stephanie_z How to escape a string in the query passed to data loader command line tool
Hi,
I am using the data loader command line tool to extract data out. For one object, I only want to extract data that meets certain criteria. How do I specifiy a string value in the sfdc.entity field?
$JAVA_HOME/jre/bin/java -cp $FILE_BASEDIR/DataLoader.jar \
-Djava.io.tmpdir=$LOGDIR -Dsalesforce.config.dir=$FILE_BASEDIR/config \
com.salesforce.dataloader.process.ProcessRunner process.name=extract \
process.lastRunOutputDirectory=$LOGDIR \
process.statusOutputDirectory=$LOGDIR \
dataAccess.name=$DATADIR/$STAMPFOLDER/57_Standard_kav_01.csv \
sfdc.entity=Standard__kav \
sfdc.extractionSOQL="select ID,Title,Summary from Standard__kav where PublishStatus=\'Online\'"
I am gettingan empty query error
2012-02-14 15:38:54,306 ERROR [extract] action.ExtractAction getColumnsFromSoql (ExtractAction.java:235) - Error in query: query is empty
2012-02-14 15:38:54,307 ERROR [extract] progress.NihilistProgressAdapter doneError (NihilistProgressAdapter.java:51) - Error in query: query is empty
I was able to extract data with the same set up for those that don';t have the where clause.
Does anyone know how to escape the string value in the where clause?
query empty error will generally come if the respective column values are null for the records....
I supply the query as an argument in the command line since I need to query by different timestamp, e.g.
sfdc.extractionSOQL="Select Id, KnowledgeArticleId, OwnerId, IsDeleted, PublishStatus, CreatedDate, CreatedById, LastModifiedDate, LastModifiedById,SystemModstamp,IsMasterLanguage, Language, Title, Summary, ArticleNumber, FirstPublishedDate, LastPublishedDate, IsOutOfDate, MasterVersionId, Allow_Votes__c, Answer_Type__c, Keywords__c, Language__c, Locale__c, Need_Translation__c, Play_Button__c FROM Standard__kav WHERE PublishStatus='Online' and Language='en_US' and ((SystemModstamp < 2012-02-14T13:42:51.000z and SystemModstamp > 2011-02-17T00:51:21.000Z) or SystemModstamp In (2012-02-14T13:42:51.000z)) "
I read somewhere that there is a BUG in the Data Loader CLI that does not permit a "=" in the query or it will not
override the query in the "./config/process-conf.xml" when the object extraction begins. All queries that normally use an "=" in the where clause must be modified to use the "in" keyword instead.
However, Standard__kav object is kind of special and require us to supply "PublishStatus=..." in the WHERE clause. Is there anyway to have "=" in sfdc.extractionSOQL argument? I tried to use escape it with \ and it didn't seem to work.
