There is no parallel equivalent to the Folder stage (and, if there were, it would necessarily run sequentially). Similarly, there is no parallel equivalent to the XML Input, XML Output and XML Transformer stages.
You could construct your componentry in a server Shared Container, and incorporate that into your parallel job. But not that it will not - can not - operate in true parallel mode. See Parallel Job Developer's Guide (search for Incorporating Server Job Functionality) for information about the other limitations on this approach.

I am a totally independent consultant, and have never been an employee of Ascential. I have no greater influence with the vendor than you do.
You can post an enhancement request here at DSXchange, or on Ascential Developer Net or through your support provider.
The "Hawk" release is far too advanced for last minute enhancements - it's already in beta testing.

This is from a posting from June 2005:
I have not worked with XML before, nor have I worked in a Server environment. We went from Torrent directly to DataStage PX. To borrow the term from another poster (in the same thread, viewtopic.php?t=93387), we have tried to be a pure PX shop.
Anyway, we have a new source that will be sending us XML files. Well, that shoots out our 'PX purist' intentions right out the door. My question is this: Can we use a server Shared Container to handle the XML Input read and then got directly to a PX stage where it can be repartitioned ASAP?
Container -> PX Sort (with hash partitioning on input) -> whatever...
I have not used containers before either. When created, can they be used like a stage where it has input and/or output streams?
I appreciate the info. Thanks!
