You might use a pre-session or post-session command to start FTP/SFTP scripts or stored procedures, rename or archive files, or run post-processing commands. Configure pre-session and post-session commands in the PowerCenter session.

When you configure a pre-session or post-session command, you can enter a single command or you can call a batch file that contains a set of commands. If you use a batch file, be sure to use complete paths or directories. When you configure the pre-session or post-session command in PowerCenter, enter the complete path or directory along with the file name, such as

c:/IC PowerCenter Task Commands/pre-session1.bat
