Source - Azure Blob Storage Host Override Settings

A source's Host Override settings override the corresponding setting that is configured in the host. Your selections affect the source as it is defined in the context of the task.

The settings in this topic pertain to Azure Blob Storage source types. For information about other source types, see the table in Add a Task Source.

To access these settings:

For an existing task: Select TASKS. Click the task name. Click Step > Source. Or if the source is already defined, click its more options icon and select Edit.
For a new task: Click TASKS > Add Task > New Task. Click Step > Source. Add an Azure Blob Storage source.

Azure Blob Storage Source - Host Override	Description

Authentication tab To override default settings, select the appropriate override check box.
Override Default Credentials	Specify an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key for MOVEit Automation to sign on to the host.
Timeouts tab To override default settings, select the appropriate override check box.
Override Default Connect Timeout	Number of seconds to wait when attempting to connect to the host.
Override Default Data Timeout	Number of seconds to wait when sending data to or receiving data from the host. Downloading large files from an Azure Blob Storage host may result in the following error. `The client could not finish the operation within specified timeout.` To fix this error, increase the data timeout value appropriately.
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.
Download Limits tab To override default settings, select the appropriate override check box.
Override default 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.
Override default 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.
Data Integrity checking tab To override default settings, select the appropriate override check box.
Data integrity checking for Azure Blob Storage when downloading files	Never perform data integrity check MOVEit Automation will not perform download integrity checking. This is similar to the default settings for most other host types. Perform data integrity check if the hash calculation is guaranteed MOVEit Automation will perform download integrity checking where it can guarantee the accuracy of the calculations. This option avoids false negatives but may result in being unable to guarantee download integrity. Always perform data integrity check and ignore failures MOVEit Automation will perform download integrity checking. If a failure is detected, a warning is issued in the system log and the download is successful. This option requires you to scan the system log to troubleshoot download errors. Always perform data integrity check MOVEit Automation will perform download integrity checking. If an error is detected, the download the task fails. This option ensures that downloads are performed correctly. Note: If the original uploader used a non-standard upload buffer size, the download might incorrectly be reported as corrupted.
