Server to Parallel

Post by Souji »

Hi all,
I am replacing server job with Parallel job. There are server stages like This
1) Folder Stage,
2) Hashed File Stage and
3) Link Collector Stage

Can you guys tell me what are the parallel stages are there to replace with above stages.

Thanks
Soumya

Before doing that, wouldn't it be important to change the design to use the features and framework of parallel system to the best rather than stage-by-stage replace !!??

I you are asking for a 'folder' stage then i think its not present in 'parallel'

What Sainath says is very much correct.
You cannot go by stage-by-stage replace.

Yes it is important. I just wanted to make sure if any one ask what are all the relavent stages for those, then I need to answer that question.

Please help me in this regard.
Is there any way I can show my job design in this form?.

Thanks

1) No direct equivalent, External Source perhaps
2) Lookup / Join / Merge
3) Funnel

I certainly hope this isn't a campaign to rewrite all Server jobs as Parallel jobs, that would be... silly.

Why?

If it's not broken, don't fix it. Server jobs will be supported by IBM into the long term future.

Ray,
My Client is implementing Parallel jobs. The development is completed, Tested in QA and Prod,
The goal is we need to capture all the reports in one particular place and need to analyze them. Below are some example columns in reports:

1) Job Name
20 Start Time
3) Elapsed Time
4) Row Count
5) link Desc Etc...

Please excuse me if any grammetical mistakes are there

Thanks
Soumya
