You can import one or more tasks, which will add the imported tasks to the task list and allow you to use and run the task.

You can use MOVEit Automation to import a task from an XML task export file. The task's properties, actions, triggers, and settings are in an XML file.

To import a task, you must have administrative access.

To import a task, complete the following steps.

  1. Open MOVEit Automation and select the TASKS tab.
  2. Select Import Task from the Add Task drop-down list.
  3. Browse to and select the XML task export file or files you want to import.

  4. Review the file elements that are displayed in the Import Task(s) dialog box.
  5. If an element to be imported matches an existing element in the config, the duplicate task element is accompanied by the overwrite icon . The new element will overwrite the existing element in the configuration if the task is imported without removing or renaming the duplicate element. For more information, see Resolve Duplicate Task Elements
  6. Before the task or tasks are imported, you can rename or remove task elements. For more information, see Rename Task Element and Remove Task Element.
