Date Issue while Command Line interface data loasder is using.date decreasing by -1 in SF

<entry key="process.useEuropeanDates" value="true"/>
<entry key="sfdc.timeZone" value="India Standard Time (Asia/Calcutta)"/>

 

Even i included the above two points in Process-config.xml, date is decreasing by minus one when the record is inserting in Salesforce.

 

Please suggest, how to insert correct date while command line interface is using.

Atlast i got solution,

 

For Date field :

 

if the date is 06-02-2013 we have to maintain "2013-02-06T00:00:00.00Z" in .CSV file, so that we can avoid decreasing the date by -1 while inserting in salesforce.

 

For DateTime Field:

 

we need give YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSGMT+5:30

Example: If  the date is 04-03-2013and time is 2.30Pm We have to maintain 2013-03-04T14:30:00GMT+5:30

Hi, Thanks for your quick response. When i am trying to save that particular date column in YYYY/MM/DD, it was not saving in that manner. Even i have by using format cells, if i closed the csv file and opened again, it was in previous format(mm/dd/yyyy). now i got "BookingDate: invalid date: Fri Sep 09 00:00:00 GMT 180" error when i tried to import data using command line interface how to overcome..please suggest. Thanks in Advance Karthik

Please check any TRIGGERS defined on the object which are doing field update action.

Triggers in the sense may be Workflow Rule with FieldUpdate action.

 

1.   confirm whether field is Date type (or)  DateTime type.

2. Please see any Workflow rule is triggered and doing Field Update Action.

When we use data loader we gives date format in YYYY/MM/DD format, although when you will see date on your view page it will come as DD/MM/YYYY format.

Do one thing create one dummy reocrd in database, and access this record through work banch, and put time zone according to that.
