mass merging - safe and aggressive mode

[jos]

hello!

we're running  CiviCRM 4.2.0. and we need to merge many contacts because of special import procedure. But there's always the following error "445 pairs of duplicates were skipped due to conflict during the batch merge process with safe mode."

how to switch to aggressive mode? didn't find it.
may anybody help?

Aggressive mode is possible through api. Scheduled Jobs should allow you to add one with details as :

API Prefix: civicrm_api3
API Entity: job
API Action: process_batch_merge

In the parameters you could add mode=aggressive along with other required parameters rgid and gid.
Check api/v3/Job.php file - civicrm_api3_job_process_batch_merge() method for more information.
