What are the file-size limits for import?
You can import a maximum of 50,000 records per data file. This limit is applicable for files imported using the User Interface and the REST service (low-volume). The size of the data file can't exceed 250 MB.
You can submit multiple jobs at one time. The application dynamically calculates the number of jobs that will run parallelly at a time. All other jobs are queued and executed as and when the previous jobs complete.
To import much higher volumes of data, you must use
the External Data Loader Client (EDLC
). EDLC
accepts files with more than
50,000 records. It breaks these larger files into smaller pieces of
50,000 each and imports them. Using the high-volume mode of EDLC,
you can split and import in pieces of 500,000 records each.
