A.6 Bulk Data Update Settings

This tab defines settings that you use to submit multiple attribute updates to objects in the catalog by using a CSV file. For more information about performing bulk data updates, see Section 7.3.2, Editing Attribute Values in Bulk.

Base Folder

Create a folder on your Identity Governance server for update files. Specify that full path name of that folder in this field. You must also create sub-folders named input and output. The Identity Governance service must have read/write access permission on both of these folders. Identity Governance creates the CSV data template files in the output folder, and you submit edits by copying the updated template in the input folder.

Batch Size

(Optional) Specifies the maximum number of CSV data rows processed at one time. This option is useful for tuning the memory usage of the Bulk Update process. The default value is 1000.

When you place the csv file in the input directory, Identity Governance changes the extension name of the file as it process the file. Here are the different extensions and process the file goes through during the bulk process:

File Extension Name

Process

.csv

Identity Governance start the bulk process. It is the name on the file when you add it into the input directory.

.ph1

Phase 1 of the bulk process.

.fail

If the bulk process fails, the file name becomes .fail.

.done

If the bulk process completed, the name becomes .done.
