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 that are successfully downloaded by a task with a NoOp process are deleted if the "delete after successful transfer" option has been checked on the source.

No Op does not take any parameters or output any parameters.

Notes

This built-in script can be run per-file or once-after-all-files.

This built-in script can be run as the first step of a task.

Example #1

Jack wants MOVEit Automation to delete any files from a remote directory that end with an *.tmp extension.

To perform this operation with MOVEit Automation:

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 the file mask on the source.
3. Select "No Op" as the process.

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