To automate your DAT file testing process, you must create a task to automatically pull DAT files from the Trellix public site into the Evaluation repository branch.
You might want to configure this task to distribute only DAT files, if your organization tests the engine for a longer time, than the few hours in this example, or restricts their automatic release.

Select Menu → Automation → Server Tasks, then click Actions → New Task to display the Server Task Builder wizard.
In the Description tab, type a server task name, for example,
DAT pull hourly to Evaluation repository,and a description to appear on the Server Task page.In Schedule status, click Enable, then click Next.
In the Actions tab, configure these settings:
From the Actions list, select Repository Pull.
From the Source site list, select the Trellix public site you want to use, TrellixFtpMigrated or TrellixHttp.
From the Branch list, select Evaluation.
Deselect Move existing package to Previous branch, if needed.
From Package types, click Select packages.
From the Available Source Site Packages dialog box, select DAT and Engine, then click OK.
We recommend that, at minimum, you pull the DAT and engine files from the Trellix public website.
If you have multiple distributed repositories, you can chain a replication task to the same pull task to replicate your Evaluation branch to your distributed repositories.
In the Schedule tab, configure these settings:
For the Schedule type, click Hourly.
For the Start date, select today's date.
For the End date, click No end date.
From Schedule, configure the task to run every hour at 10 minutes past the hour.
Click Next, confirm that all settings are correct in the Summary tab, then click Save.
To confirm that the automatic DAT file pull is working, go to Menu → Software → Main Repository and use the Check-In date information to confirm that the Evaluation branch DAT file was updated within the last two hours.
