External IDs Require Manual Configuration

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Configure CLIq using an operation using an External Id
2. Run the script.
3. No records will be updated.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Prompt the user for External ID fields and update the sfdc.externalIdField 
parameter in process-conf.xml

Vijay,

Thanks for pointing this out - big help.

Here are the steps to help others:
My Upserts were not inserting records into SFDC.  The sdl.log file indicated 
the 
following error:

2010-05-13 16:19:15,115 ERROR [UpsertTTLRecords] 
progress.NihilistProgressAdapter 
doneError (NihilistProgressAdapter.java:51) - Field name provided,  does not 
match 
an External ID for Lead

I manually added the following line to my process-conf.xml file:
<entry key="sfdc.externalIdField" value="TTL_ID__c"/>

Upserts now work well.  Thanks a lot, Vijay.

Hi!,

I'm using this tool to schedule upserts to Salesforce.

I have exactly the same problem as described above, but with Products. Seems 
this fix doesn't work, i don't know if it's because TTL_ID__c is related 
somehow with Leads object. 

Can you explain your fixes, and, if it's possible any solution for this.
