AFTER/BEFORE ROUTINE

All,

what is the difference between 'AFTER/BEFORE ROUTINE' which is under 'Job Properties' and in the 'Transformer' ?

Say for example,

I used mv command (to move the processed file to Archive folder) in 'AFTER/BEFORE ROUTINE' in the job properties.

I called a user defined routine (which will send the job status ) in 'AFTER/BEFORE ROUTINE' in the TRANSFORMER.

which one will trigger first? will both of them execute once the job completed ?

Job level routines are executed as per their definations i.e. before job subroutine executes before job execution ..e.g. In most of the cases it is used to create the input files or move or copy the files ..

After job subroutine executes after the job's successful completion.
E.g. mostly to remove the intermediate files..

Before Stage and After Stage will be executed as per their definations..

i.e. Before stage execution routine executes and after stage routine will execute after the stage execution..

Hope this helps !
