A Traditional task tracks whether a process succeeds or fails. If the process fails, the task does not complete the transfer. In an Advanced task, you use a conditional branch to track the success or failure of a process. The conditional branch is typically located in a file loop.
When you convert a traditional task to an advanced task, the following occurs:
A new advanced task is created with the name <original-task-name> Advanced.
The new task is disabled.
MOVEit Automation adds File Loops and Conditional Branches where appropriate.
If the traditional task included a Next Action Email, it is converted to a Send Email step. A Next Action Run Task is converted to a Run Task step.
To convert a traditional task to an advanced task:
Click TASKS and click a traditional task.
At the upper right side of the page, click Actions > Create Advanced Task from Task.
The new task page opens. The process and destination are now in a File Loop. If a Next Action Email was part of the traditional task, it is converted to an Email element inside the conditional branch.
To add elements, click Step and make a selection.
Recommended: Using test data, run the task. Check the logs to see if the task is working as expected.
