How do I call process.bat and pass parameters like process_name and path to process-conf.xml file from another .bat file

Hi, if you are creating the batch file, you will need to call a process through Java similar to the way it is done in the file process.bat.

Note that all the paths need to be specified.

Here is the format I used:

@ECHO OFF

SET YourDataLoaderDirectory=where your data loader is sitting
SET CONFIGPATH=%YourDataLoaderDirectory%\conf
SET javaCmd=%YourDataLoaderDirectory%\_jvm\bin\java.exe
SET jarFile=%YourDataLoaderDirectory%\DataLoader.jar

%javaCmd% -cp %jarFile% -Dsalesforce.config.dir=%CONFIGPATH% com.salesforce.dataloader.process.ProcessRunner process.name=YourProcess > where you want to put your log file

@ECHO ON

Also, if you are using DataLoader version less than 17, use

com.salesforce.lexiloader.process.ProcessRunner

command.

I have put in the path...but it still gives me a error

@ECHO OFF

SET YourDataLoaderDirectory= "Y:\salesforce.com\Apex Data Loader 18.0"
SET CONFIGPATH=%Y:\salesforce.com\Apex Data Loader 18.0%\conf
SET javaCmd=%Y:\salesforce.com\Apex Data Loader 18.0%\_jvm\bin\java.exe
SET jarFile=%Y:\salesforce.com\Apex Data Loader 18.0%\DataLoader.jar

%javaCmd% -cp %jarFile% -Dsalesforce.config.dir=%CONFIGPATH% com.salesforce.dataloader.process.ProcessRunner process.name=csvExportLeads

@ECHO ON

Error Message:

Y:\salesforce.com\Apex Data Loader 18.0\Lead_Insert_To_SFDC>Autoloadleads.bat
'\salesforce.com\Apex' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Leave %YourDataLoaderDirectory% as it is in the definition of variables 2-4 - these variables use the YourDataLoader  path defined in the first line.

In other words:

@ECHO OFF

SET YourDataLoaderDirectory="Y:\salesforce.com\Apex Data Loader 18.0"
SET CONFIGPATH=%YourDataLoaderDirectory%\conf
SET javaCmd=%YourDataLoaderDirectory%\_jvm\bin\java.exe
SET jarFile=%YourDataLoaderDirectory%\DataLoader.jar

%javaCmd% -cp %jarFile% -Dsalesforce.config.dir=%CONFIGPATH% com.salesforce.dataloader.process.ProcessRunner process.name=YourProcess > where you want to put your log file

@ECHO ON
