Validation When Deleting Records Using Import Management

When deleting records using the import management UI, you will see a new confirmation dialog to confirm your intent to delete records. In addition, when using the external data loader client (EDLC), you cannot pass mode=DELETE_RECORD in the configuration file. Instead, you need to pass the mode=DELETE_RECORD as a command line parameter.

When using the import management UI, the new confirmation message reduces the probability of deleting records by mistake. Similarly, it is much harder to delete records by mistake using the EDLC because the mode=DELETE_RECORD in the configuration file is no longer honored. You have to pass the mode explicitly as a command line parameter.

Tips And Considerations

If you have the mode=DELETE_RECORD parameter in your configuration file, you must update your process to pass this parameter via the command line parameter.
