Multiple GAM commands in one invocation?

[Admin@K-12-School]

I wonder if GAM could be used to issue multiple commands so that oauth process will be performed only once. Would make faster processing?

For instance,

GAM MULTI GAM <command1>, GAM <command2>

Ross, your thoughts?

[Ross Scroggs]

See: https://github.com/taers232c/GAMADV-XTD3/wiki/Bulk-Processing

GAM has batch files but each command is run independently.

What is the nature of the commands you're want to execute.

That would not be a problem, but at least the oauth process wold be performed only once?

[Ross Scroggs]

The oauth process is performed once for each client access command; it is performed

once for every user with service account command.

Again, What is the nature of the commands you want to execute.

Just curiosity about timings...

I am running a powershell script which will query custom fields and update gmail signature accordingly. It takes 25 seconds per user, just wondering if I could speed up operations. This a chunk, the whole script is a bit longer

$executionTime = Measure-Command {

# Place your code block here

Write-Host "Retrieving $user data..."

$u = gam info user $user formatjson | ConvertFrom-Json

Write-Host "Retrieving custom fields.."

$cc = gam info user $user nogroups custom CustomSignature formatjson | ConvertFrom-Json -Depth 10

$myTemplate = $template -replace '##NAME##', $u.name.fullName -replace '##EMAIL##', "$user$domain"

$role = $cc.customSchemas.CustomSignature.Role

if ($cc.customSchemas.CustomSignature.Role){

$myTemplate = $myTemplate -replace '##ROLE##', "$role<br>"

}else{

$myTemplate = $myTemplate -replace '##ROLE##', ""

}

Write-Host "Updating signature"

gam user $user signature $myTemplate

}

# Display the total time taken

$executionTime.TotalMilliseconds / 1000

[Ross Scroggs]

Try this:

$u = gam info user $user quick fields name custom CustomSignature formatjson | ConvertFrom-Json -Depth 10

Drop $cc = and use $u instead of $cc in remaining steps

You can use input files for most commands, but they still run one by one and if you get a warning or error there is no indication about what the source command line was, so they are useless.

I split my jobs into individual line commands, but run 4 of them at once to cut the time down, then do a re-direct of the console out to a log file for review.
