Searching Records Using Mass Update

When the Mass Update screen is invoked for the first time, a drop-down list of available repositories is displayed based on the security settings applied to the repositories.

You can retrieve records n number of times in one edit session. Every time, you perform a new search, all newly searched records are shown, along with the previously searched records, in default sort order.
Note: You can set a limitation on the number of records to be loaded by using the Maximum records loaded for mass update configuration property. The default value is 15000. You can configure the property to a lesser value to optimize if you know that you have a small set of records to work with.

If a record has already been retrieved in another search, that record is not included again.

Procedure

  1. Log in to TIBCO MDM.
  2. Click Master Data > Mass Update.
  3. Select a repository from the drop-down list. By default, the first repository in the list is selected.

    For all subsequent invocations of the screen, the default is the previously selected repository. If the previously selected repository has been removed, the default is the first repository in the drop-down list.

  4. Click Configure to configure the columns displayed. For more information, refer to Configuring Columns Displayed in Various Tables.
