Using dataloader from the command line, I'm trying to override the property-value pair I've specified in the process-conf.xml with that specified on the command line.
I'm hoping to get this to work as described in the section Property value interactions in this dataloader documentation https://developer.salesforce.com/page/Using_Data_Loader_from_the_command_line - which states
Any property-value pairs included as part of the command line are used in place of any other specifications in the other files.
The details:
In the process-conf.xml I have the following property-value pair specified:
entry key="dataAccess.name" value="D:\Batch\Salesforce\Data\DataToSF\Store__c.csv"
When I run dataloader from the command line as follows this works as expected and loads data from the Store__c.csv:
cmd> process.bat D:\Batch\Salesforce\DataLoaderConfig Upsert_Store__c
However if I then rename the csv to be Store__c_20160702.csv and try to load the file using the following command (i.e. including the additional parameter which I expect to override the dataAccess.name property-value pair specified in the process-conf.xml):
cmd> process.bat D:\Batch\Salesforce\DataLoaderConfig Upsert_Store__c dataAccess.name=D:\Batch\Salesforce\Data\DataToSF\Store__c_20160702.csv
It still looks for Store__c.csv (apparently still wanting to use the value in the process-conf.xml) and not the Store__c_20160702.csv which I've specified on the command line.
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong - is the syntax on the command line incorrect or is something else wrong with what I'm trying to do?
For those interested the requirement here is essentially to process files with a datetime suffix from a powershell script calling dataloader - and hence want to be able to parse the filename as an argument to the dataloader command (rather than using the filename hard-coded in process-conf.xml)
Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help with this. I've had a good search on google, but to no avail as yet.
