No Op

"No Op" means "No Operation". "No Op" is a dummy task that always completes successfully. It is most often used in a task whose role is to delete files; files successfully downloaded by a task with a "NoOp" process will be deleted if the "delete after successful transfer" option has been checked on the source.

It neither takes nor outputs any parameters.

Notes

This built-in script may be run per-file or once-after-all-files. This built-in script may be run as the first step of a task.

Example #1

Jack would like MOVEit Central to delete any files from a remote directory that end with an "*.tmp" extension.

To perform this operation with MOVEit Central, Jack should...

1. Create a new task with a source, process and schedule. (No destination!)
2. Check the "Delete Originals After Success Transfer" option and specify "*.tmp" as his file mask on his source.
3. Select "No Op" as his process.

When this task executes, all *.tmp files will be downloaded from Jack's source into the MOVEit Central cache. The NoOp process will execute and MOVEit Central will then delete all the files it just downloaded from the source. No files will be retained permanently or transferred to any destination.
