Many times we use Views Buk Operations with Batch Api for doing a big set of operations. When the count of operations is huge, even Batch API gets short. A faster and more efficient way to do that is using drush to do the heavy backlifting.
The commands are:
vbo-execute Execute a bulk operation based on a Views Bulk Operations (VBO) view.
vbo-list List all Views Bulk Operations (VBO) views, along with the operations associated with each.Examples:
drush vbo-execute admin_content node_publish_action --- Publish nodes returned by view admin_content.
drush vbo-execute view_name views_bulk_operations_delete_node_action --- Delete nodes in a view
drush vbo-execute admin_content node_unpublish_action input:type=expense argument:3 -- Unpublish nodes returned by view admin_content, filtering results of type expense and passing value 3 as first view argument. Note: The name of the operation can be easily found when selecting the operation in the Views UI for VBO
The Arguments to be supplied to vbo-execute:
Arguments:
vid ID or name of the view to be executed.
operation Callback name of the operation to be applied on the view results.
input:name=value ... Parameter to be passed as view input filter.
operation:name=value ... Parameter to be passed as operation argument.
argument:value ... Parameter to be passed as view argument. --
