Salesforce Analytics does not contain predefined metadata. Salesforce Analytics uses the JSON file format to describe the metadata. You must create a JSON file that contains metadata in the Salesforce Analytics schema format.
To create a JSON file, create a .csv file that contains the data that you want to load into Salesforce Analytics. Use the Salesforce
datasetloader.jar
file to convert the .csv file into a JSON file.
You can also create a JSON file at the time of target creation. On the Target page, click
Create Target
. The Secure Agent generates a JSON file and saves the file to the temporary directory that you specify when creating a connection.
