can you please help me how to run the parallel jobs on my home pc
iam using ascential datastage 7.5
OS:window server 2003

when i run the parallel job ,the job is going to aborted and when i check the log it is showing the message"This jobtype is not currently runnable on this platform"

this is my configuration file:
{
node "node1"
{
fastname "RAGHU-F68DMBR42"
pools ""
resource disk "C:\Ascential\DataStage\Datasets" { pools "" }
resource scratchdisk "C:\Ascential\DataStage\Scratch" { pools "" }
}
}

You can't run Parallel jobs unless you have Datastage version installed on Unix. If its 7.5 and installed on Windows OS it will not work. If you want Parallel jobs to work on Windows OS you should look for 7.5x2 version which was desiged for running parallel job on windows environment.
Try and get Datastage 7.5 unix installable and install it on a unix virtual machine and access it from your base windows OS as client.

And why so CAPS LOCK??

As noted, the only "pre-8" version of PX that will run jobs on Windows is the older one-off special 7.5x2 (yes, with an 'x') version. All other versions before 8 run only on UNIX.

It might also be that you do not own a legitimate licence.
