Background

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

IBM DataStage Fix Pack v11.7 : Fix Pack 3 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.

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
