I had my On This Day/Upcoming Events set to exclude dead people. So a relative who is turning 321 years of age shows. Checking his record, I forgot to indicate he's dead. And there are others. Seems when I didn't know death, I often forget the 1 DEAT Y.
That said, in Advance Search, it allows me to find +/- 10 yers but I want all records with birth before 1914 (I have assume dead at 95). That search isn't finding them all. Is there another method?

Probably a time-out. The batch update requires a great deal of resources, as it needs to load every record, allow for pending updates, apply privacy, write every change to the gedcom file, etc.
1) enable auto-accept
2) disable sync-changes-to-gedcom file
3) if it does time out, it should resume from where it left off if you press F5

I don't get past selecting to selecting the option from the batch menu. F5 doesn't do anything. I see "waiting for mydomain.com" then Done. Page still showing ISE.
(I'm on a super highspeed broadband connection if that means anything.)

Mac, selecting the "Add missing death records" is all you need to do. That starts the process of looking for all of them. So Greg's comment about time-out is still correct. If you have a lot missing you may need to press F5 a few times to get it to finish finding them - then you will get the option to accept reject them.
BUT - make sure the settings Greg listed are correct before you try it again.

This is quite an intensive operation. The algorithm to check whether a person is dead can need to check parents, grandparents, children, spouses, etc. You're almost certainly hitting server CPU or memory limits.

A fast connection won't help. It's the amount of "grunt" available on the server that matters.
If you have a copy of PGV running on a local server, you can download, run locally, then upload.

If it's that intensive, will do manually when I start doing another full edit of my gedcom. I don't have PGV running local. Maybe I can try that one day but not now. Thanks

Mac, I'm pretty sure its not a problem to have a 1 DEAT Y tag PLUS a 2 DATE following it.
So a manual update of ALL 1 DEAT tags to 1 DEAT Y would be easily done with a text editor (off line) that just has a basic "search/replace" function. I would keep it that simple. There's a risk that a few existing 1 DEAT Y tags will be changed to 1 DEAT YY; but all you need is a second run to replace 1 DEAT YY with 1 DEAT Y to fix those.

PGV has a facility to do this automatically.
Admin -> batch update -> add missing death records
This will add "1 DEAT Y" to everyone PGV considers to be dead, but who doesn't have DEAT/BURI/CREM/etc.
Installed 4.2.3. - thanks for the Christmas present. Included the batch updater.
Tried to run and received Internal Server Erroer

Is the error just related to Batch Update, or the whole site?
Just that batch update. I ran the fix names (//) and that was okay. Ran the missing _MARN update all and that worked okay.
