At the top of the page, select one of the following two modes for running the batch job.
Option Description Sequential (Default) The change is done in one transaction that reverts all entries to the dimensions they had before the change.
This option is recommended if the company has relatively few posted entries, in which case the batch job takes the shortest time to complete. The process locks multiple tables and blocks other users until it is done. Be aware that with large databases, the process might not complete in this mode. In that case, use the Parallel option.Parallel The dimension change happens in multiple background sessions and the operation is split into multiple transactions. To use this option, turn on the Parallel Processing toggle.
We recommended this option for large databases or companies with a lot of posted entries because it will complete in the shortest time. Note that in this mode, the update process won't start if there is more than one active database session.In the Global Dimension 1 Code and/or Global Dimension 2 Code fields, enter the new dimension(s). The current dimensions are displayed in gray behind the fields.
Depending on the mode, do one of the following:
- In Sequential mode, choose the Start action.
- In Parallel mode, choose the Prepare action.
The Log Entries tab is filled with information about the dimensions to be changed.
Sign out of Business Central, then sign in again.
Choose the Start action to begin the parallel processing of the dimension changes.
