You cannot use the Reporting Assistant on parallel jobs. DataStage Enterprise Edition comes with a MetaStage license and you can use that for reporting. You can also find job names by running dsjob -ljobs projectname. Run this from a telnet session on each DataStage server.
You can also get DataStage documentation using Kim Dukes html documentation tool. You can also get it by applying an XSL stylesheet to a project xml export. You could modify DSExport-HTML.xsl to only show job names.
I don't think the Reporting Assistant will be in future releases of DataStage.

An additional note, the latest versions of MetaStage have a custom report that highlights the differences between two versions of the same job. You may find this makes the installation of MetaStage worthwhile as it saves you time in comparing your production and dev environments.

Reporting Assistant is deprecated in favour of MetaStage from version 7.x.
And please eschew "urgent" - everyone here is a volunteer who posts when possible. If you really want urgent, sign up for high priority 24x7 support, and learn the true cost of "urgent".

Hehe. One of the first thing we did when we got PX for 6.x, we tried the Reporting Assistant. Failed. Cried to Support. "Oh, we're surprised you're using that... use MetaStage instead, that's the tool that is replacing this depreciated feature."
That was 6.0 (and soon after that, we got 6.0r3, which was very important indeed.)
Ah, the good ol' days where you have no idea why your job just will not run. Hey! It just happened today with 7.1r2! *grumbles about Version Control*

And to address your original requirement you can get a list of all jobs in a project by logging into the DataStage server and running the command:
dsjob -ljobs <project>
