Tasks Setting

Description

Maximum Running Tasks

Maximum number of tasks that MOVEit Automation can run at any given time. Default is 20 tasks.

Tasks prevented from running immediately are queued. Queued tasks are started from the queue in FIFO order when the number of currently-running tasks drops below the value you specify.

This setting is useful on machines that attempt to launch hundreds of tasks at the same time.

Note: This limit affects only the tasks that are run directly by the MOVEit Automation scheduler. Tasks that are started manually by a MOVEit Automation Admin or by the MOVEit Automation API ignore the running tasks limit, and are run before any queued scheduled tasks.

Allow Multiple Runs of Same Task

Controls whether multiple runs of a task are run at the same time

Does not affect tasks that use AS2 hosts.

Can be overridden when starting a task manually.

Suppress Queued Tasks on Startup

If checked, tasks that are subject to notification are not run automatically at startup.

Also affects running of these tasks when a secondary fails over to being the primary.

Selecting this option gives better startup performance, but might result in the delayed retrieval of new files.

Notification Polling Interval

Specifies how often MOVEit Automation software polls any target servers that use the File Notification option for new files.

AS2 Polling Interval

This setting is available only if the AS1/AS2/AS3 model is licensed.

Specifies how often MOVEit Automation software polls an AS1\2-linked MOVEit Transfer server for incoming AS2 messages.
