Server to PX Conversion/Migration
Is there any procedural way of converting all Server Jobs from 7.5.2 version to 8.0.1 version of PX, instead of re-creating equivalent PX jobs by manually?

Take the low hanging fruit approach. Leave them as server jobs and then convert those jobs that obviously need to run in parallel - the really long running bottleneck jobs. Redesign those jobs for parallel paying attention to where the sorts happen and what type of lookups you use - not something you would trust to a conversion tool.

The main tool for conversion is located between the keyboard and the chair.
Analyze the logic of the server job, identify need for parallelism (and for partitioning and sorting), then design a parallel job from scratch to re-create the logic of the server job. Forget everything you know about server jobs when doing this (or buy the Server to Parallel Transition Lab DVD from DSXchange Learning Center).
