Step 3. Import Salesforce Metadata and Configure Entities

Step 3. Import Salesforce Metadata and Configure Entities

Connect to Salesforce in the Enterprise Data Manager to import Salesforce metadata and configure archive entities.
By default, the Salesforce application and an application version called "Sales" are visible in the Enterprise Data Manager application hierarchy. You can use the Sales application version to import metadata from standard and custom tables, or you can create a new application version. The Salesforce accelerator installs two entities called Event and Task. These entities contain standard Salesforce tables that you might want to archive. For more information on the tables in the Event and Task entities and their relationships, see the "Salesforce Accelerator" chapter of the
Enterprise Data Manager Guide
.
Before you can configure entities, you must connect to Salesforce to import metadata from Salesforce, just as you would for any ERP or custom application. You enter Salesforce connection details, such as the Salesforce username, password, security token, and host URL. You also provide the name and (optionally) the location of a database created by the JDBC driver for internal use. Next, you select the schema from which to import the metadata. There are special considerations for extracting and importing metadata from child tables in Salesforce entities, due to circular relationships between the tables that make automatic entity creation impossible. For more information about importing Salesforce metadata and configuring entities, see the "Salesforce Accelerator" chapter of the
Enterprise Data Manager Guide
