Getting a Batch Request

Get a batch request by sending a GET request to the following URI. This is available in API version 19.0 and later.

Alternatively, you can get a batch request in Salesforce. To track the status of bulk data load jobs and their associated batches, from Setup, click Monitoring | Bulk Data Load Jobs or Jobs | Bulk Data Load Jobs. Click on the Job ID to view the job detail page. The job detail page includes a related list of all the batches for the job. The related list provides View Request and View Response links for each batch. If the batch is a CSV file, the links return the request or response in CSV format. If the batch is an XML file, the links return the request or response in XML format.
