Task Actions

To access Synchronization task actions:

Edit Sync Options...

Opens the Synchronization Task Options dialog.

Swap Sync Folders

Causes MOVEit Automation to swap Folder A and Folder B. In a one-way sync task this action will swap the identity of the master folder. In a two-way sync task this action will have much less effect. In both cases the saved directory listings MOVEit Automation uses to figure out which files and folders need to be ignored, moved, created, etc. are also swapped to avoid incurring an immediate "re-transfer everything" situation.

Clear Sync Listings

Clearing a task's sync listings will cause MOVEit Automation to treat this task like a new sync task and may cause MOVEit Automation to re-transfer files and folders that it has already moved.

The selected task is marked Disabled. Before you can re-enable the task, you must run a Sync Preview.

Clearing sync listings is typically useful only if you want to "start over" with this sync task without rebuilding it from scratch. This task's Sync Preview will regain access to "Initial Run" parameters after sync listings are clear. If this task is old or has been busy over its lifetime, MOVEit Automation may decide to rebuild or delete many files and folders once the sync listings have been cleared.

View Sync Preview...

Opens the Synchronization Preview dialog.
