Bulk.getOperations()

Compatibility

This command is available in deployments hosted in the following environments:

• MongoDB Atlas: The fully managed service for MongoDB deployments in the cloud

Example

The following initializes a Bulk() operations builder on the items collection, adds a series of write operations, executes the operations, and then calls getOperations() on the bulk builder object:

var bulk = db.items.initializeUnorderedBulkOp();
for (var i = 1; i <= 1500; i++) {
    bulk.insert( { x: i } );
}
bulk.execute();
bulk.getOperations();

The getOperations() method returns an array with the operations executed. The output shows that MongoDB divided the operations into 2 groups, one with 1000 operations and one with 500. For information on how MongoDB groups the list of bulk write operations, see Bulk.execute() Behavior

Although the method returns all 1500 operations in the returned array, this page omits some of the results for brevity.

Returned Fields

The array contains documents with the following fields:

originalZeroIndex

Specifies the order in which the operation was added to the bulk operations builder, based on a zero index; e.g. first operation added to the bulk operations builder will have originalZeroIndex value of 0.

batchType

Specifies the write operations type.

batchType	Operation
1	Insert
2	Update
3	Remove

operations

Array of documents that contain the details of the operation.
