Post-Process Tab

The Post Process tab is an object type-specific tab that is only available in the objects "FileTransfer", "Job" and "RemoteTaskManager". Processing commands can be stored here in AE's script language.

Description

The script commands stored in this tab are processed when the file transfer ended or was canceled.

An ended file transfer can still be controlled with post-process commands. For example, the file transfer's return code and status text (the text supplied by the Job Messenger in the Trailer) can subsequently be modified. The script statement :MODIFY_STATE (which was developed for exclusive use in the Post Process tab) defines the final ending of the file transfer.

Reports, for example, can be analyzed with PREP_PROCESS_REPORT. If an error is found, the status ENDED_NOT_OK could be defined for a file transfer although it has already ended normally from the "technical" point of view and vice versa. Return code "0" is assigned to canceled file transfers because the fact that the file transfer has been canceled is irrelevant for further processing.

With the script statement :RSET, script variables can be transferred between Process and Post Process tabs. This script statement returns the value that has been assigned to the script variable in the Process tab.

A file transfer's post script cannot contain JCL lines.

Post-Process commands are NOT executed in cases of ENDED_LOST task statuses.

Additionally, the following script elements must not be used:

:PUT_ATT - Setting attributes for RemoteTaskManager generation is irrelevant.
:EXIT - Canceling script processing with return code > "0" is not allowed.
:STOP - Interrupting script processing is not allowed.
