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. Note that paths specified within these files must use UNIX-style forward slashes.
