I installed DS v7.5x2 on windows XPSP2 and am trying to run parallel jobs. Other jobs are running well except when i use a transformer. A lot googling suggested its a compiler issue.
I dont have VC2003 C++ or 2005 compiler but I downloaded VC2008 Express C++ compiler but that doesnt seem to be working fine. or i am not getting the env. variables correctly.

I searched for VS2003.Net for free download but couldnt get that.Can some body confirm if VC2008c++ would be good to run parallel transformer jobs and what may the env. variables both(DS and system-desktop) be set.

Excuse me for the issue being too generic but am at loss...

Hi,

I suggest you use what has been mentioned in the pre-requisties Installtion guide, for downloading the complier Visual Studio C++ 2005 express edition, please use the below link

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/Aa700736.aspx.

Before you install the complier I suggest you uninstall the VC++ 2008 and delete the folders related to it.

FYI, the DSv7.5x2 for Windows was a training version for PX on Windows, If you plan to develop EE jobs for a project I suggest you go for IS v8.

Hope the above helps.

With Regards
M

If this is the express edition, which I think you said it is, you need both the 2005 C++ libraries and the SDK (I think it is a 2006 release). The links are in the referenced thread from my previous post.

The DataStage environmental variables should be set to default with the express edition. However, you need to add the correct variables to your System Environmental Variables.

You need to add the Lib directory and the Include directory from your SDK to the LIB and INCLUDE system environmental variables. Again, check the referenced thread from my previous post.
