Previously, Data Load API returned a single data load exception. From this release onwards, you can obtain the first 100 exceptions in the consolidated list of exceptions.

Data Load API will have optional parameters to send success and failure notifications via email. Use notifications tags along with email address for success/failure status during data load process. An email is sent to all email addresses provided within the tags.

Below is code sample format provided which you can use when you use Data Load API.

<notify-on-success>
<email>Provide email identifier </email>
<email>Provide email identifier</email>
</notify-on-success>
<notify-on-failure>
<email>Provide email identifier</email>
<email>Provide email identifier</email>
</notify-on-failure>

Note:

To send notifications you do not require an email connector.

Note:

To send notifications you must have a valid email identifier.

For a complete example see Notifications for Data Load.
