409 when doing multiple Data Transfers

[Jason Coutu]

Good Morning All

We're having an issue when doing post termination Data Transfers. We do data transfers for their calendars, their drive and their data studio dashboards. 

If any of the transfers have more than a few files to transfer, we get a 409 on the next transfer in the chain as the previous one hasn't finished yet. This makes sense. We need to wait until the transfers have finished. 

We thought the obvious solution to this was to use batch mode in GAM, but it keeps going before the the transfer is finished.

Is anyone else doing something like this?  How have you worked around this issue?

i have used gam csv users.csv gam create transfer "~email" drive,calendar desti...@domain.com all release_resources

with CSV files containing hundreds of accounts. 

You can't create a transfer while transfer is running, but specifying calendar,drive should let you process the two items at once.

Thanks for the quick response. I see from your response that instead of running three commands for my three transfers, I can run one command with the transfer domains as a comma-separated list. 

I'll attach the command I ended up with as it's a good reference for others doing employee offboarding. I made the change and my scripts run perfectly now. 

gam create datatransfer $user calendar,gdrive,"Google Data Studio" $manager
