I had this article in my list for long time and today i got chance to share with you all. Data Loader is great native tool provide by the Salesforce to insert, upsert, update, export and delete data. Standard Data Loader wizard needs interaction however there are many scenarios where we need to perform these data loading tasks repeatedly like every night 1:00 AM (Nightly Services) or something. So, for these situations we can use standard data loader tool from Command line.
In this article, i will explain in detail on how to use Data Loader from command line.
The most important part of setting up Command line Data loader is to generate the encrypted password using utility provided by the Data Loader.
This directory contains two utility batch file : “encrypt.bat” and “process.bat”
Navigate to “Program Files | Data Loader | bin” in command prompt and run command.
encrypt.bat –g YOURSECRETKEY
The secrete key provided can be anything of your choice. Copy the generated Text highlighted in White color and paste in new file “Key.txt“.
Now run again above command to generated encrypted password with following command:
encrypt.bat -e password "C:Users\shiva\Desktop\Data Loader Documents\Try\Key.txt"
Now, note this password somewhere, as it is going to be used in remaining part of configuration.
Make sure that password generated is correct by checking below command, it will say password Matched or not :
encrypt.bat -v generatedPassword actualPassword secretKeyFilePath
If you are using proxy server and it uses the password, then repeat same step for generating encrypted password.
Additionaly, if we type only encrypt.bat without any parameter, it will show all the available options with help text.
Create file – “config.properties”:
This file contains all the common configurations settings like UserName, encrypted password. This file can also be kept as blank however it is good practice to write all common configurations in this file. Keys in this file will be same as of “Process-config.xml” as described at the end of this article.
Example:
#Loader Config #Wed Sep 19 2012 sfdc.debugMessages=true process.encryptionKeyFile=C:\Users\shiva\Desktop\Data Loader Documents\Try\Key.txt sfdc.debugMessagesFile = C:\Users\shiva\Desktop\Data Loader Documents\Try\AccountExport.log sfdc.endpoint=https://login.salesforce.com sfdc.username=ilovenagpur@gmail.com sfdc.password=7b5693f0cad856dc778d4b8506f2c976 sfdc.proxyUsername=proxyUserName sfdc.proxyPassword=encrypytesPassword sfdc.proxyHost=proxyhostName sfdc.proxyPort=123 sfdc.loadBatchSize=200 sfdc.timeoutSecs=600
Create file – “process-conf.xml” :
This file contains all the information regarding import or export. In this article I am exporting the Account data, so sample file is
<!DOCTYPE beans PUBLIC "-//SPRING//DTD BEAN//EN" "http://www.springframework.org/dtd/spring-beans.dtd"> <beans> <bean id="Account" class="com.salesforce.dataloader.process.ProcessRunner" singleton="false"> <description>Export Account Data</description> <property name="name" value="Account"/> <property name="configOverrideMap"> <map> <entry key="sfdc.enableLastRunOutput" value="false"/> <entry key="sfdc.entity" value="Account"/> <entry key="process.operation" value="extract"/> <entry key="sfdc.extractionRequestSize" value="500"/> <entry key="sfdc.extractionSOQL" value="SELECT Id FROM Account"/> <entry key="dataAccess.name" value="D:\Data Load\Seed Data\Jit\Production - 16 Aug 12AccountExport.csv"/> <entry key="dataAccess.type" value="csvWrite"/> <entry key="dataAccess.writeUTF8" value="true" /> </map> </property> </bean> </beans>
At the end of this article, you can see the description of all parameters. Assuming that we are inside the bin folder of dataloader then run below Command:
Process.bat "directory path where we have file process-config.xml" process Name
In our case the process name is Account, process name is nothing but the property “name”.
After running the above command your data will be exported in file provided in configuration “process-config.xml” file.
While working with command line dataloader, there are chances that you get few error. So i am also inclusing few common error and there solutions:
Error 1:
Dataloader error: “javax.crypto.BadPaddingException:”Or error loading parameter of sfdc.password
Solution :
Add “process.encryptionKeyFile=C:\Users\315447\Desktop\Data Loader\key.txt” Either in “config.properties” or “process-conf.xml”
<entry key="process.encryptionKeyFile" value="config/key.txt"/>
Error 2:
Error in query: query is empty
Solution:
Occurs, If “sfdc.extractionSOQL” key in beans node does not have valid SOQL.
Parameters for Process-config.xml:

Hi, I am trying to connect to a MS Access DB using dataloader, but having difficulties with it. Do you have a database-conf.xml file which has the proper setting for an MS Access connection?
Do you have a JDBC driver for MS Access?
where to save process-conf.xml.
In same folder where you have config.properties file
Hai,,,when am running Process.bat file ,,,,i am getting this error ,,please help to solve this problem…it is taking process-conf.xml file 2 times in path when am running and showing File not found error…

Thanks in Advance..
I am also getting same error….path not found…..oops!
Can you check that config files in proper directory ?
maybe change all the pathes like:
//computername/c$/path…..
worked for me with the Data Loader Batch downloaded in May 2015 from salesforce.com
Am I correct in assuming the v27.0.1 (and possibly other versions) require that the config.properties files doe snot contain path names?
Hi Jitendra , need to know how to insertupsert detail object records using parent object external id , using command line data loader . I tried doing that and getting error :
Field name provided, Ext_id__c does not match an External ID for childobject__c
I’m a little confused why the error suggests the external Id is on the “Childobject” object.
Hi Jitendra,
I was facing Error 1: Dataloader error: “javax.crypto.BadPaddingException when trying to run the batch through Data loader CLI.
The resolution mentioned by you worked and now it is running fine after adding “process.encryptionKeyFile” reference in my process-config.xml file.
But earlier I do not had to add that reference in my XML file and it used to work just fine so i want to know that why do I had to add it this time around. Please let me know the root cause of this issue.
It is very important for me and any help on this would be appreciated.
Hi Arpit,
Not sure how it worked previously, it happened to me also. I also started getting this error and once i resolved it, this article was updated. I am glad it helped you. I guess may be because of Dataloader jar file update.

Hi sourabh, is it everytime or occasionally?
Hi,
“Error loading parameter: sfdc.password of type: java.lang.String”
I don’t understand, i have copied the whole config.properties.
I have tested my encrypted passwords with encrypt.bat -v generatedPassword secretKey
I must say that if i don’t use config.properties but only process-conf.xml with the goods parameters It works…
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks !
Can you confirm your Path ?
Hello everybody!
@JitendraZaa:disqus, how can I create a .bat file to run 5000k select queries in dataloder cliq?
I have a list (excel) with the 5000k queries but now I need to create a process to run this 5000 queries at once.
Can you please help me?
Thank You very much in advance,
Ricardo.
it 5000k queries or records ?
5000k queries
Wow.. I am not sure what is your business justification. But you can use ANT to iterate 5000k times to your Dataloader command and execute one after another, However be ready that it may take days to execute depending on your data. You can refer this article to know how to use ANT with dataloader : https://www.jitendrazaa.com/blog/salesforce/automate-command-line-dataloader-using-ant-with-dynamic-arguments-and-query/
Thank you.
Yes, I know that it will take a long time, bur it is only a sample (100 rows for each 5000 fields).
Is it something like this?:
target name=”all”>
96 ”
100 userName=”${sf.prod.profileName.username}”
101 password=”${sf.prod.profileName.password}”
102 serverURL=”${sfProd.serverurl}”
103 batchSize=”200″
104 limit = “1000” />
Thats right, kinda this. ANT is very powerful and you can plug bits and pieces of ANT and dataloader together to achieve your solution.
Thank You.
Ricardo

Hi Chris,
Format of XML file “process-conf.xml” is not correct or is not expected. Please check if this XML is in correct format.
hi Jitendra,
i too have the same issue running in my system. i tried with the proper XML format but still it is throwing the same exception. Is there any work around for that?
Can you check path for key file is correct with folder + file name. There may be multiple of reasons of this.
Hi All,
I have a question, How do you get to know that process is complete?
I have scheduled a bat file to insert various sObject’s data daily but how do i know that process is complete
You can take help of ANT tasks. Use Dataloader from ANT and you can use various ANT tasks like send email. This article may give you heads up on using Dataloader and ANT together, https://www.jitendrazaa.com/blog/salesforce/using-dataloader-and-ant-to-backup-salesforce-data-on-ftp-server-video/
Hi All,
I am getting following error while executing
C:Program Files (x86)salesforce.comData Loaderbin>encrypt.bat -v c95b705b441a10edf25aee16fafb5fd1 test

Above command seems you try to check if generated password is correct with secret key “test”, Can you check your key file has any space or something. If you follow all steps it should work. Also, make sure there are no unused files in directory, sometimes it conflicts.
Did you find a solution to this problem?

Can i use the Data Loader command line, if i have those files available on the shared netwrok ? for the upload on the salesforce ?
Let me Explain the whole scenario :
One of the Application is generating two files and those files are saved on the shared netwrok of the client, prior it was a manual process using data loader we were able to upload the records on the salesforce but now we want to automate the whole process can i use the Data Loader CLI to automate it. is it going to fetch those files from the shared netwrok ? if yes how it will gonna work ? Please explain . Thanks .
Yes its possible, Solution available here – https://www.jitendrazaa.com/blog/salesforce/using-dataloader-and-ant-to-backup-salesforce-data-on-ftp-server-video/
Can we run data loader on Linux server?
I didn’t tried, but should run because its java app
When encrypting the password, is it just your password alone, or is it the combination of password/security key that Data Loader requires when using the GUI?
Hi Jitendra,
I wanted to send an email to certain ppl with the failed record count in automated command line data loader process? Will it be possible to do it using Ant?
@JitendraZaa:disqus: Just to add, CLIq will be the great add on to above process and it make the process UI friendly.
Can you highlight some cases which cannot be done by CLIq because of which we need to come to basic config of CLI?
Hey Merul, can you post URL of CLIq ? Have not heard about it and thanks for letting me know
Hi Jitendra ,
Where do we add the proxy password. Is it in the same key file as the sfdc password or is there a separate file which we need to create ?
It needs to be in “config.properties”. check line 9-10 in this post.
I am There on this Step when using the DAta Laoder CLI bt what is the Next Steps?
Please Guide me/
encrypt.bat -v generatedPassword secretKey
Hi Jitendra,
thank you for sharing this excellent article which greatly helped me in building a data integrations for one of my clients. However when the password has been reset for the salesforce account that I was using to sign in, I am unable to encrypt it properly again. I am getting an error while checking the encrypted string stating “Given final block not properly padded”.
I have followed all the steps given here almost 10 times now. I can share the details if required.
Could you please help?
Thank you.
Hi Gaurav,
I would suggest to delete all files from folder and create fresh key file, fresh config, it should fix your issue
Thanks Jitendra, it did help in resolving the issue. Though this is a strange way.
HI Jitendra
As suggested, I followed the same steps, but still facing the same issue. Could you please help me in its resolution since I have a very close go-live date.
Resolution steps I tried:
1. Creating New Folder and New File for Key file.
2. Uninstalling and re-installing Data Loader.
Waiting in anticipation.
Can you help with a Data Loader problem?
Excellent Article,
was able to troubleshoot my issue thanks to your sound advise
Hi Jitendra, very helpful article.
I would like to create a process to extract data from a custom object and I would like to schedule this to run 1st of every month. I would basically like to extract last year’s last months data. For example, if the job runs on July 1st, 2017, I want to extract records that were created in June, 2016. Could you please help me with the SOQL for this? Thank you!
Hi Chandra,
Were you able to achieve this by anyways, if you did, please can you share the approach you have taken to get his run automatically. Also, were you saving the extracts somewhere on SFTP?
Hi Jitendra,
I am using CLI for data loader version 40. When i am giving encrypt.bat -g key.txt it is giving me an error that “The system path is not specified.” Can you please guide me what could be the possible reason for the same. I have checked my java and it is installed correctly and working fine.
Thanks in advance.
Pankaj
last parameter needs to be string and not path. can you confirm ?
Hi Jitendra,
Can you tell me if I can give and SFTP location to save the extracted file under process-conf.xml file?
Also, does task scheduler help to run these batch jobs nightly. is it possible?

Hi Jitendra, is there a way to specify a parameter for folder name where the file will be created?
e.g. {$FolderPath}\Account.csv
How can I pass a folder path?
Thanks
Tried the above, apparently i got a message that I need the Salesforce token as well
ERROR [sf_existing_orgs] client.PartnerClient runOperation (PartnerClient.java:332) – Error while calling web service operation: login, error was:

Hi Jitendra,
Thanks for such an elaborative posts. However, i am facing a situation now. I am trying to upsert data and have everything setup but when i ran the file, i am getting an error called “Attribute value “EventReg__c” of type ID must be unique within the document. when it said document, i assume the file that has my records, so for this i only have three records which have all unique value, i am not getting where i went wrong, can you please help.
Thanks,
Raj
Hi Jitendra,
I allowed the above steps and everything went smooth except for one issue the object into which i am trying to insert data there is only one required field on the layout and i gave that but yet it is still throwing an error saying one required field missing. I went back on salesforce end and checked why it is blocking, there is a ‘Name’ Auto Number required field, but since it is auto number we do not have to explicitly specify it right it should automatically append when it inserts the record right. I did the same through data loader applications and it successfully passed through, but with cmd it is not can anyone help with this.
Thanks.
