Understanding and setting polling preferences for the Salesforce.com connector
About this task
The Salesforce.com connector contains two activities that
poll the Salesforce.com server for changes:
- Poll Deleted Objects activity
- Poll Updated Objects activity
These activities have the following startup behavior:
- For an orchestration that has never been deployed, the baseline time stamp is established when the activity is activated for the first time. The activity uses the baseline time stamp as the start time to poll for changes after the poll interval elapses. After the poll completes, the activity stores the last poll time.
- For a previously deployed orchestration, the activity uses the last poll time and the current time to poll for changes after the poll interval elapses.
- Salesforce.com requires at least 60 seconds between each poll. If less than 60 seconds have transpired, then the activity ignores the current polling interval until the next polling interval elapses.
