Overview
The Salesforce Source Component is an SSIS Data Flow Component for consuming data from the Salesforce Service.
Demonstration
Quick Start
In this section we will show you how to set up a Salesforce Source component.
- Before you begin, configure a Salesforce connection manager.
- Drag the Data Flow Task from the SSIS Toolbox to the Control Flow canvas.
- Click the Data Flow tab to go to the Data Flow canvas.
- In the SSIS Toolbox, locate the Salesforce Source component and drag it onto the Data Flow canvas.
- 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.
- For Mode, either select Regular or Bulk.
- For Input, either select Object or Statement.
- If you selected Object, then select the object you want to work with from the drop-down list. You may also specify a Filter, as shown in the figure.
- If you selected Statement, then compose a SOQL statement to retrieve the object columns and records you want from the source.
- Click OK to close the component editor.
Congratulations! You have successfully configured the Salesforce Source component.
