PDS Structure

A PDS script typically coordinates three parts of a PDriver job:

Provide a pre-processing step to distribute inputs.

Provide a processing step to be done on Engines in parallel.

Provide a post-processing step to consolidate outputs.

To accomplish this, a PDS script is structured into different blocks, which are run at different points in the job’s lifecycle. Each block can contain statements (or actions) or other specific options. This section explains what blocks are used in a basic script, and what the other blocks are for.
