symantecAP Hi All
Here is my question . If we are inserting Users in Salesforce with all mandatory fields then how is the password generated. Can we have our desired password and insert the Users.
Second question : How do we delete users in through Data Loader.
and how do I schedule the Data Loader?
1) They have a random password assigned. I believe that the system ordinarily sends an email with the new password on creation of the user account. If you have a custom integration, you can call setPassword on the user to manually set a password, but the Apex Data Loader does not have this functionality.
2) You can't delete a user. To remove a user's access, uncheck the Active checkbox (IsActive in the Apex Data Loader). You can't deactivate yourself, and you must be an administrator to perform this action. Your license usage is based on the number of active users-- there may be any number of inactive users, none of which count against your organization's license limit. Salesforce.com (at least, when I worked there) recommends that you never "recycle" a user. Even though it may be tempting to just change the username, email, and display name, you will help to confuse the audit trails, making it hard to tell at a glance what the new user has done versus the old user.
3) To schedule the Apex Data Loader, you would read the CLI documentation. Scheduling is dependent on your operating system. Windows uses Task Scheduler, Linux uses cron. You can also use tanuki (a Java wrapper framework) to write a Java-based service, which in turn can invoke the various parts of the Apex Data Loader (this is an advanced technique).
