Variables for All Step Types that Use Path

The order by which the PeopleTools runtime will pick up objects from the file system is as follows:

  1. Staging directory

  2. PS_CUST_HOME

Change Assistant will loop through the paths in order of precedence until it finds the first instance of the file object at which time it will execute the step.
