Hi,

I couldn't fine any "Debug" option in my menu to debug jobs.

I am having admin rights.

Debug Option in designer is available only with server jobs. To debug parallel jobs you need to enable OSH_PRINT_SCHEMAS and APT_DUMP_SCORE environment variables, and you can also use debug stages ( peek/sample) etc to debug intermediate results

Upgrade to version 8.5 to get a parallel job debugger.

Until then, you can change the job properties to compile in trace mode, and this will give you the ability to run a small number of rows per node and will automatically insert a peek operator on every link in the job.

Admin rights is not pertinent to this discussion.

Thanks Ray... I was worried that, something wrong in the installation.

As of now, I cannot go for upgrade. I will use the trace options to debug as suggested for parallel jobs.

Ramesh -- You were saying that, we need to enable those variables. I did enable. But I don't see any changes or debug options in designer. Are you saying the same.?

If my understanding is wrong, please correct me.

Thanks lot for your reply.
