Megachuckmc Help on Apex Data Loader Error
Using Apex Data Loader 14.0 I get an error message trying to run from the CLI...
"Empty salesforce.com username specified."
The problem is that this worked before...!
Any clues as to where/what to look for would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mike,
I recently had a similar issue. In my scenario - I had been running a number of tests with different instances of the process-config.xml file.
During my tests - I had mistakenly renamed the file to "process-config_orig.xml" - without adding another process-config.xml file to the same "\conf" folder. So basically, the file no longer existed.
Instead of complaining about a missing file - it appears Data Loader started to run validation checks on the process-config.xml file - even though it was missing. The first validation check it ran - appears to have been the check for a valid salesforce.com username.
Hopefully this helps in your troubleshooting -e.g.) ensuring that all references to the file are correct and that the file is named correctly etc..
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks Brian!
That's exactly what I came up with. I was testing different scenarios and didn't properly rename a path in the config file. User error of course, but the error messaes were 'misleading' to say the least. anyway, all is working fine now.
Thanks again for your post. It's nice to know that someone out there is actually reading these posts :smileywink:

Great - glad to hear it.
I am actually in Salesforce.com Professional Services and have logged this with our Product Management - so hopefully we can add some more helpful error messages.
Thanks,
