The batch migration moves to `in_progress`, and its resources are translated asynchronously. Once no resource is `pending` or `in_progress`, the batch migration moves to `completed`. Starting an `in_progress` batch migration again does not queue duplicate work, so the request can be safely retried, including after a timeout or a `5xx` error. Returns `409 Conflict` if the batch migration is `completed` or `canceled`. An organization can translate up to 2000 resources in total across all of its batch migrations. Resources that were already processed count toward this limit even after they are deleted, and `pending` resources of `in_progress` batch migrations reserve capacity. Returns `409 Conflict` if starting the batch migration would exceed this limit. To request a higher limit for your organization, contact [Datadog support](https://docs.datadoghq.com/help/). This endpoint requires the `security_monitoring_rules_write` permission. OAuth apps require the `security_monitoring_rules_write` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#security-monitoring) to access this endpoint. ### Arguments #### Path
