bulkLoad.properties file

The bulkLoad.properties file specifies the predefined bulk costing inputs required by the bulkLoad.cmd command.

aPriori provides a sample file named bulkLoadTemplate.properties at install\ext\analysis-purchasing-module\command-line\

Note that paths specified within this file must use UNIX-style forward slashes. In addition, you can add entries from the apriori.properties and the bulk loader plugin.properties (see below) which will override the values set in those files.
