Salesforce Connector for Informatica

Salesforce Connector can be used to extract/load large amount of data from/in Salesforce.com without any programming. You can use simple Table mode or Query mode with full SOQL query language support (SOQL=Salesforce.com Object Query Language).

In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Salesforce data in Informatica without coding. We will use high-performance Salesforce Connector to easily connect to Salesforce and then access the data inside Informatica.

Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that!

Introduction

Informatica PowerCenter Logo JSON / REST API is becoming more and more popular each day as everyone embrace cloud-centric services. This article is primarily focused on Informatica users who want to access Salesforce data or may be other API Integration in Informatica. However many tips and techniques described in this article will help you to understand how to integrate Salesforce / XML SOAP / JSON / REST API in other ETL / Reporting apps such as Tableau, Power BI, SSRS, Talend, Excel and many more.

After going through this article you will learn how to Read Salesforce / JSON / REST API data in Informatica and understand the concept of JSON / REST API. We will go through many screenshots and step-by-step examples to demonstrate  Salesforce or REST API integration in Informatica PowerCenter.

XML / JSON can come from a local file or REST API service (internal or public) so we will include both examples in this article (i.e. Read JSON files in Informatica,  Import REST API in Informatica). So let’s get started. Next article will focus on how to write data to API in Informatica (POST / PUT data)

If you need to consume API which is not listed on connector library page then please refer to the below article links. It talks about how to read / write pretty much any API and not just Salesforce API. It explains various API tips / tricks using our other Universal Drivers not mentioned in this article (i.e. ZappySys JSON / XML and CSV Drivers).

Requirements

This article assumes that you have full filled following basic requirements.

  1. Download Install ZappySys ODBC PowerPack (API Driver for Salesforce included)
  2. Install Informatica PowerCenter Client Tools (e.g. Workflow and Mapping Designers)
  3. Access to a Relational database such as SQL Server (or use any of your choice e.g. Oracle, MySQL, DB2 ). If nothing available then you can use flat file target.

Video Tutorial – Read any API / JSON data in Informatica (Load Salesforce to SQL Table)

Below video is not about Salesforce API but its showing API access in general (for any API). By watching following ~5 min video can learn steps listed in this article to load JSON API data into SQL Server Table using ZappySys JSON Driver. You can go though full article to learn many useful details not covered in this video.

Getting Started – Import Salesforce to SQL Server in Informatica

Now let’s get started. For example purpose, we will read data from Salesforce and load data into SQL Server Table using Informatica Workflow.

Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) based on ZappySys Salesforce Driver

Step-by-step instructions

To get data from Salesforce using Informatica we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Salesforce. We will later be able to read data using Informatica. Perform these steps:

  1. Download and install ODBC PowerPack.

  2. Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):

    Open ODBC Data Source
  3. Create a User data source (User DSN) based on ZappySys Salesforce Driver

    ZappySys Salesforce Driver
    Create new User DSN for ZappySys Salesforce Driver
    • Create and use User DSN if the client application is run under a User Account. This is an ideal option in design-time, when developing a solution, e.g. in Visual Studio 2019. Use it for both type of applications - 64-bit and 32-bit.
    • Create and use System DSN if the client application is launched under a System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. Usually, this is an ideal option to use in a production environment. Use ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit), instead of 64-bit version, if Windows Service is a 32-bit application.
  4. Now, we need SalesForce Connection. Lets create it. ODBC SalesForce Driver - Create Connection

  5. Now, When you see DSN Config Editor with zappysys logo first thing you need to do is change default DSN Name at the top and Click on Preview Tab, Select Table from Tables Dropdown or you can enter or modify a SOQL query and click on Preview Data.
    This example shows how to write simple SOQL query (Salesforce Object Query Language). It uses WHERE clause. For more SOQL Queries click here.
    SOQL is similar to database SQL query language but much simpler and many features you use in database query may not be supported in SOQL (Such as JOIN clause not supported). But you can use following Queries for Insert, Update, Delete and Upsert(Update or Insert record if not found).

    SELECT * FROM Account WHERE Name like '%Oil%'

Create Connection in Informatica Workflow Designer

Once you create DSN using API Driver our next step is to define a connection for Salesforce source in Informatica PowerCenter Workflow designer.

  1. Open Workflow designer [W] icon
  2. Goto Connections > Relational
    Create new connection for JSON in Informatica

    Create a new connection for Salesforce in Informatica

  3. Click New and select ODBC
    Select ODBC connection type in Informatica (Using ZappySys JSON ODBC DSN)

    Select ODBC connection type in Informatica (Using ZappySys API ODBC DSN)

  4. Now on the ODBC connection setup enter connection name, some fake userid / password (this is a required field but its ignored by JSON Driver)
  5. In the Connection String field enter the exact same name of DSN (Open ODBC Data Sources UI to confirm)
    Configure Salesforce connection in Informatica for REST API – Using ZappySys API ODBC Driver

    Configure Salesforce connection in Informatica for REST API – Using ZappySys API Driver

  6. Click OK to close the connection properties.

That’s it. Now we ready to move to next step (define source and target in Mapping Designer).

Import Salesforce Source Definition in Informatica Mapping Designer

Now let’s look at steps to import Salesforce table definition.

  1. Open Informatica Mapping Designer (Click [D] icon)
  2. Click on Source Icon to switch to Sources designer
  3. From the top menu > Click on Sources > Import from Database
    Import JSON Source definition in Informatica Mapping Designer (JSON file or REST API)

    Import Salesforce Source definition in Informatica Mapping Designer (JSON file or REST API)

  4. Select ODBC data source from the dropdown (Find out DSN we created earlier to use as JSON Source)
  5. Click Connect button to get a list of tables. Any array node is listed as a table. Also, you will see array node with parent columns (e.g. value_with_parent). You may get some warning like below but they are harmless so just ignore by clicking OK.

    Using EXTODBC.DLL to support ZappySys JSON Driver. For native support of ZappySys JSON Driver make an entry in the .ini file.
    Select JSON Source Table in Informatica Mapping Designer (JSON file or REST API)

    Select Salesforce Source Table in Informatica Mapping Designer (JSON file or REST API)

  6. Select Table you wish to get (You can filter rows by custom SQL query. We will see later in this article how to do)
  7. Optionally once table structure is imported you can rename it
    Rename imported table definition in Informatica Source Designer

    Rename imported table definition in Informatica Source Designer

  8. That’s it, we are now ready to perform similar steps to import Target table structure in the next section.

Import SQL Server Target Definition in Informatica Mapping Designer

Now let’s look at steps to import Target table definition (very similar to the previous section, the only difference is this time we will select DSN which points to SQL Server or any other Target Server).

Now lets look at steps to import target table definition in Informatica mapping designer.

  1. In the Mapping Designer, Click on Target Icon to switch to Target designer
  2. From the top menu > Click on Targets > Import from Database
  3. Select DSN for your Target server (if DSN doesn’t exist then create one by opening ODBC Sources just like we created one for JSON API source (see the previous section about creating DSN).
    Import target Table Definition in informatica

    Import target Table Definition in informatica

  4. Enter your userid , password and Schema name and click Connect to see tables
  5. Select Table name to and click OK import definition.
    Import Target SQL Table Definition in Informatica - Select table from the list

    Import Target SQL Table Definition in Informatica – Select table from the list

Create Source to Target Mapping in Informatica (Import JSON to SQL Server)

Once you have imported source and target table definition, we can create mapping and transformation to load data from JSON to SQL Table.

  1. First open Mapping Designer (Click [D] icon)
  2. Drag JSON Source from sources folder
  3. Drag SQL Table from Targets folder
  4. Map desired columns from Source to target
    Define Source to Target mapping for JSON to SQL Table load in Informatica

    Define Source to Target mapping for Salesforce to SQL Table load in Informatica

  5. For certain columns you may have to do datatype conversion. For example to convert OrderDate form nstring to DataTime you have to use Expression Transform like below and map it to target. In below example, our JSON has date format (e.g. 2018-01-31 12:00:00 AM ). To import this to DateTime field in SQL server we need to convert it using TO_DATE function. Use double quotes around T to make this format working.
    TO_DATE(OrderDate,'YYYY-MM-DD H12:MI:SS AM')
    
     --For ISO use below way
            TO_DATE(OrderDate,'YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS')

  6. Once you done with mapping save your mapping and name it (i.e. m_Api_To_SQL)
  7. Now lets move to next section to create workflow.

Create Workflow and Session in Informatica

Now the final step is to create a new workflow. Perform following steps to create workflow which with a session task to import JSON data into SQL table.

  1. Open workflow designer by click [W] icon.
  2. Launch new workflow creation wizard by click Workflow top menuWizard
    name your workflow (e.g. wf_Api_Tp_Sql_Table_Import)

    Creating Informatica Workflow - Wizard UI (Import JSON data to SQL Table)

    Creating Informatica Workflow – Wizard UI (Import Salesforce data to SQL Table)

  3. Finish the wizard and double-click the Session to edit some default properties.
  4. First change Error settings so we fail session on error (By default its always green)
    Fail Informatica Session on error (JSON to SQL Load)

    Fail Informatica Session on error (Salesforce data to SQL Load)

  5. Select JSON connection for Source
    Select JSON Source Connection in Informatica - JSON File / REST API Load to SQL Table

    Select Salesforce Source Connection in Informatica – Load Salesforce data to SQL Table

  6. Change default Source query if needed. You can pass parameters to this query to make it dynamic.
    Modify JSON Source SQL query - Pass parameters, change URL, set filter etc

    Modify Salesforce Source SQL query – Pass parameters, change URL, set filter etc

  7. Select Target connection of SQL Target Table
    Select SQL Target Connection in Informatica - JSON File / REST API Load to SQL Table

    Select SQL Target Connection in Informatica – Load Salesforce data to SQL Table

  8. Save workflow
  9. That’s it. We ready to run our first workflow to load JSON data to SQL.

Query Examples

This guide provides examples for using the ZappySys Salesforce ODBC Driver to perform bulk API operations and DML (Data Manipulation Language) actions on Salesforce. You’ll learn how to leverage the Bulk API to insert, update, upsert, and delete large datasets from external sources such as MSSQL, CSV, Oracle, and other ODBC-compatible systems. By using external IDs and lookup fields, you can easily map data from your source systems to Salesforce. These examples will help you execute high-performance operations efficiently using EnableBulkMode, EXTERNAL options, and more.

Bulk Mode - Insert Large Volume of Data from External Source (e.g., MSSQL) into Salesforce

This example demonstrates how to use the EnableBulkMode option to insert a large volume of records into Salesforce using the Bulk API (Job-based mode). By default, the standard mode writes data in batches of 200 rows. However, when Bulk API mode is enabled, it can send up to 10,000 rows per batch, offering better performance for large datasets. Note that using Bulk API mode may not provide performance benefits for small datasets (e.g., a few hundred rows).

In this example, the driver type is set to MSSQL. For other data sources such as CSV, REST API, or Oracle, update the driver type to ODBC and modify the connection string and query accordingly.

Ensure that your source query returns column names that match the target Salesforce object fields. The EXTERNAL option is used to map Salesforce target fields based on the output of the source query.

Important: If you’re using Windows authentication, the service account running the ZappySys Data Gateway must have the appropriate permissions on the source system.

INSERT INTO Account
SOURCE (
    'MSSQL',
    'Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tempdb;Integrated Security=true',
    'SELECT TOP 1000000 
         C_NAME AS Name,
         C_CITY AS BillingCity,
         C_LOC AS NumberofLocations__c  
     FROM very_large_staging_table'
)
WITH (
    Output = 1,
    EnableBulkMode = 1
)

-- Notes:
-- 'MSSQL': External driver type (MSSQL, ODBC, OLEDB)
-- Output: Enables capturing __RowStatus and __ErrorMessage
-- EnableBulkMode: Improves performance with bulk batches (uses 10000 rows per batch rather than 200)

Bulk Mode - Insert Records with Lookup Field (Read from External Source)

This example demonstrates how to use the EnableBulkMode option to insert a large number of records into Salesforce using the Bulk API (Job-based mode). Additionally, it shows how to set a lookup field—specifically the Owner field—by referencing an external ID from the User object instead of using the internal Salesforce ID.

If you are performing an Update operation, you must include the Id field in the source data. If your source field has a different name, alias it to Id in the SQL query. For Upsert operations, you can specify a custom external ID field using the Key='ExternalId_Field_Name' option. However, for standard Update operations, the Id field is mandatory.

By default, data is written in batches of 200 rows. When Bulk API mode is enabled, up to 10,000 rows can be sent per batch. This improves performance for large datasets, but offers little advantage for smaller volumes.

In this example, the driver type is set to MSSQL. For other sources such as CSV, REST API, or Oracle, change the driver type to ODBC and adjust the connection string and query accordingly.

Make sure the query outputs column names that match the target fields in the Salesforce object. The EXTERNAL option is used to map input columns to Salesforce fields dynamically.

Important: If you’re using Windows authentication, ensure that the service account running the ZappySys Data Gateway has the appropriate access permissions on the source system.

INSERT INTO Account
SOURCE (
    'MSSQL',
    'Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tempdb;Integrated Security=true',
    'SELECT TOP 1000000 
         Account_Name as Name,
         AccountOwnerId as [Owner.ExternalId]
     FROM very_large_staging_table'
)
WITH (
    Output = 1,
    EnableBulkMode = 1
)

-- Notes:
-- 'MSSQL': External driver type (MSSQL, ODBC, OLEDB)
-- Output: Enables capturing __RowStatus and __ErrorMessage
-- EnableBulkMode: Improves performance with bulk batches (uses 10000 rows per batch rather than 200)

Bulk Mode - Delete Large Volume of Data (Read IDs from External Source)

This example demonstrates how to use the EnableBulkMode option to delete a large number of records from Salesforce using the Bulk API (Job-based mode). To perform a delete operation, the source query must return the Id column. If your source column has a different name, make sure to alias it as Id in the SQL query.

By default, data is processed in batches of 200 rows. When Bulk API mode is enabled, batches can include up to 10,000 rows, which significantly improves performance when working with large datasets. However, for small volumes (a few hundred records), Bulk API mode may not offer a noticeable performance benefit.

In this example, the driver type is set to MSSQL. For other data sources such as CSV, REST API, or Oracle, set the driver type to ODBC and update the connection string and query as needed.

Ensure that the query output includes column names that match the target Salesforce object fields. The EXTERNAL option allows dynamic mapping of input columns to Salesforce fields based on the source query.

Important: If you’re using Windows authentication, make sure the service account running the ZappySys Data Gateway has the necessary permissions to access the data source.

DELETE FROM Account
SOURCE (
    'MSSQL',
    'Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tempdb;Integrated Security=true',
    'SELECT TOP 1000000 
         Account_ID as Id
     FROM very_large_staging_table'
)
WITH (
    Output = 1,
    EnableBulkMode = 1
)

-- Notes:
-- 'MSSQL': External driver type (MSSQL, ODBC, OLEDB)
-- Output: Enables capturing __RowStatus and __ErrorMessage
-- EnableBulkMode: Improves performance with bulk batches (uses 10000 rows per batch rather than 200)

Bulk Mode - Update Large Volume of Data (Read from External Source)

This example illustrates how to use the EnableBulkMode option to update a large number of records in Salesforce via the Bulk API (Job-based mode). When performing an Update operation, the source query must include the Id column. If the source column is named differently, be sure to alias it as Id in your SQL query.

By default, records are processed in batches of 200 rows. When Bulk API mode is enabled, batches can handle up to 10,000 rows, which greatly improves performance for large datasets. However, for smaller datasets (e.g., a few hundred records), Bulk API may not offer a significant performance boost.

In this example, the driver type is set to MSSQL. For other sources such as CSV, REST API, or Oracle, change the driver type to ODBC and modify the connection string and query accordingly.

Ensure that your query returns column names matching the fields in the Salesforce target object. The EXTERNAL option is used to dynamically map input columns to Salesforce fields based on the query output.

Important: When using Windows authentication, the service account running the ZappySys Data Gateway must have the necessary permissions on the source system.

UPDATE Account
SOURCE (
    'MSSQL',
    'Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tempdb;Integrated Security=true',
    'SELECT TOP 1000000 
         Account_ID as Id,
         Account_Name as Name,
         City as BillingCity
     FROM very_large_staging_table'
)
WITH (
    Output = 1,
    EnableBulkMode = 1
)

-- Notes:
-- 'MSSQL': External driver type (MSSQL, ODBC, OLEDB)
-- Output: Enables capturing __RowStatus and __ErrorMessage
-- EnableBulkMode: Improves performance with bulk batches (uses 10000 rows per batch rather than 200)

Bulk Mode - Update Lookup Field (Read from External Source)

This example shows how to use the EnableBulkMode option to update a large number of Salesforce records using the Bulk API (Job-based mode). In this scenario, we update a lookup field—specifically the Owner field—by referencing the external ID from the User object instead of using the internal Salesforce ID.

When performing an Update, the Id field must be included in the source data. If your source column has a different name, alias it as Id in the SQL query. For Upsert operations, you can specify a custom external ID using the Key='ExternalId_Field_Name' option. However, for standard Update operations, the Id field is required.

By default, the system processes 200 rows per batch. When EnableBulkMode is enabled, it can process up to 10,000 rows per batch, offering improved performance for large datasets. This mode is less effective for smaller data volumes.

In this example, the driver type is set to MSSQL. For other data sources (e.g., CSV, REST API, Oracle), change the driver type to ODBC and update the connection string and query as needed.

Ensure the query returns column names that match the fields in the target Salesforce object. The EXTERNAL option dynamically maps input columns to Salesforce fields based on the query output.

Important: If using Windows authentication, ensure the service account running the ZappySys Data Gateway has appropriate permissions on the source system.

UPDATE Account
SOURCE (
    'MSSQL',
    'Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tempdb;Integrated Security=true',
    'SELECT TOP 1000000 
         Account_ID as Id,
         Account_Name as Name,
         AccountOwnerId as [Owner.ExternalId]
     FROM very_large_staging_table'
)
WITH (
    Output = 1,
    EnableBulkMode = 1
)

-- Notes:
-- 'MSSQL': External driver type (MSSQL, ODBC, OLEDB)
-- Output: Enables capturing __RowStatus and __ErrorMessage
-- EnableBulkMode: Improves performance with bulk batches (uses 10000 rows per batch rather than 200)

External Input from ODBC - Insert Multiple Rows from ODBC Source (e.g., CSV) into Salesforce

This example demonstrates how to perform an INSERT operation in Salesforce using multiple input rows from an external data source such as MSSQL, ODBC, or OLEDB. The operation reads records via an external query and inserts them directly into Salesforce.

In this example, the driver type is set to MSSQL. For other systems like CSV, REST API, or Oracle, set the driver type to ODBC and update the connection string and query accordingly.

Ensure that the query returns column names that match the fields in the Salesforce target object. The EXTERNAL option is used to map these input columns to the corresponding Salesforce fields based on the source query output.

INSERT INTO Account
SOURCE (
    'ODBC',  -- External driver type: MSSQL, ODBC, or OLEDB
    'Driver={ZappySys CSV Driver};DataPath=c:\somefile.csv',  -- ODBC connection string
    '
    SELECT 
        Acct_Name AS Name,
        Billing_City AS BillingCity,
        Locations AS NumberofLocations__c
    FROM $
    WITH (
        -- Either use SRC to point to a file or use inline DATA. Comment out one as needed.
        
        -- Examples:
        -- SRC = ''c:\file_1.csv''
        -- SRC = ''c:\some*.csv''
        -- SRC = ''https://abc.com/api/somedata-in-csv''

        DATA = ''Acct_Name,Billing_City,Locations
        Account001,City001,1
        Account002,City002,2
        Account003,City003,3''
    )'
)
-- Notes:
-- Column aliases in SELECT must match Salesforce target fields.
-- Preview the Account object to verify available fields.

WITH (
    Output = 1,                -- Capture __RowStatus and __ErrorMessage for each record
    -- EnableBulkMode = 1,     -- Use Bulk API (recommended for 5,000+ rows)
    EnableParallelThreads = 1, -- Use multiple threads for real-time inserts
    MaxParallelThreads = 6     -- Set maximum number of threads
)

DML - Upsert Lookup Field Value Using External ID Instead of Salesforce ID

This example demonstrates how to set a lookup field value in Salesforce using an external ID rather than the internal Salesforce ID during DML operations such as INSERT, UPDATE, or UPSERT.

Typically, updating a lookup field requires the Salesforce ID of the related record. However, Salesforce also allows referencing a related record using an external ID field. To do this, use the following field name syntax:

[relationship_name.external_id_field_name(child_object_name)]
  • relationship_name: The API name of the relationship (e.g., Owner or YourObject__r).
  • external_id_field_name: A custom field on the related object, marked as External ID.
  • child_object_name (optional): The API name of the related object. If omitted, Salesforce derives it from the relationship name (without the __r suffix).

Example:

To assign a record owner using a custom external ID on the User object:

Owner.SomeExternalId__c(User)
  • Owner: The relationship name for the user record.
  • SomeExternalId__c: A custom external ID field in the User object.
  • User: The related (child) object name.

If you’re using the SOURCE(...) clause to read input data and enabling BulkApiMode=1 in the WITH(...) clause, you can omit the child object name. In that case, use the format:

relationship_name.external_id_field_name

Setting a Field to NULL:

To set a lookup or standard field to null, use:

FieldName = null

For example:

AccountId = null

Avoid using:

relation_name.external_id_name(target_table) = null

VALUES (
    'mycompany name',
    'New York',
    'K100'  -- External ID value of the User (Owner)
)
WITH (
    KEY = 'SupplierId__c',  -- External ID field used for UPSERT on Account object
    Output = 1              -- Return __RowStatus and __ErrorMessage for result diagnostics
)

Supported WITH Properties in BULK Mode

When using the ZappySys Salesforce ODBC Driver with BULK mode, you can pass additional options using the WITH clause to customize behavior.
Here are other supported properties commonly used BULK mode:

INSERT INTO Account/UPDATE Account/DELETE FROM Account
SOURCE(...)
WITH(
Output=1 /*Other values can be Output='*' , Output=1 , Output=0 , Output='Col1,Col2...ColN'.  When Output option is supplied then error is not thrown but you can capture status and message in __RowStatus and __ErrorMessage output columns*/
,EnableBulkMode=1 --use Job Style Bulk API (uses 10000 rows per batch rather than 200)
--,MaxRowsPerJob=500000 --useful to control memory footprint in driver
--,ConcurrencyMode='Default' /* or 'Parallel' or 'Serial' - Must set BulkApiVersion=2 to use this, Bulk API V1 doesnt support this yet. If you get locking errors then change to Serial*/
--,BulkApiVersion=2 --default is V1
--,IgnoreFieldsIfInputNull=1 --Set this option to True if you wish to ignore fields if input value is NULL. By default target field is set to NULL if input value is NULL.
--,FieldsToSetNullIfInputNull='SomeColum1,SomeColumn5,SomeColumn7' --Comma separated CRM entity field names which you like to set as NULL when input value is NULL. This option is ignored if IgnoreFieldsIfInputNull is not set to True.
--,AssignmentRuleId='xxxxx' --rule id to invoke on value assignment
--,UseDefaultAssignmentRule=1 --sets whether you like to use default rule
--,AllOrNone=1 --If true, any failed records in a call cause all changes for the call to be rolled back. Record changes aren't committed unless all records are processed successfully. The default is false. Some records can be processed successfully while others are marked as failed in the call results.
