When a Business Flow has dozens of nodes, resources, or functions that need the same change — such as a new owner or a different data integration resource group — updating each object individually is slow and error-prone. Batch Operations lets you filter objects by criteria, select them in bulk, and apply changes in a single action. You can then commit and publish those changes to the production environment.
Batch Operations is available in DataWorks Standard Edition and later.
Filter criteria by object type
Each tab on the Batch Operations page supports different filter criteria. The following table lists the key criteria for each object type.
| Object type | Available filter criteria |
|---|---|
| Node | Business Flow, Owner, Node Type |
| Node (Offline Sync) | Business Flow, Owner, Data Integration Resource Group, Source Type, Destination Type, Source Data Source, Destination Data Source |
| Resource | Business Flow, Owner (refer to the UI for additional criteria) |
| Function | Business Flow, Owner (refer to the UI for additional criteria) |
