Bulk / Mass Update Content via RIDC

As Mass Metadata updating cannot be done with Repository Manager and Archiver can be arduous the following Java Class can be used instead. (Change the red text to suit your circumstances)

public class MassUpdater {

    private static IdcClientManager manager = new IdcClientManager();

    private static IdcClient idcClient;

    private static IdcContext userContext;

 public static boolean massUpdate() {

        DataBinder binder = idcClient.createBinder();

        binder.putLocal("IdcService", "GET_SEARCH_RESULTS");

        binder.putLocal("QueryText",

                        "dSecurityGroup <matches> `Public`");

        binder.putLocal("searchFormType", "standard");

        binder.putLocal("SearchQueryFormat", "UNIVERSAL");

        binder.putLocal("ftx", "");

        binder.putLocal("AdvSearch", "True");

        binder.putLocal("folderChildren", "");

        binder.putLocal("ResultCount", "200");

        binder.putLocal("SortField", "dInDate");

        binder.putLocal("SortOrder", "Desc");

        try {

            ServiceResponse response =

                idcClient.sendRequest(userContext, binder);

            DataBinder serverBinder = response.getResponseAsBinder();

              DataResultSet resultSet =

                serverBinder.getResultSet("SearchResults"); // loop over the results

         

            int z = 0;

            for (DataObject dataObject : resultSet.getRows()) {

                singleUpdate(dataObject.get("dDocName"),dataObject.get("dID"),dataObject.get("dRevLabel"),dataObject.get("dSecurityGroup"), "UCMMETADATAFIELD", "UCMMETADATAVALUE");

                z++;
                System.out.println(dataObject.get("dDocTitle")+"----"+z+"/"+resultSet.getRows().size());

                

            }

            return true;

        } catch (Exception ex) {

            System.out.println(ex);

        }

        return false;

    }

 public static boolean singleUpdate(String dDocName, String dID,

                                       String dRevLabel,

                                       String dSecurityGroup, String field, String value) {

        DataBinder binder = idcClient.createBinder();

        binder.putLocal("IdcService", "UPDATE_DOCINFO");

        binder.putLocal("dDocName", dDocName);

        binder.putLocal("dID", dID);

        binder.putLocal("dRevLabel", dRevLabel);

        binder.putLocal("dSecurityGroup", dSecurityGroup);

        binder.putLocal(field, value);

        

        try {

            ServiceResponse response =

                idcClient.sendRequest(userContext, binder);

            DataBinder serverBinder = response.getResponseAsBinder();

            //System.out.println(serverBinder.getLocalData().get("dStatus"));

            return true;

        } catch (Exception ex) {

            System.out.println(ex);

        }

        return false;

    }

     public static void init() {

        try {

            String ucmServer = "ucmServerURL";

            MassUpdater.idcClient =

                    MassUpdater.manager.createClient("idc://" + ucmServer +

                                                     ":4444");

            MassUpdater.idcClient.getConfig().setSocketTimeout(30000); // 30 seconds

            MassUpdater.idcClient.getConfig().setConnectionSize(20);

            userContext = new IdcContext("sysadmin");

        } catch (Exception ex) {

            System.out.println(ex);

        }

    }

}

You may want to extend this to take a Map of Metadata/Value pairs if you want to achieve true re usability.
You should also Paginate your results depending on your MaxQueryRows / ResultCount
