Enable BASIC transformer in DataStage

When you are developing a Parallel job in DataStage, we are able to call a server routine in our Parallel job provided that we make use of BASIC transformer.

BASIC transformer is not visible in the Proccesing palette in Parallel job. Hence we would need to bring in the BASIC transformer to our design canvas following the steps stated below:
