Hi,

In our project we have a requirement where we need to change already exsisting server jobs to parallel.

Can anybody help me tell me the ways of doing that?

Regards,
Amita

Why do you need to change existing server jobs to parallel?
Migrating server jobs to parallel may not necessarily improve performance.

Can anybody help me tell me the ways of doing that?

Learn EE.It is different from server edition. You can also enroll in classes conducted by this site the details of which is on the home page.

"Wetware".

There are no publicly-available conversion utilities. You must apply brain power to the task, and create parallel jobs that replicate the functionality of the server jobs.

Food for thought
- Identify jobs that really require conversion
- Understand whats going on in that server job.
- Translate it into parallel job.

You need in depth understanding of both server and parallel editions for this.

It's pointless to convert all jobs since many smaller volume jobs will run faster as server jobs. It is dangerous to do a large scale conversion without an expert parallel job developer. IBM offers a conversion service, they have conversion tools in house and a specialised team, they don't advertise this service very well and it wouldn't do 100% of the work, you would still need to test it in house.
The most effective conversion is to start with the jobs that need conversion - any job that is a bottleneck or has extremely high volumes, especially jobs writing to a database. Any job doing a large sort or aggregation could be many times faster as a parallel job. Any job running for a long time on a single thread leaving the server underutilised should be converted to a parallel job or multiple instance server job.

Yep, during lunch with IBM's Engineers from Advanced Consulting Group,
I was told that the "conversion service" is available.

Oh, you betcha. As Ray would say, you just need to bring buckets of cash!

Hi,

yes ,i can help you...

This conversion is only help for SMP system not for MPP.

Create the Shared containers and run the jobs in parallel env..

That is one Method..

Any question if your in INDIA call below no; 09999102823..
