Imported tasks are not ready for production use immediately after import. Before testing or enabling an imported task, review any warning summary comments, step-level comments, schedules, endpoints, authentication methods, keys and certificates, agent assignments, and task execution logic.

Review task comments

Review all comments added by the import process. These comments may include:
  • A warning summary at the beginning of the task.
  • Additional warning summary comments if the list of warnings is long.
  • Step-level comments above steps that require manual review.
  • Comment steps that replace unsupported scripts, unsupported steps, disabled steps, Run Task references, or unsupported workflow behavior.

Review task steps

Review each imported step and confirm that the task logic matches the intended MOVEit Automation behavior.

Pay particular attention to:
  • Source and destination steps.
  • File filters.
  • Macros and parameters.
  • Zip and unzip behavior.
  • PGP encryption and decryption behavior.
  • Email and post-run actions.
  • Conditional logic.
  • Comment steps replacing unsupported configuration.
  • Update original, delete original, or rename original behavior.
Important: Review the task before using Run Now. Some migrated behavior may be represented differently in Automate MFT, and running the task before review may process, move, rename, or delete files in a way that differs from the original MOVEit Automation task.

Review endpoints and authentication methods

Review every endpoint and authentication method used by the imported task.

Confirm that:
  • Endpoint types are correct.
  • Host names, paths, buckets, containers, libraries, and folders are correct.
  • Authentication methods contain the expected credentials.
  • Keys and certificates were imported, reused, or assigned correctly.
  • Any required host public keys or client certificates have been configured manually.
  • Any unsupported authentication methods have been replaced or corrected.

Some keys, certificates, credentials, and SSH host public keys cannot be imported automatically. Review all imported authentication methods and endpoint configuration before testing the task. Automate MFT adds warnings when manual configuration is required.

Assign an agent

Imported tasks do not have an agent assigned. Before testing or running the imported task, assign an appropriate Automate MFT agent or agent pool.

Select an agent that can access all required source and destination locations. If the task accesses on-premises systems or private network resources, assign a self-hosted agent with access to those resources.
