Salesforce data export and import
This release introduces two major new features to the product: data export and data import. 🎉
These features let you export and import Salesforce record data quickly and easily — powered by the Salesforce Bulk API and Pub/Sub API for speed and scale. Export records by selecting objects and fields from a list, or write a custom SOQL query for full control. Import records using insert, update, upsert, delete and hard delete operations, with detailed per-record result files that make it easy to verify outcomes and troubleshoot failures.
These two features are just a first step in a bigger expansion into Salesforce data management features that we are doing this year. The data export and import features lay the technical foundation for this feature expansion, because they include much of the fundamentals, such as a very robust and extremely performant data query and ingestion engine, and the fastest Bulk API experience on the planet.
Data export and import operations support multiple file formats — CSV, JSON, Parquet and Excel — for both input and output. Files produced by an export can be fed directly into an import, making it straightforward to move data between Salesforce orgs. Unlike DevOps operations, data operations can target any Salesforce org you can authenticate to, whether or not it's configured as an environment in your stack. And because data operations run as jobs, you get the same real-time progress monitoring, job timeline, artifact downloads and job history that you're already familiar with from our DevOps operations.
Improvements
- Web: Improves display of timestamps on the timeline for jobs that run longer than 24 hours and/or cross over several days
- Adds retry handling (up to three retries) for intermittent GACK errors from Salesforce during metadata retrieval
