SalesForce.Com Source

Source Icon	Source Description
	The SalesForce.com source is used to retrieve data from SalesForce.com objects within an SSIS package. The data is retrieved using a SQL statement built by the SalesForce.com source. See the SalesForce.com Connection Manager to learn more about setting up the connection manager.

Option	Description
Connection	Here you select a connection manager that already exists or you may choose to create one.
SalesForce Object	The name of the SalesForce.com object that is used to retrieve data from your SalesForce.com account. Choose your object from the drop down list after connecting to SalesForce.com. Once your object is selected, a query is created in the text box below.
Batch Size	Determines the number of rows that are retrieved during a single round trip to the SalesForce.com server.
Include Deleted / Archived Records	Selecting this option returns deleted and archived records. The IsDeleted column in the output allows you to determine whether the row is deleted.
Query Mode	Normal - Uses normal processing which can use up to 200 batch size. Normal mode is a SOAP request. BulkQuery - Uses bulk processing that can achieve up to 10,000 batch size. BulkQuery mode is webrequest with a file stream.
Output Date As:	Using BulkQuery mode, you can choose between the Local Time Zone or UTC Time Zone options.
Bulk Concurrency	Using the BulkQuery mode, you can choose between parallel (based on the batch size) and serial (one record at a time) modes.
Status Check Interval (seconds)	The amount of time in seconds before  a status check occurs. Note:  The Status Check Interval is two seconds by default.
Edit SalesForce Query	Selecting this makes the auto filled query editable. Note:  : Variable replacements can be used within queries. The syntax used is <User::MyVariableName>. For variable replacements that require the elimination of tics (''), use the syntax <User::MyVariableName, false>. For example: SELECT <User::OpportunityId, false> FROM Opportunity
SalesForce Query Window	Once your object is selected, this window fills with a query.
Variable Parameters	Variables here can be dragged into the query window to edit or create new queries.

SalesForce.com Destination

Destination Icon	Destination Description
	The SalesForce.com Destination is used to send data to a SalesForce.com object. See the SalesForce.com Connection Manager to learn more about setting up the connection manager.

Option	Description
Connection	Here you select an existing SalesForce.com connection, or create a new one.
SalesForce Object	Once selecting the connection, you then select and object where the data is inserted within your SalesForce.com account.
Action	Insert:  Inserts data into the SalesForce object. Upsert: Inserts data into the SalesForce object if the data does not exist or update the data if it already exists.  Upsert requires that an external ID be added to your SalesForce object in your SalesForce.com account. Update: Updates your data in the SalesForce object based on the ID column from the SalesForce object.  The ID from the SalesForce object must exist in the local source data. To the ID column data, the TF Sales Source Adapter must be used to retrieve the data or the ID needs to be retrieved and updated using the output from the SalesForce Destination. Delete: Deletes data from the SalesForce object by sending it to the Recycle bin. The ID column of the SalesForce object is used to delete the data. Merge: Merges three or more SalesForce objects of the same type. You must supply the master record ID and at least one ID for the Merged IDs.  You can supply a maximum of two IDs for this action. HardDelete: Bypasses Delete and permanently deletes data from the SalesForce object. The ID column of the SalesForce object is used to delete the data. Warning:  Using HardDelete permanently deletes data instead of sending the data to the Recycle bin. Undelete: Restores previously deleted data from the SalesForce object by removing the data from the Recycle bin.
Upsert External ID	If you selected the Upsert action you must select your External ID here.
Batch Size	You can configure a custom batch size (200 or less).
Assignment Rule	Select an assignment rule created for their object(s). Rules can be ignored by selecting [No Assignment Rule].
Process Mode	Normal:  Creates a CSV file using normal processing that can use up to 200 batch size. Bulk:  Creates a CSV file using bulk processing that can achieve up to 10,000 batch size. Bulk mode uses more network traffic but less IO because no compression occurs. BulkZip:  Also uses bulk processing but compresses the bulk CSV file before sending. BulkZip uses more IO for compression but less network traffic. Bulk XML:  Creates an XML file using bulk processing that can achieve up to 10,000 batch size.  Bulk XML zip:  Also uses bulk processing but compresses the bulk XML file before sending. Bulk XML uses more IO for compression but less network traffic.
Concurrency	Using bulk processing mode, you can choose between parallel (based on the batch size) and serial (one record at a time) modes.
Map SalesForce Destination Columns	Once you have an object selected, the columns here will be filled. Any column names that match are automatically mapped. To map more columns, select on the Input column that you wish to be mapped to the destination column.
How to handle errors	There are three options to handle errors: Fail Component:  The component fails upon the first data error that is thrown. Redirect row to error output:  The rows of data that failed are sent to the error output which then can be used to handle the data errors. Ignore Failure:  The failures are ignored but reported in the Execution Results log.
Refresh Salesforce Columns	Selecting this button allows the component to refresh the metadata and update any changes made in Salesforce after the destination was opened.
Wait For Bulk Results	This selection can be used along with the bulk processing mode. When selected, it sends a batch of rows to a job and waits for the results of the operation (insert, update, upsert, delete) and then outputs the results to the success output with the ID's generated by Salesforce when updated or created. If this option is not selected, the component does not wait for the results and processes the execution as quickly as possible, and the Salesforce ID is not properly returned.
Use Legacy Output Mode	In legacy versions of Task Factory, you could update the unique ID's created by Salesforce.com by connecting a destination component to the Salesforce Destination's error output. This legacy output also returned errors (when error handling was enabled) which could be confusing when sifting through multiple updates mixed with errors. The current version now defaults with the option turned off thus directing the unique ID to the success output. This change allows you to separate the data returned from Salesforce.com from the error output.
Ignore Null Values	Selecting this option allows the component to ignore any field that has null values.
