Hi all,

 

I'm trying to create a job to update account data via the bulk API. I could create the job and the batch ok, however i continuously get an error when the batch tries to run: it keeps telling me that the salesforce id field available in the CSV file, whatever the way i named it:

 

I've tried Id, RecordId, id (in lower case), AccountNumber and for all 4 tentatives, i got the same error message.

 

I need to be able to mass-update data using the salesforce id (the data i've got was pulled out of salesforce with the SOAP API, retaining the field names the way they are provided by the SOAP API) and can't rely on external id (i'll be always pulling out data from salesforce first, therefore i'll have the salesforce id).

 

I've been struggling on this error since beginning of the week, unable to find relevant information on using salesforce id in bulk API update specifically. I would be really grateful if someone could help.

 

Thx in advance

    I ran into the same error while performing an Update using Bulk API.  I re-ordered the columns and the problem went away.  In my case it was a custom column that could not be found.  Even when I tried it through data loader it wouldn't automatically map.
