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.
The Data Loader command-line interface is supported for Windows only.
If you’re batch mode from the command line with a version earlier than 8.0, upgrade your batch mode interface.
