To automate your DAT file testing process, create a task to automatically copy DAT files from the Evaluation branch of the repository to the Current branch.
You must have created the server task to automatically copy the DAT and content files to the Evaluation branch of the repository.

Select Menu → Automation → Server Tasks, then click Actions → New Task.
In the Server Task Builder Descriptions tab, type a task name and notes, then in Schedule status, click Enabled, then click Next.
In the Actions tab, configure these settings, then click Next:
For Actions list, select Change the Branch for a Package, select All packages of type 'DAT' in branch 'Evaluation' as the package to change, Copy as the action, then click Current as the target branch.
Click + to create another action, and from the second Actions list, select Change the Branch for a Package, select All packages of type 'Engine' in branch 'Evaluation' as the package to change, Copy as the action, and Current as the target branch.
In the Schedule tab, change these settings:
For Schedule type, click Daily.
For Start date, select today's date.
For End date, click No end date.
Change the Schedule settings to configure the task to run at 4:00 or 5:00 p.m.
Note
Historically, Trellix releases DAT files only once a day, at about 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (19:00 UTC or GMT). In the rare case that a second DAT file is released later in the day, it requires an administrator to disable the copy task to your Current Branch.
Click Next, confirm that all settings are correct in the Summary tab, then click Save.
To confirm that the DAT file copy from the Evaluation branch to the Current branch is working, go to Menu → Software → Main Repository and use the Check-In date information to confirm that the Evaluation branch DAT file was copied to the Current branch at the time configured in the schedule.
