Does datastage server jobs needs configuration file?

Parallel jobs need configuration file in DataStage, what about server jobs? Normally server jobs runs in sequential mode only.

Solution

  • simplistically put Configuration file binds code to the hardware on which the code should execute, hence there is always a default config file (unless explicitly specified) that is used when a job runs. So even server jobs need a CPU to get executed hence the config file.
