Salesforce integrations with SAP PI, CPI is one of the common requirements. SFDC integration using SOAP/HTTP connectors is a complex approach in terms of connectivity to ensure session handling and data transactions. In this blog post, I am going to explain the steps for adapter installation and workbench installation in eclipse.
Adapter Overview: Advantco SFDC adapter comes free with SCPI license. This adapter is very easy to use at both sender and receiver directions with few one-time activities which are discussed here. This adapter ensures session handling implicitly thereby developer need not to worry about it. There are other functionalities like query lookup, Variable substitution, empty content handling etc. This adapter supports XML and JSON thereby developers can decide based on the integration flow design.
Prerequisites:
1. Eclipse Installation.
2. Advantco Adapter Installation file
3. SFDC workbench zip file
Installation of Adapter:
Connectivity to SFDC:
Workbench Perspective:
There are 3 different approaches to generate XSD schema which helps in SCPI development.
Finally, using this adapter the efforts of integration will be reduced by 30% and we can focus on logic in SCPI. In my next blog posts, I will explain the outbound and inbound integrations of SFDC with SAP using Advantco Adapter.
