Settings in Data Loader

Start Data Loader by double click on the Data Loader icon and Choose Settings > Settings





Batch Size: In a single insert, update, upsert, or delete operation, records moving to or from Salesforce
are processed in increments of this size. The maximum value is 200. We recommend a value between 50
and 100. The maximum value is 10,000 if the Use Bulk API option is selected.

Insert null values: Check this checkbox to insert blank mapped values as null values during data
operations. Note that when we are updating records, this option instructs Data Loader to overwrite any
existing data in mapped fields.

Server host: Enter the URL of the Salesforce server with which we want to communicate. For example, if
you are loading data into a sandbox, change the URL to https://test.salesforce.com.
Once you enter the Organization, we need to give following settings (Mandatory)
1. Proxy Host
2. Proxy Port
3. Proxy Username
4. Proxy Password
Click on "OK" button
