Use when designing or hardening external-to-Salesforce integrations that orchestrate Bulk API 2.0 ingest or query jobs: OAuth-backed job lifecycle, mandatory UploadComplete, polling JobComplete/Failed, CSV upload sizing, locator pagination for query results, partial-failure retry, and ordered multi-job loads (parent before child). Trigger keywords: bulk ingest job stuck in Open, retry only failed bulk rows, poll Bulk API 2 job status, Sforce-Locator pagination, multipart bulk ingest vs CSV upload. NOT for Bulk API 1.0 SOAP jobs (use data/bulk-api-patterns v1 sections), NOT for choosing batch vs real-time architecture alone (use integration/real-time-vs-batch-integration), NOT for low-level REST field/csv mechanics without integration context (use data/bulk-api-patterns).

This skill activates when an integration engineer, ETL author, or middleware developer must make a long-running Bulk API 2.0 pipeline reliable: not merely issue REST calls, but coordinate job creation, data upload, the mandatory close signal, asynchronous processing, result retrieval, and safe retries. Bulk API 2.0 is asynchronous; successful internal batches are not rolled back when other batches fail, so integration design must treat outcomes as per-record and per-batch, not as a single atomic transaction. That asymmetry drives most production incidents when teams assume “the job failed so…
