You can export a task so that the task is stored in an XML file that can be imported if required. The task's properties, actions, triggers, and settings are in an XML file.

To export a task complete the following steps.

  1. Open the TASKS tab and select the task that you want to export from the Tasks List. The task properties page is displayed.
  2. Click Actions > Export.
  3. If the task uses keys or certificates, you have the option to select the Export Keys and Certificates check box to export the keys and certificates with the task.
  4. Select one of the following export encryption options:
    • Server key - sensitive data is encrypted with a key that is unique to the server.

      Configurations exported with a server key, create an export compatible only with this server.

    • Passphrase - sensitive data is encrypted with a passphrase which allows the configuration to be imported into other MOVEit Automation servers.

      You can use the suggested passphrase or specify your own passphrase.

      Store the passphrase securely, it cannot be retrieved if lost or forgotten.

The task is exported. The default name of the exported task is original_task_name Export.
