Limits

File Count download limit

Maximum number of files that are downloaded from a source in a single task run against this host.

If the limit is exceeded, and the Advanced task setting Automatically re-run task if source download limits are encountered is set, the task is automatically rerun.

File size download limit

Maximum number of bytes that are downloaded from a source in a single task run against this host. Value of 0 means no limit.

Downloading stops after the first file that causes the number of downloaded bytes to exceed the limit.

If the limit is exceeded, and the Advanced task setting Automatically re-run task if source download limits are encountered is set, the task is automatically rerun.

Timeouts

Retry Count

Number of extra times that a transfer (get or put) is retried before MOVEit Automation no longer attempts the transfer. Default is 0 - transfer is not retried after a failure. The value can be overridden by settings in individual tasks.

Retry Timeout

The number of seconds between retries of a transfer (get or put). Default is 30 seconds.

Connect Timeout

Number of seconds to wait when attempting to connect to the host.

Data Timeout

Number of seconds to wait when sending data to or receiving data from the host.

Advanced

Alternate Host

Secondary host to which to rollover when the primary host is not available. For example, if after the designated Retry Count, problems are encountered connecting or logging in to the primary host.

Rollover does not occur if other problems exist, such as: the directory does not exist, or there are insufficient permissions to access a file.

For a host to appear as an option in this field, you must have previously created it. The alternate host must be the same type of host as the primary host.

This field applies to the individual host. This is different from the failover feature that applies to nodes.

Delete State for Host path entries after

Number of days after which State information for this host is deleted.

Note: When this host is assigned as a task source that uses Collect Only New Files, MOVEit Automation saves file stamp information that is specific to this host and the task source's folder path and file mask. If a source's folder path and/or file mask contains a non-static macro (for example, [DD] or other date/time macros) the actual source folder path/file mask combination can potentially be different every time the task runs. This can cause the saved state information for this host to grow excessively large and without limits.

Use default state cache settings

• Selected (default). Uses the default state cache settings that are specified in SETTINGS > System Settings > State File. For more information, see State File Settings.
• Not selected: Specify how long to cache state information for this host.
• Note: By default, MOVEit Automation keeps state file information cached in memory to achieve maximum efficiency. In some environments, this can become very memory intensive. Use the State Cache settings to remove state file information from memory after a task run, or after a specified amount of time.
