Automic Workload Automation

Should you need to perform actions at the OS level, such as changing file permissions for instance, this will have to be done in a separate OS job.

For instance, if you want to make files read-only in Windows, you can create a Workflow (JOBP) that will contain a JOBF and a JOBS:

The JOBF will transfer files from one location to the other:

You can apply modifications to the files after they were transferred with a regular OS command. The DOS command below will recursively set txt files located in c:\temp\transfer to 'Read Only':

Another Idea could be using PREP_PROCESS in Postscript to change permissions afterwards:

:SET &HND# = PREP_PROCESS("VWGSUP16_UNIX","UNIXCMD",,"CMD=chmod 777 /tmp/1/test_changed_*.txt","UC_LOGIN=@LOGIN")

I posted an updated version of a similar solution I came up with a few years ago:
Set permissions after file transfer
