tSalesforceGetUpdated Standard properties

Property Type

Select the way the connection details will be set.

• Built-In: The connection details will be set locally for this component. You need to specify the values for all related connection properties manually.

  You need to click the [...] button next to it and in the pop-up Repository Content dialog box, select the connection details to be reused, and all related connection properties will be automatically filled in.

Connection Component

Select the component that opens the database connection to be reused by this component.

Connection type

Select the type of the connection from the drop-down list. The connection properties will vary according to the connection type you choose.

• OAuth: select this option to access Salesforce using OAuth (Open Authorization) 2.0 protocol to authenticate the user with the Json Web Token Flow OAuth 2.0 authentication flow type. To use this option, you need to create a connected app in Salesforce to configure a Salesforce authentication provider.

Module Name

Click the [...] button next to the field and in the dialog box displayed, select the module that will be used or select the Use custom object check box and specify the module name in the Object Name field.

Schema and Edit schema

A schema is a row description. It defines the number of fields (columns) to be processed and passed on to the next component. When you create a Spark Job, avoid the reserved word line when naming the fields.

Click Edit schema to make changes to the schema. If the current schema is of the Repository type, three options are available:

• View schema: choose this option to view the schema only.

• Change to built-in property: choose this option to change the schema to Built-in for local changes.

• Update repository connection: choose this option to change the schema stored in the repository and decide whether to propagate the changes to all the Jobs upon completion.

  If you just want to propagate the changes to the current Job, you can select No upon completion and choose this schema metadata again in the Repository Content window.

Click Sync columns to retrieve the schema from the previous component connected in the Job.

This component offers the advantage of the dynamic schema feature. This allows you to retrieve unknown columns from source files or to copy batches of columns from a source without mapping each column individually. For further information about dynamic schemas, see Dynamic schema.

This dynamic schema feature is designed for the purpose of retrieving unknown columns of a table and is recommended to be used for this purpose only; it is not recommended for the use of creating tables.

Start Date

Click the [...] button next to the field and in the calendar dialog box displayed, select the date and time to collect only the data updated since the specified time.

Use or save the connection session

Select this check box and in the Session directory field displayed, specify the path to the connection session file to be saved or used.

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.

This property is available only when the Basic connection type is selected.
