Creating Mainframe jobs
Please let me know whether I can extract data from MVS database & transform it using a Parallel job or I need to create a Mainframe job for that.

It can be done, but the politics of getting access to the mainframe system usually means that they produce an extract (using a COBOL program or SQL) into a text file and FTP that to some location that you can process.
You do not specifically require a DataStage mainframe job. Of course, if you do have an edition of DataStage that can create a mainframe job, you can generate the COBOL program that "they" can run on your behalf. This might also look after the FTP phase.
