Hi There,

Just want to know the downside of using basic transformer in parallel jobs.
would it run slow or would it not run in parallel etc?

BASIC transformer can be used in Parallel job. But the job would run slow

I know it can be used in parallel jobs.
Could you tell me , why it would run slow?
Is it because it wont run in parallel(on multiple nodes)?

It WILL run on multiple nodes. The main reason for its relative slowness is the need to convert to and from the typeless DataStage BASIC environment to the strongly-typed C++ environment of parallel jobs for every row processed.

Thanks Ray....
