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. The value can be overridden by settings in individual tasks.

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.
