Task Runs

• Maximum Running Tasks - Controls the maximum number of tasks MOVEit Automation will run at any given time. This setting is often useful on machines that otherwise attempt to launch hundreds of tasks all at once as it essentially implements a task run throttle. Tasks prevented from running immediately are queued; queued tasks are taken and started from this queue in FIFO order whenever the number of tasks currently running drops below the maximum value set here. The default value for this setting is 20.

  Note that this method of throttling task runs only limits tasks run directly by the MOVEit Automation scheduler. Tasks started manually by either MOVEit Automation Admin or MOVEit Automation API, or tasks started via a Next Action step of another task will ignore the running tasks limit and insert themselves in front of any queued scheduled tasks.

• Allow Multiple Runs of Same Tasks - Controls whether multiple runs of a task will be allowed to run at the same time. Setting this to "No" will prevent a task from being run more than once at a time. This does not affect tasks that use AS2 hosts, and can be overridden when starting a task manually.
• Suppress Queued Tasks on Startup - When enabled, MOVEit Automation will suppress automatic running, at startup, of tasks that are subject to notification. This also affects running of these tasks when a secondary fails over to being the primary. Enabling this option gives better startup performance, but may result in the delayed retrieval of "new" files.
