Configuring Chunking Options for Backup Operations

If a Salesforce object is large and requires additional time to process, you can enable automatic primary key (PK) chunking and set the chunk size. The chunking options apply to the Bulk API interface that is used for full backup operations. Chunking does not apply to incremental back up operations or to Salesforce objects that do not support bulk query jobs.

You can set chunking for objects that support Salesforce PK chunking, and you can also set chunking for objects that Salesforce does not support. For information about Salesforce PK chunking, go to PK Chunking Header, on the Salesforce Bulk API Developer Guide website.

Procedure

• Enable automatic PK chunking and set the chunk size:

  • For objects that support Salesforce PK chunking, to the client computer, add the additional setting as shown in the following table.
