	Document	Min: 0 Max: 1	Mapper Salesforce Poller	A document that contains Map data with these elements: Job ID, Batch ID, URL, and an array of records if it is in Bulk API mode. If it is executed in REST API mode, each document contains Map data for the ID of the created record and input data.

Batch size

String/Expression

None

In Bulk API, this property value is allowed to be from 1 through 10,000. Each input document forms one Salesforce record to be inserted. The Snap stores records in memory until the number of records reaches the batch size and sends the request to SFDC in a single batch. Increasing the batch size increases the amount of memory used during the data load. Decreasing the batch size increases the number of API calls against Salesforce.

In REST API, the Snap can insert only one record per each request regardless of the value of the Batch size property.

Default Value: 200
Example: 200, 10000

NoteValidation always uses the REST API.
