Hi Sudheer,
If you are refering to the downloads:
- Linux/Unix are "servers" only = all components other than clients.
- Windows has "Server" downloads which are Server and Client in one installation package
and then there Client only (obvioulsy only for Windows..Designer = Windows)
Client only = the (Windows) Designer that is needed to define the datasources and create the job. You drag and drop elements on the main window (although it is a little more complicated )
You can put a Designer on every Laptop of your Data Flow developers, but they will be pointing back to the Server to execute the jobs. (So even if you create the job in the Designer and rightclick to execute it, the Designer will simply save the job into the shared database (called repository) and tell the Server to execute that job.)
Once this design part done the job will be saved in the (repository) database and can be executed by the JobServer.
Somehow inbetween is the Management console which is a web interface on tomcat. For the installation it is still "Server" part. It will show you if Jobs have completed and you can start jobs from there. However the jobs must exist and you can't create them.
