The InsightsExternalDataPart Object

The InsightsExternalDataPart object enables you to upload an external data file that has been split into parts.

The InsightsExternalDataPart object works with the InsightsExternalData object. After you insert a row into the InsightsExternalData object, you can create part objects to split up your data into parts. If your initial data file is larger than 10 MB, split your file into parts that are smaller than 10 MB.

The standard system fields (CreatedById, CreatedDate, LastModifiedById, LastModifiedDate, and SystemModstamp) are documented in System Fields in the Salesforce Object Reference.

Note

The InsightsExternalDataPart object is available in API version 31 and later.

Supported Calls

create(), delete(), describeSObjects(), query(), retrieve(), update(), upsert()
