Performing a bulk DNS update - BlueCat Integrity - 26.1.0

How to perform a bulk DNS update in Address Manager.

1. Select the DNS tab in the sidebar, then select Views.
2. You can perform a bulk DNS update at the view or zone level. Do one of the following:
   • To perform a bulk DNS update at the view level, select the name of a view from the Views table or DNS tree.
   • To perform a bulk DNS update at the zone level, navigate to and select the name of a zone.
3. From the view name menu or zone name menu, select Bulk DNS updates.
4. Use the upload box to select or drag and drop a CSV file from your workstation.
5. Configure the following parameters:
   • Select one of the following options to define how Address Manager should behave if errors are detected during the bulk update:
     • Abort update—when selected, cancels the entire update process if there's an error with any of the updates. None of the updates are applied if any one update contains an error. If errors are encountered, a list of entries with errors appears at the end of the update process. There is one exception case for a delete action. If a record in the CSV file isn't found in Address Manager, errors will be ignored and logged in the server log, and updates without errors are applied.
     • Skip records with errors and continue update—when selected, ignores any updates that contain errors. Updates without errors are applied.
   • Override naming policy—when selected, resource records are created with names as specified in the update entries; any naming policies assigned to the view or zone are ignored. When cleared, any naming policies assigned to the view or zone are enforced; entries with resource record names that don't follow the naming policy are ignored. If updates are ignored because of naming policy conflicts, a list of entries with conflicts appears at the end of the update process.
   • Update dynamic record without dynamic deployment—when selected, dynamic record updates take effect in Address Manager, but are not dynamically deployed to the DNS/DHCP Server. If the CSV file contains both static and dynamic record update entries, this option still only affects the dynamic record entries within the file.
6. In the Change control section, add comments if required.
7. Select Update.
8. Review the results in the window that is displayed.

   If the updates were successfully applied, a message indicating successful application (and the number of applied updates) appears. If entries were skipped or caused the update process to cancel, a list of errors appears. Review the errors and correct the problems in your CSV file and attempt the update process again.
