Overview
The Salesforce Destination Component is an SSIS Data Flow Component for loading data into a Salesforce object.
Demonstration
Quick Start
In this section we will show you how to set up a Salesforce Destination component.
- Before you begin, configure a Salesforce connection manager.
- Configure a source component that will provide the data to be written to Salesforce.
- Ensure that you are on the Data Flow canvas.
- In the SSIS Toolbox, locate the Salesforce Destination component and drag it onto the Data Flow canvas.
- Connect the blue arrow from the source component or the data flow transformation that you want to immediately precede the Salesforce Destination component.
- Double-click on the component on the canvas.
- Once the component editor opens, select the connection manager you configured earlier from the Connection drop-down list.
- Choose the desired Action (Create, Update, Delete, or Upsert).
- Choose the Object you will be working with.
- The options will vary depending on the Action you selected. Check the options you desire. Descriptions of the options can be found in the Parameters section of the Salesforce Destination documentation.
- For Mode, either select Regular or Bulk.
- Click OK to close the component editor.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured the Salesforce Destination component.

Select a destination object action. This parameter has the options listed in the following table.
Action Description Create Create a new record in the destination object. Update Update an existing record in the destination object. You must specify the appropriate object record identifier for the update to work. Delete Delete an existing record from the destination object. You must specify the appropriate object record identifier for the delete to work. Upsert 1.4 SR-3 Update and insert a record in the destination object. Selecting this value displays the dynamic parameter ExternalId. After changing the action, you must use the Refresh command in the 'Column Mappings' tab to reload the destination object metadata.Specify the number of rows to be sent as a batch. The maximum for regular mode is 200. The maximum for bulk-load mode is 10,000.
Select bulk-load concurrency mode. This parameter has the options listed in the following table.
Value Description Parallel Process batches in parallel mode (default). Serial Process batches in serial mode. Processing in parallel can cause database contention. When this is severe, the job may fail. If you're experiencing this issue, submit the job with serial concurrency mode. This guarantees that batches are processed one at a time. Note that using this option may significantly increase the processing time for a job. Specify the destination Salesforce object where the data is to be loaded.
Specify the field for the external identifiers used in the upsert action.
Select the destination object processing mode. This parameter has the options listed in the following table.
Value Description Regular Process the data in regular mode. BulkData Process the data in bulk-load data mode. BulkBinary Process the data in bulk-load binary mode. Select variable to store bulk-load job identifier. Optional.
Specifies how NULL values are handled. This parameter has the options listed in the following table.
Options Description True The NULL values are ignored and not sent for processing. False The NULL values are sent for processing. Specify how to handle rows with errors.
Contains the unique identifier of the added, updated or deleted record.
Specify the relationship name for updating the foreign key lookup with an external identifier.
Specify the referenced object for updating the foreign key lookup with an external identifier.
Specify the external identifier field for updating the foreign key lookup with an external identifier.
Specify optional bulk job information in XML format. For further review Salesforce documentation. Optional.
