When CA 2E is integrated with PTC Implementer, is there a way to setup to run some pre-process and post-process programs during the promotion of objects?
CA 2E 8.7.x
PTC Implementer 12.x
There are various exit points in Implementer where you can setup special commands to perform actions.
Special commands can be for:
1. To create new special command, take F6=Create
2. To change existing command, take option 2=Change
3. Environment of *RQS indicates request special command as opposed to environment (*ENV), or global (*ALL), or checkout
(*CHK) special command
4. For Action field defines what phase in promotion request will run command
1. 1=Compile - command runs in compile phase
2. 2=Dist-Host - command runs in distribution phase on host system
3. 3=Dist-Rcvr - command runs in distribution phase on remote
4. 4=Move - command runs in move phase (host and/or remote)
5. 5=Move-Host - command runs during host move phase
6. 6=Checkout - command runs during check out phase
5. When to do field defines when within For Action phase command will run
1. 1=Before - command runs before For Action phase starts
2. 2=After-OK - command runs after For Action phase completes successfully
3. 3=After Fail - command runs after For Action phase fails
6. Sequence number field provides ability to sequence when special commands will occur when multiple commands entered
7. Command field holds the command to be executed
1. To execute commands for specific items on promotion request refer to IEXCRQSDTL command in "Implementer User Guide"
2. Commands must be located in library in target environment library list, or qualified
8. For more information or a complete list of substitution variables, see Implementer User Guide
