Data Loader Guide
jNote: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.
Run in Batch Mode (Windows Only)
You can run Data Loader in batch mode from the Windows command line. Batch mode runs a
series of Data Loader processes in a certain order using a batch file. You can rerun the same
sequence of processes using an executable .bat file.
| Available in: both Salesforce Classic (not available in all orgs) and Lightning Experience |
| Available in: Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer editions |
We recommend that you set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to the directory where Zulu OpenJDK is installed. Doing so ensures that you can run Data Loader in batch mode from the command line.
