Pre/Post Process

The options listed on this page can be accessed from the Pre/Post Process window. This screen allows the user to choose external applications / scripts to be run before and after the processing of a given Job.

Before

Use this field to specify (by file path) which application or script you would like to run before processing a Profile. File paths can be manually entered, or the open folder icon can be used to locate files.  You may also use pre-defined configuration commands. See our support page for a list of available options.

After

Use this field to specify (by file path) which application or script you would like to run after processing a Profile. File paths can be manually entered, or the open folder icon can be used to locate files. You may also use pre-defined configuration commands. See our support page for a list of available options.

The following options are available to automatically trigger a validation report after a job in PeerSync successfully completes.

RunValidationReport - Runs the File System Analyzer to log all files in both the source and target, then compares the results and creates an Excel-based diff report.

RunValidationReportWithChecksums - Runs the File System Analyzer to checksum all files in both the source and target, then compares the results and creates an Excel-based diff report.

Wait for application to end before continuing

Check this feature if you want PeerSync to wait for the applications specified in the "Before" and "After" fields to close before processing additional tasks.

Use maximum wait time of x seconds

Selecting this feature sets a limit (in seconds) for how long PeerSync will wait for the applications specified in the "Run Before" and "Run After" fields to close. In order to activate this function, the "Wait for Application to Terminate" function must be checked. The default, when this feature is not checked, is to wait indefinitely.
