Running PX on windows
Hi,
I am trying to run PX jobs on windows, but facing problems like it says job aborted.
Could some one tell me that whether I need to have a C++ compiler?, and if yes how do i connect it to the DS engine?.
Or is it like I cant have DS server installed on windows for PX?
I am in desperate need.
Regards,
Rupesh

You do need a C++ compiler. Typically the one chosen is in Visual Studio .NET. The only fully parallel-capable version of DataStage for Windows (currently) is 7.5x2; you must have this version. To "connect" the compiler to DataStage you specify the compiler and linker information via the environment variables (in the Compiler collection) such as APT_COMPILER. These can be set in the Administrator.

Hi,
What version of DS have you installed?
On what OS did you install it?
If my memory serves me I recall someone saying it's included, but not 100% sure.
Can you run jobs that do not include transformer stage/s?

PX on Windows
Hi All,
Thanks for your replies.
As per the questions you asked, refer following:
1) I installed DataStage 7.5.1.A on Windows XP Service Pack 2
2) I do have C++ Compiler but how do I check whether its .NET one?
3) Also I dont know how this C++ Compiler gets connected to DS Engine to run my jobs?
4) I created a simple job with basic Transformer with input and output as sequential files. The job get aborted with the error: Fatal: This jobtype is not currectly runable on this platform.
5) I tried running a job without a transformer but still faced the same above error.
Could someone please tell me how do I start PX running on Windows?
Regards,
Rupesh

Re: PX on Windows
Answer is right there in the message. While any version can be installed on Windows, only a very specific version can also run PX jobs on Windows - and 7.5.1A is not that version.rupeshg wrote:The job get aborted with the error: Fatal: This jobtype is not currectly runable on this platform.
A search for your error message or for something like 'PX on Windows' would have turned up many posts like this one that would have answered your question.

And, indeed, what I had stated earlier in this thread.
Actually, you can even develop with the other versions, but you can neither compile nor run the developed parallel jobs unless you have version 7.5x2.
