You claim to have an ODBC driver for Progress. Use (Add) that. If you haven't got one, get one.

Let's start by trying to understand how you have managed to use a UV stage in a parallel job? And what is a "uv activity stage"?

Because you're paranoid? :lol:

Again, you need highly skilled technical support to explain why a particular library can not be unpacked. People outside IBM are extremely unlikely to have the skills or analytical tools needed.

You do not need MKS Toolkit for server edition only. You may safely ignore the error.

Why? It doesn't matter. These are purely cosmetic.

It's probable that your job monitor application (JobMonApp) is not running.

Can you see row counts in the Monitor view in Director client?

You mentioned that this is a server license. If that's true, configuration file is moot. Tools > Configurations is the correct location to use from client tools. Try using the Manager client.
