#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To change multiple messages' timeout visibilities as a batch**  
This example changes the 2 specified messages' timeout visibilities to 10 hours (10 hours \$1 60 minutes \$1 60 seconds).  
Command:  

```
aws sqs change-message-visibility-batch --queue-url https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/80398EXAMPLE/MyQueue --entries file://change-message-visibility-batch.json
```
Input file (change-message-visibility-batch.json):  

```
[
  {
    "Id": "FirstMessage",
        "ReceiptHandle": "AQEBhz2q...Jf3kaw==",
        "VisibilityTimeout": 36000
  },
  {
    "Id": "SecondMessage",
        "ReceiptHandle": "AQEBkTUH...HifSnw==",
        "VisibilityTimeout": 36000
  }
]
```
Output:  

```
{

**Tools for PowerShell V4**  
**Example 1: This example changes the visibility timeout for 2 messages with the specified receipt handles in the specified queue. The first message's visibility timeout is changed to 10 hours (10 hours \$1 60 minutes \$1 60 seconds = 36000 seconds). The second message's visibility timeout is changed to 5 hours (5 hours \$1 60 minutes \$1 60 seconds = 18000 seconds).**  

```
$changeVisibilityRequest1 = New-Object Amazon.SQS.Model.ChangeMessageVisibilityBatchRequestEntry
$changeVisibilityRequest1.Id = "Request1"
$changeVisibilityRequest1.ReceiptHandle = "AQEBd329...v6gl8Q=="
$changeVisibilityRequest1.VisibilityTimeout = 36000

$changeVisibilityRequest2 = New-Object Amazon.SQS.Model.ChangeMessageVisibilityBatchRequestEntry
$changeVisibilityRequest2.Id = "Request2"
$changeVisibilityRequest2.ReceiptHandle = "AQEBgGDh...J/Iqww=="
$changeVisibilityRequest2.VisibilityTimeout = 18000
