Salesforce Source Connections

Salesforce Source Connections

If you have installed the Salesforce accelerator, you can create a source connection to Salesforce. When you configure a Salesforce connection, you give the connection a name, description, and select "Salesforce1" as the connection type.
Configure the following source connection properties:
Application Version
Name of the Salesforce application version in the Enterprise Data Manager. For example, "Salesforce Sales."
Host
Host URL of the Salesforce environment, for example:
  • For the Salesforce production environment: login.salesforce.com
    "login.salesforce.com" is the default value.
  • For the Salesforce sandbox environment: test.salesforce.com
  • For a Salesforce customized URL, enter the customized URL without the "https://". For example: my-domain.salesforce.com
Application Schema
Application schema name. Enter "SFORCE".
"SFORCE" is the default value.
Application Login Name
Salesforce username.
Password
Salesforce password.
Confirm Password
Confirm the Salesforce password.
App Security Token
Salesforce security token. Optional field.
Confirm App Security Token
Confirm the Salesforce security token if applicable.
Interim Schema
Location where you want to create the interim schema table. Enter one of the following values:
  • PUBLIC. Data Archive creates the interim table in a location based on the "driver database" parameter. The PUBLIC value is the default value.
  • SFORCE. Data Archive creates the interim table in Salesforce. Verify that there is sufficient storage space in Salesforce before you run an archive or purge job. If you choose to create the interim table in Salesforce, performance of the archive or purge job will be affected. The Salesforce JDBC driver takes longer to create the interim table in Salesforce than if you set the value to PUBLIC. Creating the interim table in Salesforce also requires an extra Salesforce API request to insert the data into to the interim table. You must have the necessary permissions in Salesforce to create a table. For more information about required permissions, see the chapter "Salesforce Archiving Administrator Tasks" in the
    Data Archive Administrator Guide
    .
Driver Database (Name | Path+Name)
When the Salesforce JDBC driver connects to Salesforce, it creates an embedded database for internal use. The driver database parameter specifies the file name prefix, or file absolute path plus the file name prefix, that the driver uses to create or locate the set of files that define the embedded local database. Enter one of the following values:
  • You can leave the parameter blank, if the system user has permission to create files in the location where the ILM application server runs. By default a blank value is taken as "<host>_<application_login_name>." For example, if the host is "login.salesforce.com," and the application login name is "abc," then the default value is "login.salesforce.com_abc." Files will be created with the same prefix. For example, "login.salesforce.com_abc.config."
  • Enter any name for the database. The driver creates a local database with the given name. For example, if you enter the name "Test," the driver creates a local database with file names such as "Test.config" and "Test.properties" in the location where the ILM application server runs.
  • Enter an absolute file path plus a database name. The driver creates a local database with the given database name in the given path. For example, if you enter the value as "C:\ILM_DA\Test," the driver creates a local database with file names such as "Test.config" and "Test.properties" under the path "C:\ILM_DA."
The driver database name must be unique to the source connection; different source connections should not use the same driver database name.
Include Salesforce Archived Records
Select this check box if you want to archive records that have already been archived in Salesforce.
Salesforce has an internal archive functionality that archives eligible records from Salesforce objects. This feature is enabled by default for both the Task and Event entities. If you want to archive or purge the Task and Event entities, you must select this check box in the source connection.
