Performing a Batch Update

You can use the Batch Update feature to update the rate plan and life cycle state for multiple SIM cards with one upload.

Procedure

  1. Log into Predix Edge Manager.
  2. In the left navigation pane, select Connectivity.
    The Connectivity page lists the SIM cards associated with your account.
  3. (Optional) Filter the SIM card list by life cycle state or plan by entering search criteria in the search box, such as "Activated."
    Skip this step if you want to update all SIM cards.
  4. Click Export to export a CSV file containing the SIM cards to update, and save the exported CSV file locally.
  5. Update the information for the SIM cards, then save the file.
    You can go to the SIM card's details page to see the rate plans and states that are available to the SIM card. See Viewing Details for a SIM Card.
  6. In Predix Edge Manager, in the left navigation pane, select Connectivity > Batch Update.
  7. Click Upload CSV.
  8. In the Batch Update window, click Choose File.
  9. Browse to locate and select your CSV file.
    Edge Manager validates the file as it is uploaded. The dialog box displays a Batch Update Summary of the following information:
    • Total Sims
    • State changes
    • Rate plan changes
    • IP changes
    • Error records
    If there are errors in the file, click the view link to download the CSV file, which lists any errors detected during validation. To correct the errors before submitting the updates, click Cancel, fix the errors, and upload your CSV again.
    Note: Only validated records are processed. If you proceed with the update without fixing errors, the error records are not processed.
  10. Click Update to submit the updated SIM records.
    Your update appears in the Batch Update list. The Error column shows the number of records that contained errors, and the Success column shows the number of records that were successfully updated. The numbers are links, which you can click to download a CSV file with a list of the corresponding SIM cards.
