Background

S2PX supports the in situ conversion of Server jobs from standalone (i.e. non-Cloud Pak) DataStage v11.3.x, 11.5.x and v11.7.x.
S2PX can only convert Server jobs which already successfully compile and run in a supported version of DataStage.

Technical Requirements

Requirement	Description	Link
IBM DataStage Fix Pack vX.X or later	S2PX requires the installation of a DataStage Fix pack in your existing DataStage environment to provide a number of additional capabilities requires for it to operate. New S2PX datatype conversion functions which are required to convert between Server datatypes and native Parallel datatypes. New DataStage Parallel functions equivalent to previously Server-only functions. Note that any Server functions not implemented in IBM’s Fix Pack will be reported in the relevant ASSET QUERIES.	IBM Support: Fix Central
MettleCI Command Line vXXX or later	The MettleCI Command Line Interface is used as the primary interface into S2PX functionality	Passport Advantage Online for Customers (ibm.com)
C++ Compiler	A C/C++ Compiler is required when you need to replace a custom Server function currently written in DataStage BASIC with a replacement Parallel function. Instances on these will be identified by S2PX Asset Queries.	Setting up a C++ compiler - IBM Documentation
DRS Storage Platform	Hashed Files will be replaced with a DRS Connector which will require, at a minimum… One or more instances of a supported DRS database One or more user accounts with relevant permissions to those database instances Appropriate drivers installed on your DataStage Engine(s) necessary to access those database instances	DRS Connector stage - IBM Documentation
