Test the imported task before using it in production.
To test an imported task, keep Auto-Run disabled and complete the following steps:
- Confirm that an appropriate agent or agent pool is assigned.
- Review all warning summary comments.
- Review all step-level comments.
- Review endpoints, authentication methods, keys, certificates, and schedules.
- Run the task manually in a controlled environment.
- Verify connectivity to all endpoints.
- Confirm that all authentication methods work.
- Validate file selection and filtering behavior.
- Validate source and destination behavior.
- Validate processing steps, such as zip, unzip, and PGP actions.
- Validate email, conditional, and post-run actions.
- Compare the results with the equivalent MOVEit Automation task.
- Correct any configuration issues.
Note: Importing a task does not guarantee exact behavioral
equivalence between MOVEit Automation and Automate MFT. The imported
configuration must be reviewed and tested before production use.
