Salesforce Lookup Components

Salesforce Lookup Components

When you configure a Salesforce Lookup 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 Lookup transformation can include lookup ports, pass-through 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 Lookup 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 be reusable if you want to make it available to all transformations.
  • Port Attribute Definitions tab.
    The Port Attribute Definitions tab displays the port attributes defined for a Salesforce Lookup transformation. SforceDataType and SforceName are the only port attributes.
The transformation includes some configurable Custom transformation properties that the PowerCenter Integration Service does not use for lookups. The PowerCenter Integration Service ignores those configurable properties at run time.
The following table lists configurable properties that the Salesforce Lookup transformation does not use:
Property
Location
Description
Runtime Location
Properties tab
The PowerCenter Integration Service ignores the run-time location.
Initialization Property
Initialization Properties tab
The PowerCenter Integration Service ignores the initialization properties. It retrieves initialization information from a vendor-defined metadata extension.
Port Attribute Definition
Port Attribute Definitions tab
The Salesforce Lookup transformation uses a port attribute definition named SforceDataType. If you configure additional port attribute definitions, the PowerCenter Integration Service ignores them.
