10.2. Large-Scale Batch Changes in Connections’ Native Mode
Save on operations overhead by managing numerous Connections with a single request.
You can perform large-scale batch changes in Connections’ Native Mode via the Inventory Management batch operations campaign management functionality. If the connections population is based on a search criterion, you can initiate batch changes for up to 100,000 connections at a time directly from the grid without the need to upload files. If the batch change is for specific named connections based on connection identifiers, then you can initiate batch connection changes of up to 1000 at a time from the grid and up to 100,000 at a time with file uploads from the Batch Operations tab.
First step: Define the search criteria for the connections population that you want to select by using the filters, sorting and search operations.
Second Step: After you specify the target connections population through your search criteria, you need to select it and hand it over to batch operations. This can be done in the following manner:
Location: ➀ check the Select All checkbox > ➁ Press the banner informing you how many Connections can be selected that match the required criteria > ➂ Select the action to execute. In this case, “Change Native Mode” > ➃ Optionally, you can press the ‘Advanced' control button for additional fine-tuning.
Third Step: you may optionally configure the batch jobs parameters using the Change Native mode Advanced Settings dialog, allowing you to submit a job for batch processing with a custom configuration.
Manually submitting a custom configuration batch job:
