Salesforce Bulk Service

Features

• Bulk upload CSV to Salesforce via a REST endpoint
• Monitor status of upload job
• Auto-retry on failure
• Supports proxy
• Swagger support, go to api/swagger.json

Running

You need to create salesforce.properties in api/src/main/resources.

It contains the following properties.

username=sfusername
password=sfpasswordwithtoken
type=sandbox

Optional parameters are proxyhost and proxyport which make calls to Salesforce via proxy. This is useful in production environments where all calls have to go through proxy for security reasons.

Direct

Do mvn install on the parent folder.

Go to api folder and run mvn package, copy the generated war file into jetty or tomcat.

Docker

Easier way to run is via Docker.

Building

docker build -t sbs .

Starting the server

docker run -p8080:8080 -it <container-id>

Using the service

An example curl call

curl -v -F file=@data.csv http://localhost:8080/api-1.0-SNAPSHOT/api/upload/SBS__c/insert

Where data.csv is the file that has data which is going to be inserted into a Salesforce object called SBS__c.

Another way is to generate client using swagger. You can find the swagger spec at http://localhost:8080/api-1.0-SNAPSHOT/api/swagger.json.
