Step 3. Creating a Search Connection

A search connection acts as a channel through which you can search for data or import data from MDM Hub. The search connection uses the search parameters to create a connection between CC360 and MDM Hub.

In Salesforce Classic, from the

Setup

section of the

CC360 Admin

tab, click

Run the Setup Wizard

In Lightning Experience, perform the following tasks:

On the navigation menu, click

CC360 Admin

The

Manage CC360

page appears.

From the

Setup

section, click

Run the Setup Wizard

In the

Service Setup

section, click

MDM Multidomain Edition

The

Service: Informatica MDM Multidomain Edition

page appears.

To create a search connection, click

Name: Name of the search connection.
User ID and Password: Authentication credentials to access Informatica Cloud.
Business Entity/View: Business entity type of the data in MDM Multidomain Edition business entity or business entity views.
Object Class: Object class used in the matching settings to compare MDM Multidomain Edition and CC360 records.

http://mdm-nonprod.informaticacloud.com/suenonprod/cmx/cs/orcl-CMX_ORS/SA_Emp.json?action=meta
If the MDM Multidomain Edition is deployed locally, use the service URL from the meta service parent process you published in Informatica Cloud Real Time.
The following URL is an example service URL that accesses the metadata of a business entity:
https://ps1w2.rt.informaticacloud.com/active-bpel/rt/MDMDev003-Hybrid-ProcessCloud-Person-Meta

In the example,
fq
is a query parameter of the Search REST web service.
If the MDM Multidomain Edition is deployed locally, use the service URL from the service parent process that you published in Informatica Cloud Real Time.

Enable search for the fields.

Assign priorities for each field.

If you map date or time fields, ensure that you use the following format:

For Date field.

<yyyy>-<mm>-<dd>T<hh>:<mm>:<ss>Z

For DateTime field.

<yyyy>-<mm>-<dd> <hh>:<mm>:<ss>Z

For example,
