DB2 PLUGIN STAGE FOR PARALLEL JOB vs SERVER JOB

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.
