Import Task

You can import one or more tasks, which will add the imported tasks to the task list and allow you to use and run the task.

You can use MOVEit Automation to import a task from an XML task export file. The task's properties, actions, triggers, and settings are in an XML file.

To import a task, you must have administrative access.

  1. Open MOVEit Automation and select the TASKS tab.
  2. In the Add Task list, click MICEN95_icon_Import Import Task.
  3. Browse to and select the XML task export file or files that you want to import. If the task contains password protected keys or certs, complete step 4, otherwise skip to step 5.
  4. If the selected task contains password protected keys or certs, you must enter the password in the Enter Password dialog box and click OK.

    Note: You cannot proceed without entering a password. If you input an incorrect password, the task is imported without the password protected keys or certs.

  5. Review the file elements that are displayed in the Import Task(s) dialog box.
  6. If an element to be imported matches an existing element in the config, the duplicate task element is accompanied by the overwrite icon MICEN95_icon_Export. The new element will overwrite the existing element in the config if the task is imported without removing or renaming the duplicate element. For more information, see Resolve Duplicate Task Elements
  7. Before the task or tasks are imported, you can rename or remove task elements. For more information, see Rename Task Element and Remove Task Element.
  8. The Disable the schedule(s) of imported task(s) and Filter to display the imported task(s) only check boxes are selected by default. For more information, see Import Options
  9. Click Import.

The task is imported and the The task has been imported message displays.
