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.
