DB2 PLUGIN STAGE FOR PARALLEL JOB vs SERVER JOB

Post by taticaramos »

Hello,
noticed that the db2 plugin stage for server jobs it has the funcionality to accept input and output but when we try to use the same on in a parallel job it jut accept either one (output or input but not both). Anyone knows if there is a way to use the same funcionality from the server job in the parallel job?
Thanks,

Welcome aboard.

There is none. Parallel jobs explicitly forbid a passive stage having an input link and an output link, because this obstructs pipeline parallelism.

In a parallel execution environment you must implement this design using two jobs; one to write and one to read.
