I using Data Loader CLI v50 and enable Bulk API to upload files to ContentVersion to my sandbox Salesforce.  
 
I got the following error:

Please advice.

I decreased the batch_size from 2000 to 100. It worked for 900 records then failed. I wanted to process for 12.691 records. Please advise.
Tien Tran 29Tien Tran 29
I also test with batch_size = 10. Then I got 987 success and 3 errors. After that, the number of batches failed kept increasing until I got the same error and exception as above. Not sure what proper settings to upload a huge amount of files to Salesforce, :(

Hi Tien,

This might be related to max overall size the bulk upload API can handle at any given time. Larger individual attachments to upload will require smaller batch sizes try to set the batch size limit to 1 and check.

Hi Vinay,

Thanks for your answer. I tried batch_size = 1, it runs for a while, then got many failed.

For someone who encounters issues like me. Here is the suggestion: Use SOAP API for ContentVersion (disable BulkAPI) because BulkAPI has many limits:

- You have to enable bulkApiZipContent, then
- The length of any file name can't exceed 512 bytes
- A zip file can't exceed 10 MB
- A maximum of 1,000 files can be contained in a zip file. It means you have to split your data into multiple CSV files
- The total size of the unzipped content can't exceed 20 MB

Note: Even when you use SOAP API, the limit size for a request is 52MB. So you have to decrease your batch size if you get this error "'Maximum size of request reached' when you import Attachment or Content"

Also, if you are testing in sandbox env, the default limit for the number of published content is 2500 / 24hours. You need to contact Salesforce support to increase this limit.

Hope it helps.

Thank you so much for providing the complete comprehensive answer. As I tried it for welding review (https://welderchoice.com/best-passive-welding-helmet/) batch_size=1 which is working properly. Although some time it shows bugs but after restoring the basic and cleaning the extra caches. It start working.
