Hi,
Which is better? Installing DS Server and client on the same machine or on different machines?Why?
can anyone help me out on what all constraints should be considered while installing DS Server and DS Client.
Thanks,
Vimali.
Installation of DS.

Depending on which variant of UNIX you are using, you will need to change some kernel parameters. This is documented for your particular platform in the installation guide and in the readme file that ships with the software.

The clients do not run on UNIX.
You have specified that you have a UNIX-based server.
There is no way the same machine can run both UNIX and Windows at the same time.
That is why you need different machines.
The only exception is if you are running DataStage on Windows (which you specified you are not doing). Only then can clients and server be on the same machine, competing for finite resources.

Not "can". "Must".
The clients do not run on UNIX. They must, however, be able to connect to the UNIX machine on which DataStage server is running via TCP/IP. By default port number 31538 is used, so this must not be firewalled.
