Problem updating empty string using componenet "tSalesforceOutputBulk"
Hi, i am having trouble when an empty string comes in a .csv file. The thing is that the "tSalesforceOutputBulk" (see attached file) component puts a "#N/a" in the bulk file when a value is empty (see attached file), but doesn't do it for all the columns defined in the .csv.
Does anybody has an idea why this happens?
Hello,
I've experienced the same behavior. If you replace "" by null, this does not happen. Both methods worked at the end ('#N/a' string is not written in Salesforce), but the main difference in the result is:
- using "" the existing value of a field we're updating in Salesforce will not be overwritten (nulled out)
- using null, the existing value of a field we're updating in Salesforce will be overwritten (nulled out)

Hi, thank you for your responses. The thing is that have to process 7 delimited files (more than 150 columns in total). So when u say "replace "" by null", what is the best and fastest way to apply this for all the columns defined in the delimited files? I tried using the"default" propertie with "null" and "#N/A" in: tmap, TSalesforceOutputBulk and TSalesforceBulkExec). But it stills doesnt update a null value in Salesforce.
This is one of the files that i have to process.
