Can I use Utility server transforms (e.g. UtilityMessageToJob) to create Paralle jobs ?

akrzy,

I think you meant to say "to create messages" in parallel jobs in your post, otherwise the answer is a no.

Although the majority of the Px engine runs outside of the DS server environment and therefore doesn't allow you to call DS Basic routines, there are still a couple of options in the before & after job and also if you decided to use a Basic-transform stage - but this is highly discouraged as it removes any Px speed & parallelility advantages.

Hmm
But I have definitions of this functions in the Transforms tress..
Can i use it just for BASIC - Trnasformer stage?

akrzy,

if the Function-drop-down list in a transform shows the function you want to use then by all means use it! You might have a C-function or be using a Basic transform stage.

Hi,
All Basic related routines/transforms are usable via sever jobs or a basic transformer placed in a parallel job.

as for the original question:
Can I use Utility server transforms (e.g. UtilityMessageToJob) to create Paralle jobs ?
to create parallel jobs :shock: , did you really mean that? or did you mean something else?

IHTH,
