Jose María Nicolás Arfelis ANT
Hi all,
our client would like an automatic data load of .CSV files from an FTP site into Salesforce.
They are using LINUX.
Doing some research I found out that Apache ANT would be a good option for an automatic data load. We were suggesting first to use Jitterbit Cloud Data Loader, but our client (especifically the IT Team not specialized in Salesforce) doesn't want to invest time in updating UPSERT settings in Jitterbit. Jitterbit works in LINUX as well but the version for LINUX is not a free version.
First, as we don't have any shell scripting knowledge, just basic, have somebody here already used Apache ANT? Is Apache ANT free? how a script with command lines in it for our client to use it would look like?. How would this automation would look like?.
How can we test it? can we test it in a virtual machine? which one would you recommend it for LINUX?.
I would appreciate any help, tips.
