Use the Designer to import Salesforce source and target definitions into the PowerCenter repository. You can import metadata from any standard or custom Salesforce object available to your Salesforce user account. You can import big objects for source and target transformations.

When you import a Salesforce definition, the Designer creates one port for each field of the Salesforce object. When you import the Salesforce definition, you can also import fields of related objects. The Designer determines related objects based on the relationships defined in Salesforce.

If you create a Salesforce definition manually, the Designer creates the definition with no fields and does not allow you to add any fields.
