I have a csv file with ~1.1m rows, 6 columns, and one of those columns contains the customerr ID that matches to an indexed, unique, external ID field on Account in Salesforce. I can successfully run the first phase of the Import wizard, select Upsert, Bulk API, map the fields, add a constant, and even get through to the Preview step successfully. But then, when I select the Import Records button on the next page, it tries for a while and fails with "An unexpected error occurred." Running DT v.5.29.0
As a test, I used the Select a Subset feature which works great:
- 10 records successfully imported in about 5 seconds
- 10,000 records imported in about 10 seconds
- 100,000 records imported in about 3 minutes
- 500,000 records fail
- all 1.1m records fail
So, I'm wondering if I should simply set my expectations lower and accept 100k as a reasonable limit or if there's some other tricks that others recommend I try.
