Batch-Geocoding
Learn about batch geocoding.
The following records are updated:
- A configuration entry Geolocation Handler (MC) is defined for the record's info area.
- Mandatory address fields (Country, City, Street and ZipCode (default) or custom fields as defined by the Field Mapping configuration entry) are not empty.
- Records with Precision != "failed".
- The coordinates fields (Longitude and Latitude) are empty.
By default, when the configuration options are not defined, the following limits are enforced:
- 200,000 records per batch
- five batches per day
- 10,000,000 records per year
The maximum size of a batch is 300 MB (uncompressed request).
The limits can be configured using the following configuration options (MC, Geo-Coordinates category):
- Maximum number of addresses per batch request: Records per batch.
- Maximum number of batch requests per day: Batches per day.
-
Maximum number of addresses in batch requests per year: Records
per year.
Enter the desired values in the Numeric field. These settings are applied globally.
Note: For Bing maps license keys supplied by Aurea Software Inc., refer to Aurea Bing Maps Usage Limits.
The information on the remaining number of records to be geo-encoded in the current year is saved in T3 (Process "(10,000) TrackingProcessTypes.BatchGeocodingRemainingLimit") and displayed on Aurea CRM web's System Information page (Remaining number of geocodes for the current year).
Note: The year always starts at January 1st. The counter (on the System Information page) is
reset when batch-geocoding is executed for the first time in a year. Therefore, limit
changes are only applied at this time.
