Parallel processing

There are two basic types of parallel processing; pipeline and partitioning. InfoSphere® DataStage® allows you to use both of these methods. The following sections illustrate these methods using a simple parallel job which extracts data from a data source, transforms it in some way, then writes it to another data source. In all cases this job would appear the same on your Designer canvas, but you can configure it to behave in different ways (which are shown diagrammatically).
