Settings

The Settings tab includes the following subsections:

• Statistics Gathering: Performance statistics and state logging.
• CORS Settings: MOVEit Transfer server indicates to clients (such as Outlook Add-in) they should allow access to these.
• Other Settings: Server settings for IP mask, timeout, and disk space.

  

Statistics Gathering

MOVEit Transfer periodically polls the local server for status and performance statistics and records them into a database for later processing. Statistics Gathering settings determine how that statistics gathering mechanism operates. For more information, see SysStat Service.

• Retention: Length of time that records exist in the statistics database. Default: 30 days.
• Interval: How often the statistics gathering process polls the local server. Default: 323 seconds.
• Long Process Skip Count: MOVEit Transfer records the amount of used disk space in various DMZ folders on the server by recursively counting the bytecounts of all files and subfolders under the selected folders. Because this process can take a significant amount of time and resources, these statistics are not collected every time the statistics gathering process runs. Long Process Skip Count determines how many runs the process skips before gathering statistics. Default: 72 runs.

Server Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Settings

The MOVEit Transfer Ad Hoc Add-in for Outlook needs to access resources that do not reside on the same port, scheme, or host domain as the MOVEit Transfer server. When a user runs the Ad Hoc Outlook Add-in, it must initially access resources specific to the Microsoft Add-in framework before it can connect to the MOVEit Transfer server. So, you need to add a Custom CORS exception that enables the MOVEit Transfer server to indicate to the Outlook client that this cross-origin sharing is allowed.

CORS settings panel on the Settings Tab

Set Custom CORS Setting (Access-Control-Allow-Origin Value)

1. On the Allowed Origins dropdown list, select Custom.

   The Settings Tab enables the CORS Custom Origin controls.

2. Click Add, and in the CORS Custom Origin URLs: Define an origin in the Custom Origin URL. (This is a specific value that enables the Outlook Add-In for MOVEit Transfer to enable sessions with your MOVEit Transfer Server. )
3. Restart the IIS Service on the Status tab.

   The MOVEit Transfer server will add this CORS exception for its clients to honor.

Other Settings

Other Settings Panel of the Settings Tab

• IP Masks to Ignore DNS: MOVEit Transfer uses the Windows DNS client to look up the hostnames of IP addresses. Sometimes internal IP addresses cannot be resolved by the available DNS servers, but timeouts involved obtaining this information can affect the performance of operations that require reverse lookups (such as sign-ons). Adding specific IP addresses and/or ranges of IP addresses into this list will cause MOVEit Transfer to skip DNS reverse lookups of those addresses and may speed signons and similar actions.
• Max Session Timeout: Specifies the maximum length of long file transfer sessions. User sessions are automatically extended to this limit during file transfers to permit slow or large transfers to succeed. Default: 120 minutes.
• Disk Space Low Warning: MOVEit Transfer periodically checks the remaining disk space on all local drives. If the remaining space on any of the drives falls below this level, an email is sent to the Send Errors To email address containing a message about the low disk space. Default: 1024 MB.
• Default HTTP Data Timeout. Modify to override the default HTTP data connection timeout (60 seconds). The setting applies to backend MOVEit Transfer transactions.
