Number of processes in a datastage job

Hi,
Below is the job design of a datastage job:
Dataset-> Transformer-> Dataset

With a 2 node config file will this job always create 6 processes or different number of processes. With APT_DUMP_SCORE can I see the exact number of processes in the log for this job. For what purpose APT_DUMP_SCORE can be used.

Regards,
Suman

The score shows precisely what will be executed. This is not necessarily the same as what was designed, though it will be functionally equivalent.

The only purpose of APT_DUMP_SCORE is to have the score dumped into the job log. Without it, the score is only distributed to section leader processes.

Note that the number of processes reported in the score is only player processes; you need to add to that one conductor process for the job and one section leader process per node.
