Overview

Functional description

The NFM-P bulk operations function allows you to create bulk changes to modify a large amount of information. Bulk changes may be deployed to NEs or restricted to the NFM-P.

A bulk change can contain thousands of target objects. These objects, referred to as batch items, are grouped into batches for efficient bulk change execution. An operator can execute an entire bulk change or individual batches.

You should regenerate batches each time you execute a bulk change to ensure that each target object that matches the bulk change filter is modified.

If one or more of the batch items fail to change during a bulk change operation, the Batch Status and the Batch Status Summary parameters help identify the items. You can also use the Task Manager to view information about a batch.

The NFM-P displays a confirmation message before executing bulk change operations. You can configure user preferences to disable confirmation messages for bulk change operations; see To configure NFM-P user preferences .
