Configure Batch Processes

Use \samples\conf\process-conf.xml to configure your Data Loader processes, which are represented by ProcessRunner beans. A process should have ProcessRunner as the class attribute and the following properties set in the configuration file:

name

Sets the name of the ProcessRunner bean. This value is also used as the non-generic thread name and for configuration backing files (see below).

configOverrideMap

A property of type map where each entry represents a configuration setting: the key is the setting name; the value is the setting value.

enableLastRunOutput

If set to true (the default), output files containing information about the last run, such as sendAccountsFile_lastrun.properties, are generated and saved to the location specified by lastRunOutputDirectory. If set to false, the files are not generated or saved.

lastRunOutputDirectory

The directory location where output files containing information about the last run, such as sendAccountsFile_lastrun.properties, are written. The default value is \conf. If enableLastRunOutput is set to false, this value is not used because the files are not generated.

The configuration backing file stores configuration parameter values from the last run for debugging purposes, and is used to load default configuration parameters in config.properties. The settings in configOverrideMap take precedence over those in the configuration backing file. The configuration backing file is managed programmatically and does not require any manual edits.
