Inputs and Outputs

Some Server stages support multiple input and output links while their Parallel equivalent stages do not. In these cases S2PX will restructure those designs. This restructure may requires the generation of new stages and/or links for which S2PX will generate new names. The naming standards used as as follows:

Stage Naming: The table below describes the ‘generic’ naming approach which may change from Stage type to Stage type.

Link Naming: In all cases the generated Parallel stage links use the same name as the original Server stage link.

Mode	Server Design	Generated Parallel Equivalent	Stage Names

Mode	Server Design	Generated Parallel Equivalent	Stage Names
Single Read Stage with a single output link	Open	Open	The generated Parallel stage uses the same name as the original Server stage.
Duplicate Read Stage with multiple output links			The generated Parallel stages will be named using the format: OriginalStageName_n where ‘n’ is an incrementing integer starting at 1.
Single Write Stage with a single input link			The generated Parallel stage uses the same name as the original Server stage
Duplicate Write Stage with multiple input links			The generated Parallel stages will be named using the format: OriginalStageName_n where ‘n’ is an incrementing integer starting at 1.

Stages to Containers

Where a Server Stage is rendered as multiple Parallel Stages then the Server Stage will be rendered as a Local Container with the aim of keeping the appearance of generated Parallel canvas as close to that of the original Server job as possible.
