Batch update sets enable you to group update sets together so you can preview and
commit them in bulk.
Dealing with multiple update sets can lead to problems, including committing update sets in the
wrong order or inadvertently leaving out one or more sets. You can avoid these problems
by grouping completed update sets into a batch.
Note:
To preserve the update set batch hierarchy while cloning, set only the parent update set to 'Ignore' status and leave all other update sets as 'Complete'. This will prevent batch sets from cloning and preserves the batch
update set hierarchy.
The system organizes update set batches into a hierarchy. One update set can act as the parent for multiple child update sets. A given set can be both a child and parent,
enabling multiple-level hierarchies. One update set at the top level of the hierarchy acts as the base update set.
When you preview or commit the base update set, you preview or commit the entire batch.
The system determines the processing order, and checks for collisions, based on the
dates the changes were recorded, and on their sequential ancestry. Their ancestries are
the specific instances in which the changes in the update sets took place.
The list of update set records reflects the batch hierarchy in the Parent andBatch Base columns. Figure 1. List of batched update sets Figure 2. Diagram of batched update set hierarchy
