I uploaded a .csv file with 50000 rows to the Salesforce Workbench to update a custom field in Opportunities. For most records I got the error
Too many lock failure 200 Trying again later.
I tried the same in the Data Loader, and it worked fine.
Although my update succeeded, I would like to understand what the difference is between the Workbench and the Data Loader. In the Workbench the checkbox Process records asynchronously via Bulk API
was ticked and I left it ticked. I thought the Data Loader is another Bulk API client. What could be the reason why they behave differently? Is there a general difference between the Data Loader update and the Workbench update with the Bulk API checkbox ticked?
