server jobs can compile and run with in datastage server but parallel jobs can compile and run with in datastage unix server.
server jobs can extact total rows from source to anthor stage then only that stage will be activate and passing the rows into target level or dwh.it is time taking.
but in parallel jobs it is two types
1.pipe line parallelisam
2.partion parallelisam
1.based on statistical performence we can extract some rows from source to anthor stage at the same time the stage will be activate and passing the rows into target level or dwh.it will maintain only one node with in source and target.
2.partion parallelisam will maintain more than one node with in source and target.
