Step 3. Creating a Search Connection

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
Customer 360 for Salesforce
and MDM Hub.
  1. From the
    Setup
    section of the
    CC360 Admin
    tab, click
    Run the Setup Wizard
    .
  2. In the
    Service Setup
    section, click
    Multidomain MDM
    .
    The
    Service: Informatica Multidomain MDM
    page appears.
  3. To create a search connection, click
    New Search Connection
    .
    You can also edit an existing search connection.
  4. In the
    Search Service Information
    section, perform the following tasks:
    1. Activate the search connection.
    2. Configure the following connection details:
      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
      Multidomain MDM
      business entity or business entity views.
      Object Class
      Object class used in the matching settings to compare
      Multidomain MDM
      and
      Customer 360 for Salesforce
      records.
      Metadata URL
      URL to access the metadata of the MDM Hub.
      Use one of the following values based on how you deploy the MDM Hub:
      • If the
        Multidomain MDM
        is deployed on AWS, use URL of the Get Metadata REST web service.
        The following URL is an example service URL that gets the metadata of a business entity view in the MDM Hub:
        http://mdm-nonprod.informaticacloud.com/suenonprod/cmx/cs/orcl-CMX_ORS/SA_Emp.json?action=meta
      • If the
        Multidomain MDM
        is deployed locally, use the service URL from the meta service parent process you published in
        Informatica Cloud Application Integration
        .
        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
      Search URL
      URL to search for records in the MDM Hub.
      Use one of the following values based on how you deploy the MDM Hub:
      • If the
        Multidomain MDM
        is deployed on AWS, use the URL of the Search REST web service.
        The following URL is an example service URL to search for records in the MDM Hub data sources:
        http://mdm-nonprod.informaticacloud.com/suenonprod/cmx/cs/orcl-CMX_ORS/SA_Emp.json?fq=
        In the example,
        fq
        is a query parameter of the Search REST web service.
      • If the
        Multidomain MDM
        is deployed locally, use the service URL from the service parent process that you published in
        Informatica Cloud Application Integration
        .
        The following URL is an example service URL to search for records in the MDM Hub data sources:
        https://ps1w2.rt.informaticacloud.com/active-bpel/rt/MDMDev003-Hybrid-ProcessCloud-Person-Search?icrtInput=
        In the example URL
        icrtInput
        is the input variable defined in the parent process that you created in
        Informatica Cloud Application Integration
        .
  5. Click
    Get Fields
    . Gets the business entity service fields from
    Multidomain MDM
    .
  6. In the
    Field Mapping and Priority Information
    , perform the following tasks:
    1. Map the bean fields to the business entity service fields.
    2. Enable search for the fields.
    3. 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,
    2014-12-26 10:10:10Z
  7. Click
    Save
    .
    After you save the search connection,
    Customer 360 for Salesforce
    uses the field mapping and the priority information to create synchronization and data source settings for the
    Multidomain MDM
    business entity.
