This topic applies to Sync tasks.
The sync preview dialog box shows the actions that the sync will perform the next time the task runs.
Note: If you View Sync Preview immediately after the task runs, and no changes have occurred in Folders A or B since the task ran, the Sync Preview shows no actions.
Prerequisite: The Sync task must have a Folder A and Folder B defined.
To access this dialog box: TASKS > Click a Sync task name > Actions > View Sync Preview.
Note: Depending on the number of files and folders in the sources, it can take several minutes or longer for MOVEit Automation to compile a list of changes that the sync task will make. For performance reasons, the Preview lists a maximum of 1,000 entries. If more than 1,000 entries are received, an alert message indicates the number of total entries.
