Insert Case Comments from CSV File

HI,

I have a CSV file which contains both case and case comments. I want to insert both into Salesforce and i need to automate this process to run everyday. I need a parent ID to insert Case Comments which i dont have in my CSV.

Is there a way fullfill my requirement without using Java program?

Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh,
If you don't want to use any JAVA/ .Net program you could look into automating data-loader using command line. This link elaborates with example on how to do it.

Mark this as best answer if you find the solution.

Hi,

I am using Data Loader only. I can insert a case. But how can i insert Case comments? because it requires a parent id(id of the case)

Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I do not have parent ID of case in my CSV file. I need to export the data to get parent id. If I do that I will have 2 CSVs and merging the CSVs will become a manual process.

Thanks,
Ganesh
