Information noteWarning: Due to a [breaking change](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=release-notes.rn_security_mutual_authentication.htm&release=246&type=5) in the latest versions of
Salesforce, if you use the Basic connection type with
mutual authentication, you need to adjust the endpoint to prevent errors while
running the Job. Example:

This session file can be shared by different Jobs to retrieve a connection session
as long as the correct user ID is provided by the component. This way, you do not
need to connect to the server to retrieve the session.

When an expired session is detected, if the correct connection information (the
user ID, password, and security key) is provided, the component will connect to
the server to retrieve the new session information and update the connection
session file.
