Datastage Compile time

[ArndW]

The inclusion of transform stages can slow down compilation, particularly if the c++ compiler user license limit is low (i.e. 1). You can check that by compiling a large job with no transform stages - if it is fast then you have located the bottleneck.

Exactly the same things have to happen whether you compile from Designer or from the command line. Therefore it should make no difference to the total time taken.
