Running a Stage on a Remote Server

If your system administrator has enabled remote servers in Management Console, you can have stages in your dataflow execute their processing on a remote server. Using remote servers can improve performance by spreading dataflow processing among multiple Spectrum™ Technology Platform servers.

Your system administrator may have already designated certain stages to run on a remote server. If a stage is already routed to a remote server, you will see a red star in the top-left corner of the stage icon on the canvas in Enterprise Designer.

This procedure describes how to configure remote processing for a stage in a dataflow.

  1. Open the dataflow in Enterprise Designer.
  2. Double-click the stage you want to route to a remote server.
  3. Click Runtime.

    The Runtime Performance dialog appears.

  4. Click Remote and select the remote server to which you wish to route the process for this stage.
  5. Click OK.
