Salesforce Connector for Talend Studio

In this article you will learn how to integrate Salesforce data in Talend Studio without coding in just a few clicks (live / bi-directional connection to Salesforce). 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)..

Using Salesforce Connector you will be able to connect, read, and write data from within Talend Studio. Follow the steps below to see how we would accomplish that.

  2. Search for gateway in start menu and Open ZappySys Data Gateway:
    Open ZappySys Data Gateway

  3. Go to Users Tab to add our first Gateway user. Click Add; we will give it a name tdsuser and enter password you like to give. Check Admin option and click OK to save. We will use these details later when we create linked server:

  6. 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%'

  7. Click OK to finish creating the data source

    Review and accept all additional module license agreements during the process
  7. Finally, you should see a successful connection test result at the end: Connection test successful

Add input

  1. Once we have a connection to ZappySys Data Gateway created, we can proceed by creating a job: Create a job in Talend Studio
  2. Simply drag and drop ZappySys Data Gateway connection onto the job: Creating an input based on ZappySys Data Gateway connection
  3. Then create an input based on ZappySys Data Gateway connection: Creating an input based on ZappySys Data Gateway connection
  4. Continue by configuring a SQL query and click Guess schema button: Configuring a SQL query in Talend Studio
  5. Finish by configuring the schema, for example: Configuring a schema in Talend Studio

Add output

We are ready to add an output. From Palette drag and drop a tFileOutputDelimited output and connect it to the input: Connecting tFileOutputDelimited output in Talend Studio
