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 property is available only when

need to connect to the server to retrieve the session.

When an expired session is detected, if the correct connection information (the

the server to retrieve the new session information and update the connection
session file.
