Overview

Batch mode is an optimized way to upload a high volume of data using a special API provided by some platforms. Currently, Dropbox, Dropbox for Business, Microsoft Office 365, and Microsoft 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.

Configure Your Job

Setting transfer.batch_mode to one of the following options can change or disable the batch mode policy. 

{
    "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 Connection Management for the call to return the platform ID.
• You must restart your DryvIQ Service to enable the batch manifest feature.
• Batch manifests are located in your log directory.

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

}
"platform_id": {
  "batch_save_manifests": true
}

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

{
 "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-graph": {
   "batch_save_manifests": true
 },
   "onedrive-business-graph": {
   "batch_save_manifests": true
 },
 "license": {
   "activation_key": "ab4e994a-342f-0000-0000-b5da2577579b"
    }
 }
}

Configure Batch Size

The Batch Size is configured in your appSettings.json file.

• You need the platform ID. See Connection Management for the call to return the platform ID.
• You must restart your DryvIQ Service for the batch size to be applied.
• The Default Batch Size is 100.

 "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/"
 },

       "packageDirectory": "C:\\ProgramData"
