Source - Local File System or UNC - Host Override Settings

A source's Host Override settings override the corresponding setting that is configured in the host. Your selections affect the source as it is defined in the context of the task.

Settings in this topic pertain to sources that use Local File System hosts or UNC hosts. For information about other source types, see the table in Add a Task Source.

To access the Host Override settings for Local File System or UNC sources:

For an existing task: Select TASKS. Click the task name. Click Step > Source. Or if the source is already defined, click its gear icon and select Edit.
For a new task: Click TASKS and add a traditional or advance task. Click Step > Source. Add a Local File System or UNC source.
