Create Step

Use the Create step to add new object instances. For example, if you work with an Account object, you can use the Create step to add a new account.

The Create step name can contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores (_), spaces, and Unicode characters.

The following image shows a Create step for the Account object:

You can view the input fields for the Salesforce account object.

To create new objects:

Choose the

Input Fields

tab and select all the fields that you will be adding to the object. Some are required; others are optional.

For each field name, set its source to one of the following values:

Content

Field

, or

Formula

You can also add an object by using the

AutoMap

option. For example, if you want to create an Account object in Salesforce, you can select the Salesforce connection and account object on the

Create

tab and select

AutoMap

on the

Input Fields

tab.

Application Integration matches the best possible fields based on the field names and assign as the input fields. Informatica does not guarantee exact field matches. After the fields are mapped, you must manually verify if the mappings are correct and update as needed.

Using Reference Fields

Note that:

If you do not include a reference field on the

Input Fields

tab for the object you are creating, Process Designer uses the value of the current object at runtime.

Reference fields for the Applies To
object are set if they are not set explicitly in the Input tab.

When the content of a reference field is set to empty, it is not included in the create statement. (This prevents problems that might occur when explicitly setting a field to empty or null could violate data constraints.)
