Batch Preview and Merge

The new Batch Contact Merging script has been written in JavaScript, and consists of the following components:

• mergeContactsBatchJob.wsf – a Windows Script File which defines the mergeContacts batch job,
• mergeProcessorBase.inc – JavaScript code common to both Contact and Site merge, can be used from command-line batch job or a web page,
• mergeContactsProcessor.inc – JavaScript code which can be used from command-line batch job or a web page,
• mergeContactsBatchWrapper.js – JavaScript code which can only be used from command-line batch job.

All these files are located in $DovetailAgent\scripts\merge folder.

To run the script, execute a command:

CScript mergeContactsBatchJob.wsf [option...] parameters

where 'option' is any CScript option.

The parameters include:

• /user:<user> – system administrator user id
• /password:<password> – system administrator user password
• /directory:<dir> – working directory
• /merge:<true> – perform merge if true, otherwise preview only
• /master:<objid> – if objid specified, only process this master contact

The only required parameter is: /directory:<dir>. It points the merge script to a folder which:

• contains fc.env file
• will contain 'Logs' subfolder, where the output reports will be written into.

Use /user:<user> and /password:<password> parameters to override those in fc.env file.

Examples:

preview-only run, use fc.env file for all database connection parameters

CScript mergeContactsBatchJob.wsf /directory:my_path\my_directory

preview-only run, use fc.env file for database connection parameters, provide new user credentials

CScript mergeContactsBatchJob.wsf /directory:my_path\my_directory /user:<user> /password:<password>

merge run, use fc.env file for all database connection parameters

CScript mergeContactsBatchJob.wsf /directory:my_path\my_directory /merge:true

merge run, use fc.env file for all database connection parameters, merge specific master contact only

CScript mergeContactsBatchJob.wsf /directory:my_path\my_directory /merge:true /master:<objid>

a sample fc.env file is provided in the $DovetailAgent\scripts\merge folder.
