HOSTS

Hosts define endpoint servers where MOVEit Automation can get or put files. Sources and destinations depend on host definitions. You must define a host before you can create and configure tasks that use the host in a Source or Destination.

Changes made to a host definition immediately affect all sources and destinations that depend on that definition. This behavior is useful when you are configuring many tasks that use the same host. For example, if the host changes its IP address, the source or destination reflects the change.

Each host can be of one type.

• To view hosts: In the MOVEit Automation Web Admin top menu bar, click HOSTS.
• To filter the list of hosts: At the left side of the screen, expand Type and Secure. Make selections. For more information, see Filtering and Sorting.
• To Add a host: In the top menu bar, click HOSTS. Click Add Host and select a host type.
• To Edit a host: Click HOSTS and click the name of an existing host. You can filter the list. The properties page opens, listing properties in categories. In the category heading, click Edit.

Note: Prior to the MOVEit Automation 2017 release, the name of the MOVEit DMZ product was changed to MOVEit Transfer. In MOVEit Automation 2017, both MOVEit Transfer servers and supported versions of MOVEit DMZ servers can be added as MOVEit Transfer hosts. In this help system, the term MOVEit Transfer host refers to a host based on a MOVEit DMZ server or a MOVEit Transfer server, unless otherwise indicated. For more information on supported versions, see the Release Notes.
