A source's Host Override settings override the corresponding setting that is configured in the host. Your selections affect the source as it is defined in the context of the task.

The settings in this topic pertain to SharePoint source types.

For information about other source types, see the table in Task Source.

SharePoint Source - Host Override

Description

Authentication tab

To override the default credentials, check the Override Default Credentials check box.

Select App Access or User Access

App Access

Client ID: The Client ID for your SharePoint App.

Client Secret: The Client Secret for your SharePoint App.

Realm ID: The unique logon space, or administrative boundary that uses one set of authentication servers to manage and deploy a single set of unique identifiers. Authentication against a realm provides access to resources from that realm alone.

User Access

Username: Username of a SharePoint instance user.

Password: Password of a SharePoint instance user.

Timeouts tab

To override default settings, select the appropriate override check box.

Override Default Connect Timeout

Number of seconds to wait when attempting to connect to the host.

Override Default Data Timeout

Number of seconds to wait when sending data to or receiving data from the host.

Override Default Retry Count

Number of extra times that a transfer (get or put) is retried before MOVEit Automation no longer attempts the transfer. Default is 0 - transfer is not retried after a failure.

Override Default Retry Timeout

The number of seconds between retries of a transfer (get or put). Default is 30 seconds.

Override Default Transfer Rescan time

The number of seconds between directory scans to detect changes in file size or date.

The default is 0, which deactivates the feature. You can override the value in the individual task settings.

The Transfer Rescan prevents the download of incomplete files. After a file that matches the download criteria is identified, MOVEit Automation rescans the directory to detect file changes. If file changes are identified, MOVEit Automation implements one of the following options:

  • Traditional/Advanced tasks: The file is removed from the download list. This feature detects when another application is changing a file, which prevents MOVEit Automation from downloading partial files.
  • Sync Tasks: The files are rescanned until successive scans identify unchanged files. This feature identifies stable sources, which prevents tasks running multiple times to capture and synchronize changes in a directory.

Download Limits tab

To override default settings, select the appropriate override check box.

Override default file count download limit

Maximum number of files that are downloaded from a source in a single task run against this host.

If the limit is exceeded, and the Advanced task setting Automatically re-run task if source download limits are encountered is set, the task is automatically rerun.

Override default file size download limit

Maximum number of bytes that are downloaded from a source in a single task run against this host. Value of 0 means no limit.

Downloading stops after the first file that causes the number of downloaded bytes to exceed the limit.

If the limit is exceeded, and the Advanced task setting Automatically re-run task if source download limits are encountered is set, the task is automatically rerun.
