When you configure a Salesforce Merge transformation, you define the following components:
Transformation tab.
You can rename the transformation and add a description on the Transformation tab.
Ports tab.
The Salesforce Merge transformation can include Salesforce object attribute ports and default ports.
Properties tab.
You can configure the tracing level for the transformation. The default tracing level is Normal. In addition, you can specify whether or not the output is deterministic. By default, the output is deterministic.
Initialization Properties tab.
The Salesforce Merge transformation does not use initialization properties. The PowerCenter Integration Service retrieves initialization information from a vendor-defined metadata extension.
Metadata Extensions tab.
Create a non-reusable metadata extension to extend the metadata of the transformation transformation. Configure the extension name, datatype, precision, and value. You can also promote a metadata extension to a reusable extension if you want to make the extension available to all transformation transformations.
Port Attribute Definitions tab.
The Port Attribute Definitions tab displays the port attributes defined for a Salesforce Merge transformation. SforceDataType and SforceName are the only port attributes.
