To execute a bulk change

Note: You can only execute one bulk change at a time. All other bulk changes are queued.

You can only generate batches for one bulk change at a time.

You cannot generate batches when a bulk change is executing.

Steps
 

Choose Tools→Bulk Operations from the NFM-P main menu. The Bulk Operations form opens.


Choose a bulk change from the list and perform one of the following.

  1. If the bulk change contains batches, click Execute to execute all of the batches.

    Note: Changes made to the network after the batches are generated are not affected by the bulk change batches.

  2. If the bulk change does not contain batches, or you want to regenerate the batches, perform the following.

    1. Click Properties. The Bulk Change (Edit) form opens with the General tab displayed.

    2. Click on the Batch Control tab.

      If the Generate Batches button is dimmed, set the Admin State parameter on the General tab to Enable.

    3. Click Generate Batches. The batches are generated and listed on the form.

    4. To execute only specific batches, choose one or more batches and click Execute Selected.

    5. To execute all of the batches, click Execute All.


Click Yes. The NFM-P executes the bulk change.


Close the forms.
