. Then compile it using C/C++ compiler available on your machine and the one used in your PX jobs. (You can find the name of compiler in environment variable APT_COMPILE.)
Compile it and create a object file or library. Then go to the DS manager, create PX routine there and mention the object filename or library file as the one created during the compilation. Define the input parameters and output parameter type.

Now you can use this PX routine. To find more do a search on forum of parallel routines. There is also some help available in DS Manager PDF file under chapter Working with Parallel Routines

Once you do that it will answer some of your questions. The general subject of C++ code and creating/compiling/linking such is a bit outside of this forum's scope, but if you have specific questions once having read the documentation then people here will be glad to assist.
