Overview

Batch mode is an optimized way to upload high volume of data using special API provided by few of the platforms. Currently Dropbox, Dropbox For Business, Office 365 and OneDrive For Business have support for this feature. When running in batch mode, instead of committing one file at a time, files are committed in batches optimized for each platform.

Note

To leverage the Bulk (Batch) Migration API, transfer accounts must be an Site Collection Administrator. Non-Administrator transfer accounts will default to use CSOM, even when batch mode is requested with the job.

Configure Your Job

Batch mode policy can be changed or disabled by setting transfer.batch_mode to:

  • none - disable the batch mode for all job's executions

  • initial -  use batch mode for the first job execution only

  • always - (default behavior) use batch mode for all job executions

Code Block
{
	"name":"Simple Transfer Job with no batch mode",
	"kind": "transfer",
	"transfer": {
		"batch_mode": "none",
    	"transfer_type": "copy",
	    "source": {
    		"connection": { "id": "{{nfs_connection}}" }
    	},
    	"destination": {
    		"connection": { "id": "{{cloud_connection}}" },
    		"target": {
    			"path": "/MyDestination1"
    		}
    	}
	},
	"schedule": {
		"mode": "manual"
	}
}

Enable Batch Manifests

Batch Manifests are configured in your appSettings.json file.

  • You need the platform ID. See List Platform ID's for the call to return the ID. 

  • You must restart your DryvIQ Service to enable the batch manifest feature.

  • Batch manifests are located in your log directory.

This is the element that needs to be included to enable batch manifests. Replace "platform_id" with the corresponding platform ID. 

Code Block
}
 "platform_id": {
   "batch_save_manifests": true
}

The example code below shows enabling batch manifest for Office 365 (platform_id = office365-oauth2) and OneDrive for Business (platform ID = onedrive-business-oauth2).

Code Block
{
  "data": {
    "provider": "sqlserver",
    "connection": "SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=SkySyncV4;Integrated Security=SSPI;",
    "directory": "C:\\ProgramData\\SkySync\\v4"
  },
  "server": {
    "proxy_url": "http://192.168.1.76:9090/"
  },
  "deployment": {
        "packageDirectory": "C:\\ProgramData"
  },
    "office365-oauth2": {
    "batch_save_manifests": true
  },
    "onedrive-business-oauth2": {
    "batch_save_manifests": true
  },
  "license": {
    "activation_key": "ab4e994a-342f-0000-0000-b5da2577579b"
	}
  }
}

Configure Batch Size

Batch Size is configured in your appSettings.json file.

  • You need the platform ID. See List Platform ID's for the call to return the ID. 

  • You must restart your DryvIQ Service for the batch size to be applied.

  • The Default Batch Size is 100.

Code Block
{
  "data": {
    "provider": "sqlserver",
    "connection": "SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=SkySyncV4;Integrated Security=SSPI;",
    "directory": "C:\\ProgramData\\SkySync\\v4"
  },
  "server": {
    "proxy_url": "http://192.168.1.76:9090/"
  },
  "deployment": {
        "packageDirectory": "C:\\ProgramData"
  },
    "office365": {
    "batch_save_manifests": true,
    "batch_item_limit": "5"
  },
    "onedrive-business": {
    "batch_save_manifests": true,
    "batch_item_limit": "5"
  },
  "license": {
    "activation_key": "ab4e994a-342f-0000-0000-b5da2577579b"
	}
  }
