Hi,
Can somebody detail any information about APT_ORCHHOME..?
And based on which environmental parameters the user will be having access to read and write in a project...?

Not sure what you are asking here or what you've already been able to glean from searching the relevant DataStage manuals (Parallel Job Developer's Guide and Parallel Job Advanced Developer's Guide).

APT_ORCHHOME specifies the location of the parallel execution engine. The parallel execution binaries are in $APT_ORCHHOME/bin and the parallel execution libraries are in $APT_ORCHHOME/lib, and so on.

Access to projects is not governed by environment variables. It is governed by membership of operating system groups that are associated with DataStage product roles.

I had gone through almost all the topics in both parallel guide as well as advanced parallel guide.. however, in the Advanced parallel guide only few information I got about APT_ORCHHOME in the "Environment Parameter" section which says...
APT_ORCHHOME
Must be set by all DataStage Enterprise Edition users to point to the
top-level directory of the DataStage Enterprise Edition installation.

Just wanted some more informations, if at all available...!

That's really all there is to it, a pointer to the top level installation folder that lower level components can then leverage. Nothing more mysterious than that.
