Retrieve and process failed records from a Salesforce Bulk API 2.0 ingest job

Verified steps

  1. After a Bulk API 2.0 ingest job reaches JobComplete, inspect the job record's numberRecordsFailed field via GET /services/data/vXX.0/jobs/ingest/{jobId}
  2. Fetch the failed-record CSV via GET /services/data/vXX.0/jobs/ingest/{jobId}/failedResults — response is CSV with sf__Error and sf__Id columns prepended
  3. Parse sf__Error per row to categorize failures: field-validation errors, duplicate-rule blocks, required-field violations, or record-lock timeouts
  4. For lock-timeout errors (UNABLE_TO_LOCK_ROW), extract those record IDs and queue them for a separate retry job submitted during low-activity hours
  5. For validation or missing-field errors, route the failed CSV rows to a remediation queue (e.g., a Salesforce custom object or external database) for human review
  6. Fetch the unprocessed-records CSV via /unprocessedResults to capture rows the job never attempted, then decide whether to resubmit or discard
