Note: This feature is not implemented in MOVEit Automation 9.0 Web Admin. Use the Admin Console for this feature.
You can modify the file that MOVEit Automation uses to determine which files are new.
For each combination of host, pathname, and filemask, MOVEit Automation stores a date/time stamp of the most recent file in that directory that matches that mask and that has been successfully processed.
For MOVEit Transfer, Windows File System and Shares, FTP, and SSH hosts, MOVEit Automation uses this information to determine whether a file is new. For example, Sources that have Collect Only New Files use this information to determine which files to collect.
If you need to transfer a file again, even though it has already been processed successfully, you can edit that file's timestamp so that MOVEit Automation considers it to be new.
Example
A task has the source XYZ FTP file server. It looks for files in the path /uploads, matching the mask *.txt and has Collect Only New Files selected.
The task has run, and has transferred the new file report.txt that was last modified on 12 March 2014 at 2:15:00 pm. This causes MOVEit Automation to create an entry for the host XYZ FTP Server, path /uploads, mask *.txt with a timestamp 2016-02-04 14:15:00.
Edit this entry to change the timestamp to 2016-02-16. The next time the task is run, report.txt appears to be new, and will be transferred.
