To step through this quick start, you should have the following:

  • Data Loader installed on the computer that runs the command line process.
  • The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) installed on the computer that runs the command line process.
  • Familiarity with importing and exporting data by using the Data Loader interactively through the user interface. This makes it easier to understand how the command line functionality works.

When you install Data Loader, sample files are installed in the samples directory. This directory is found below the program directory, for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\salesforce.com\Apex Data Loader 22.0\samples\. Examples of files that are used in this quick start can be found in the \samples\conf directory.
