The Salesforce Destination component documentation lists the following
options but I can't seem to find them in the properties (installed 1.5
SR-3):

RelationshipName (Salesforce Destination Input) (1.5 SR-2)
Specify relationship name for updating foreign key lookup with
external identifier.

ReferenceType (Salesforce Destination Input) (1.5 SR-2)
Specify referenced object for updating foreign key lookup with
external identifier.

ExternalId (Salesforce Destination Input) (1.5 SR-2)
Specify external identifier field for updating foreign key lookup with
external identifier.

I assume this can be used to use an External ID on a parent object to
upsert?

Can you point me to the right direction of where to find these
options?

Thanks!

Hi Hans,

These properties are specified in the external column element.

Hi Katalin,

We have posted demo video for the Salesforce Destination component. I would recommend you review it.

Regards,
Ivan

Hi Ivan,

I try to do an update in SalesForce. I have to update the Status of several IDs and I have a table with [SF_ID] and [Status] columns. I found the ExternalID in the properties and indicated [Id], but how will I indicate what's the connection between my table and Salesforce? In the Mapping, I made connection between my [Status] column and Salesforce's Status column. But should I make a connection between [SF_ID] and [Id] as well? I fear that I update all attributed records to a single Id and Status... :-(

I appreciate a quick answer.
Greetings from Teleperformance Portugal :o)

Hi Katalin,

You can create an Text type field in that object mark it as External Id column that hold unique number like Records Id and you can use Upsert instead of update in Sales Force Destination and map External Id column in Sales force.

Advantage here is it will take of Insert as well as update and it will avoid duplicates also.

Thanks,
Raja

Hi Raja,
 
I am having trouble using the external ID in the external column element in SSIS 2005 (known bug)
 
I understood from the demo movie that there is a workaround.
 
Thanks,
Asaf

Hi Asaf,

General if you are using external id column, it should have unique value. If you have duplicate external id value, it will throw exception while doing upsert. you can capture it by Error Description column of return value of Sales for destination.

Can you please provide exact error message you got while using external id for integration. May be I will help you if know those issue.

Thanks,
Malaikani Rajamani
