Hey

I am a new to DS 8.1. I am having few basic questons on architecture.

1) Does the WAS has to be up and running always for the DS jobs to run on DS Engine.

2) Does metadata repository stores the job designs etc.


thanks
Sunil

1) Yes
2) Yes, but it's not the only location: there is also a local repository on the engine tier, used particularly while jobs and other components are being designed/edited.
