jsforce: How to set pollTimeout for Bulk job using alternative api method?

these alternative methods were provided in the documentation for doing a bulk job, but it doesn’t say how to set the poll timeout option for these method.

conn.sobject("Account").insertBulk(accounts, function(err, rets) {
  // ...
});

conn.sobject("Account").bulkload("insert").execute(accounts, function(err, rets) {
  // ...
});

Here is a quick link to the docs: Bulk API

I’m getting a pollingTimeout error even though my job is very short. I would like to increase the pollTimeout using these methods.

Even with the polling timeout, the records are all successfully added to salesforce. I just have to go and check manually.

Thank you!

You can use the bulk object in the connection objet to change the polling timeout/interval of bulk API access.

var conn = new jsforce.Connection({ ... });
conn.bulk.pollInterval = 5000; // 5 sec
conn.bulk.pollTimeout = 60000; // 60 sec

Actually, SObject#insertBulk() or SObject#bulkload() is the shortcut to the conn.bulk.load().

Old but was related and still could use some clarification. I have a batch size of 5000 and this.connection.bulk.pollTimeout = 1800000 without any pollInterval set. I am getting a polling timeout error and wondering if I need to add a pollInterval variable as well and how would one know at what value to set the pollInterval?

Thanks

Can we get some explanation on this?
