The Ant tasks provided with Saada do not cover all use cases and especially all the possible setups of the data loader. It is however easy to build specific tasks for specific usages.

The best way to build user-defined Ant task is to start from the admintool. Most of the command panels have a button giving acces to an Ant task file doing the same operation with the same parameters.

The file can be downloaded and then reused

A task saved in a file named mytask.xml can be run with the following command :

% ant -f mytask.xml

The task named user.task is executed by default.

Different tasks can be put together in a single file to make easier their management. In this case, they must be renamed to avoid duplicate names. See the Ant doc to learn more.
