Fourth: Monitor a Task

Now it is time to run and monitor your task.

  1. Left-click a task, and select the "Set Filter to This Task" item.
  2. Left-click the task again and select the "Run Now" item.
  3. Switch first to the Debug Log tab. Detailed information about your task run will be displayed here. (When you opted to "Set Filter...", the task-level debug level was automatically elevated to "More Debug".)
  4. Now switch to the Status tab where you can see a quick, "what happened during my last run" view of the task.
  5. Then switch over to the Reports window (if it is not already selected, make sure to set the Display option to Task Runs). Your task run (and more like it if you rerun the task) should be listed at the top of the "Task Runs" view. If you are fast enough, you will see your task listed with a yellow "working" icon in the Status column. Otherwise, your task may be listed with a red exclamation point or green checkmark icon. (If you see a red icon, your task failed.)
  6. If you flip over to the "File Activity" view you should also see any files your task moved at the top.
  7. Finally, if you flip over to the "Audit" view you should see your manual task start action ("task_run") logged at the top.

At this point you have the skills to configure and monitor file transfers tasks on MOVEit Automation using MOVEit Automation Admin. The rest of this manual discusses the many options and configurations that affect how these tasks operate.
