Source (Working Copy) CSV Files in SFDMU.

When CSV files are set as a data source, SFDMU analyzes and attempts to repair the provided raw source CSV files. After processing, the final versions are stored in a special directory. These processed files become the working copies, which are then used to import data into the target organization.

You can examine these files in the source subdirectory, located in the same directory as the export.json file, to understand how SFDMU processes your CSVs.

Notes:

  • Each file is appended with the postfix _source, for example, Account_source.csv.

  • If multiple Object Sets are used, the sources for the first Object Set are placed in the main source subdirectory. The sources for subsequent Object Sets, starting from Object Set #2, are stored in their respective directories, for example, source/object-set-2/Account_source.csv, relative to where the export.json file sits.

Example of working folder structure:

|- export.json
|- source/
   |- Account_source.csv
   |- Contact_source.csv
   |- ...
   |- object-set-2/
      |- Account_source.csv
      |- Contact_source.csv
      |- ...
   |- object-set-3/
      |- Account_source.csv
      |- Contact_source.csv
      |- ...
   |- ...
