CLI Schedular

For automating an operation from Dataloader using Command-Line interface, you can follow these steps:

1. Run the process manually through the GUI. "Config.properties" file is available in
the ¡¥Application Data¡¦ folder (eg : C:\Documents and Settings\User folder \
Application Data\salesforce.com\Apex Data Loader version). This file is updated
every time Data Loader runs through the GUI.

2. Copy & paste this "Config.properties" file in a separate folder say:

C:\Documents and Settings\User folder \Desktop\Project.

3. Next, open a text editor like notepad and type the command line that you would
use to run the process eg :

process ¡§C:\Documents and Settings\User folder \Desktop\Project¡¨
