Configuring Salesforce.com activities
Selecting fields from the Salesforce.com object to map
is one of the tasks you must complete to configure a Salesforce.com
activity. For more information about the configuration tasks in the Checklist,
see the help topic for the specific Salesforce.com activity.
Specifying the Retry and Time Out parameters for Salesforce.com activities
Specifying the Retry and Time
Out parameters is one of the tasks you must complete to
configure a Salesforce.com activity. The Salesforce.com Connector
uses an HTTP 1.1 persistent connection over SSL to make all connections
to the Salesforce.com server. The Salesforce.com connector compresses
all data for requests and responses using the gzip format.
Convert Lead activity
Use this activity to convert leads into accounts, contacts,
or opportunities in Salesforce.com. While the Salesforce.com API limits
the number of objects that it can convert in a single call to 100
objects, the WebSphere® Cast
Iron Salesforce.com connector does not have such a limit. You can
use the Convert Lead activity to convert an unlimited number
of objects.
Set password activity
Use this activity to change the password of a user or SelfServiceUser
to a value that you specify.
Reset password activity
Use this activity to reset the password of the user to
a system-generated value.
Send email activity
Use this activity to send single or multiple emails. The
emails include all standard email attributes such as the email address,
subject line, and carbon copies.
Create Objects activity
Use this activity to create one or more Salesforce.com
objects. In the Activities tab, open the Salesforce.com directory
to find the Create Objects activity.
Delete Objects activity
Use this activity to delete one or more objects in Salesforce.com.
While the Salesforce.com API limits the number of objects that it
can delete in a single call to 200 objects, the WebSphere Cast Iron Salesforce.com connector
does not have such a limit. You can use the Delete Objects activity
to delete an unlimited number of objects.
Get Deleted Objects
This activity retrieves the list of individual objects
that have been deleted within the specified time-span for the specified
object.
Get User Information activity
Use this activity to get user information from the Salesforce.com
server. In the Activities tab, open the Salesforce.com directory
to find the Get User Information activity.
Get Server Timestamp activity
Use this activity to get the current time from the Salesforce.com
server. In the Activities tab, open the Salesforce.com
directory to find the Get Server Timestamp activity.
Merge Objects Activity
Use this activity to merge Salesforce.com objects into
a single record.
Poll Deleted Objects activity
This activity polls the Salesforce.com Server for objects
that have been recently deleted and returns IDs to the Integration
Appliance.
Poll Updated Objects activity
This activity polls the Salesforce.com Server for objects
that have been recently created or updated and returns all the object
fields that you selected in the configuration panel to the Integration
Appliance. In Studio, configure the polling interval for the activity.
Query Objects activity
Use the Sforce Object Query Language (SOQL) to run a query
on one or more Salesforce.com object types from this activity and
return a results set. The Query Objects activity automatically runs
a query or queryAll call,
followed by continuous queryMore calls for all
children and objects returned from Salesforce.com.
Configuring the Query Objects activity
You must create a SForce Object Search Language (SOSL)
query to configure the Search Objects activity. The following
sections discuss the steps to configure the Search Objects activity,
create an SOSL query, and provide SOSL syntax rules for IBM® WebSphere Cast
Iron.
Retrieve Objects activity
Use this activity to retrieve one or more Salesforce.com
objects of a specified type. While the Salesforce.com API limits the
number of objects that it can retrieve in a single call to 2,000 objects,
the WebSphere Cast Iron
Salesforce.com connector does not have such a limit. You can use the Retrieve
Objects activity to retrieve an unlimited number of objects.
