Sainath,

I did a transition from Server to Parallel Extender by printing out and reading the PX documentation (in the PDF files that install in to the same client directory as do the Sever ones). That isn't sufficient, but it forms the basis for further learning. Another approach which would be helpful, albeit pricey if you need to finance it yourself, is to attend a training class. Not only do you get the training but you get the valuable training materials as well.

One such training class option would of course be the World Famous Ray Wurlod Server to Parallel Transition Lab. :wink:

If you are confident and posses sound knowlege in Server, I personally feel the given documentation is more than sufficient. Once you done with the Documents, just stick to this forum, from which you can learn a lot, even more than a dedicated courses.

I disagree. Given that there's a huge mindset change, having some guidance (maybe a transition class, maybe something else) is far more value than trying to learn out of what are, in reality, just reference manuals for those who have a fundamental understanding of what they're doing.
