How do we find the release of a DataStage version
I have DataStage XE Parallel Extender V7.0.0. How do I determine which release this is?
The problem is: I want to install the latest TeraData Mload plugin, so I want to see whether my release is compatible with the plugin.

From the Admin or UniVerse prompt execute the command 'LIST VOC WITH @ID EQ "RELLEVEL" F2' and that will show you the DataStage detailed version for that account.

It means you have version 7.0.0 of the parallel engine and version 7.0.1 of the server engine. Every stage type also has its own version, for example you're probably running version 1.3 of the ORABULK stage.
You posted in the server forum and specified "Server" as your job style, which is why you got a server answer.

Now I am more confused:
Are different version of the Server and Parallel Engines compatible? I was under the impression that if we say DataStage version "7.0.0" it means server and parallel engines are both 7.0.0.
Now if we say DataStage version 7.0.0 or 7.0.1, is it a server engine version or a parallel engine version?

Depends which forum you're posting on!
Generally we only talk about the major and minor numbers, so we say we're on 7.0, or 7.1 or 7.5 or 3.3 (eek!). At this level, both engines are compatible irrespective of the third component of the version number.
Indeed, the third component may not exist on every platform. If there is a release that fixes some problem on Windows, for example, and it happens to be version 7.1.18, then this version will not exist on any UNIX platform.
So, when your software had been shipped, there had been one patch applied to the parallel engine and none to the server engine. Your client software will be at release 7.0.x as well, but I have no idea what the value of x might be.

Hi vinodlakshmanan ,
I just wanted to note that normally the only time you'll find this info usufull is if and when you report a problem and at that time your support will ask and guide you to the correct manor in which to get exact version for server/EE.
And having minor release numbers like 7.0.0 EE to 7.0.1 Server has no real impact as for the ability to produce jobs of either type including sequence jobs with mix type job activities.
Bare in mind theese are 2 different engines each with it's own release.
IHTH,
