Sync Folders - Local Folder, Mapped Drive, UNC Source Override

The sync folder's Host Override settings override the corresponding settings that are configured in the host. Your selections affect the sync folder as it is defined in the context of the task.

Settings in this topic pertain to sync folders that use Local File System hosts or UNC hosts. For information about source overrides for other host types, see Sync folders - Host Override settings.

Local File System or UNC - Host Override tab	Description

Timeouts tab
Override Default 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.
Override Default Retry Timeout	The number of seconds between retries of a transfer (get or put). Default is 30 seconds.
Override Default Transfer Rescan Time	The number of seconds between directory scans to detect changes in file size or date. The default is 0, which deactivates the feature. You can override the value in the individual task settings. The Transfer Rescan prevents the download of incomplete files. After a file that matches the download criteria is identified, MOVEit Automation rescans the directory to detect file changes. If file changes are identified, MOVEit Automation implements one of the following options: Traditional/Advanced tasks: The file is removed from the download list. This feature detects when another application is changing a file, which prevents MOVEit Automation from downloading partial files. Sync Tasks: The files are rescanned until successive scans identify unchanged files. This feature identifies stable sources, which prevents tasks running multiple times to capture and synchronize changes in a directory.
