tSalesforceGetUpdated properties

Component family

Business/Cloud

Basic settings

Property Type

Either Built-In or Repository.

  • Built-In: No property data stored centrally.

  • Repository: Select the repository file where the properties are stored.

Since version 5.6, both the Built-In mode and the Repository mode are available in any of the Talend solutions.

Connection

Select the component whose connection details will be used to set up the connection.

Connection type

Select the type of the connection from the drop-down list, either Basic or OAuth.

  • Basic: select this option to access Salesforce.com by entering your user ID and password. With this option selected, you need to specify the following properties:

    • User Id: the ID of the user in Salesforce.

    • Password: the password associated with the user ID.

    • Security Key: the security token.

  • OAuth: select this option to access Salesforce.com by entering your consumer key and consumer secret. This way, your user name and password will not be exposed, but extra work is required:

    With this option selected, you need to specify the following properties:

    • Client Id and Client Secret: the OAuth consumer key and consumer secret, which are available in the OAuth Settings area of the Connected App that you have created at Salesforce.com.

    • Callback Host and Callback Port: the OAuth authentication callback URL. This URL (both host and port) is defined during the creation of a Connected App and will be shown in the OAuth Settings area of the Connected App.

    • Token File: the path to the token file that stores the refresh token used to get the access token without authorization.

 

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. The schema is either Built-In or stored remotely in the Repository.

Since version 5.6, both the Built-In mode and the Repository mode are available in any of the Talend solutions.

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.

 

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.

Note that you can collect only the data updated in the past 30 days.

 

End 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 before the specified time.

Global Variables

NB_LINE: the number of rows read by an input component or transferred to an output component. This is an After variable and it returns an integer.

ERROR_MESSAGE: the error message generated by the component when an error occurs. This is an After variable and it returns a string. This variable functions only if the Die on error check box is cleared, if the component has this check box.

A Flow variable functions during the execution of a component while an After variable functions after the execution of the component.

To fill up a field or expression with a variable, press Ctrl + Space to access the variable list and choose the variable to use from it.

For further information about variables, see Talend Studio User Guide.

This component is usually used as a start component of a Job or Subjob and it always needs an output link.
