MOVEit Transfer server provides error and exception handling. Some company audits may require a demonstration of this error handling capability.

How to Trigger an Example Exception

For this reason, a special transaction that causes a harmless exception to be thrown inside MOVEit Transfer is available. To execute this transaction, add the csrftoken and the phrase transaction=blowup to your URL query string, as shown in the example. For example, if your MOVEit Transfer server is located at https://moveit.mycompany.com/, sign on to your MOVEit Transfer server, and then load the following URL into your browser:

https://moveit.example.com/human.aspx?csrftoken=e815606238a4c8abc83e1977d60a8e40d391c27f&transaction=blowup

--Where moveit.example.com is the value you substitute with your MOVEit Transfer server's hostname and domain.
