Elements in Traditional Tasks
Typically, you define the elements in the order shown.
Source: A source defines a single location from which files are obtained for use in a task. Each source is a reference to a host. A task can have an unlimited number of sources.
Process: In a task, a process runs a single built-in script or custom script. The script must exist before you can add it to a process. For more information, see Scripts. In a traditional task, the process can run on each file downloaded source file, or it can be run once after all files are downloaded.
Destination: A destination defines a single location to which files are sent when a task runs. A task can have any number of destinations, or no destinations. If a task has no destinations, it must have at least one process to be eligible to run.
Schedule: A task can have more than one schedule. To run automatically, a task must have a minimum of one schedule. Tasks with or without schedules can be run manually by the operator.
