Issue with PX installation

[sumesh.abraham]

Hi All,

I've installed DS EE 7.5.2 on my PC. When I click on 'new' on the designer's menu,the pop up window doesn't have the options like New Server Job, New Server Sequence, New server shared container..etc. It has options only relevant to parallel. I believe that option to create server jobs/sequences is part of PX. Do I miss out anything during installation.

I would appreciate if anyone can help me out on this issue.

Thanks,
Sumesh

The options for server components are only available if whoever installed the DataStage server licensed both parallel and server engines. It is perfectly possible to license the parallel engine only, which I believe is what has happened. You can verify this on the Licensing tab of the Administrator client - you can even license the server engine there (without re-installing) if you are logged in as the Administrator and have the pertinent authorization code.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the reply. I've done the installation myself. Does the licensing happen during installation or it is a separate process?Can I license the server engine now and make available the server components? If so, how can it be done? Please let me know.

Thanks,
Sumesh

Yes you can. As advised log on to the Datastage Administrator client and go to the license tab and update it with the new authorization details.

us1aslam1us,

Thanks for the reply. Do u have any idea on what details need to be provided for authorization? You mean the DS Server Edition License details?

Yes. All you need is the additional authorization code.
