important It is best practice to run the MOVEit Transfer Server and the database it connects to in the same time zone. Otherwise, security features like multi-factor authentication for sign-on as well as secure connection protocols used between the services will not function.

Schema Support

MOVEit Transfer server schema supports English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional, and Japanese.

Large Scale MOVEit Transfer Systems Using MS SQL Server

If you deploy MOVEit Transfer to use MS SQL Server, it is best practice to run TempDB on storage that performs well. Since version 8.2, MOVEit Transfer uses Read Committed Snapshot Isolation (RCSI) to mitigate latency and concurrency issues that might be realized in large installations (millions of files). For more details, see the Administrator Guide.
