PlateSpin Transformation Manager provides bulk actions to help you manipulate and perform actions on multiple objects at a time.
You can import source workload information by importing or re-importing the machine information using the Bulk Import spreadsheet.
In the PlateSpin Migration Factory environment, the PlateSpin Migrate Connector provides automated discovery of details for machines in the spreadsheet after a successful spreadsheet import.
You can import a range of 256 IPv4 addresses using the Import option. The PlateSpin Migrate Connector provides automated discovery of details for any workloads discovered in a specified address range. It ignores devices that do not satisfy the supported processor architecture and profile for workloads.
You can apply settings to multiple proposed workloads at a time by setting values in the Bulk Edit dialog. Use the Global Project Selector, Filter, Advanced Search, sort, and multiple select functions to refine the workloads list and select the items for action. Use the Bulk Edit dialog to specify a value for one or more parameters in the selected workloads. Each specified value is set independently for a selected workload only if the value is a valid setting for it. Before you commit the changes, a pre-check reports information about the potential outcome and issues so that you can cancel the action if necessary.
You can apply state change settings to multiple proposed workloads at a time by using the Bulk Status Change tool. Use the advanced search and sort options to refine the list and select the items for action. Use the Bulk Status Change form to specify the appropriate state for the selected workloads.
NOTE:The Bulk Status Change option is not available if the selected workloads include one or more workloads in Manual (tracking) mode. Their status is controlled by the PlateSpin Migrate Server that is exectuting the migrations. Deselect the Manual (tracking) workloads and try again.
