SSIS Upsert Destination
In this release we added very useful component for Upsert operation (in SQL Server Database for now). This component can perform High performance Bulk Upsert (Insert + Update) in a single operation. It uses Key based Lookup. You can also do Bulk Delete or Bulk Update.

Salesforce BULK Update Feature
We also added highly requested feature in Salesforce to use BULK API for very large dataset. By default Salesforce Destination uses SOAP API for Insert operation. Which is good for most part if you don’t have large dataset. For millions of rows it won’t perform good. This is why we added Bulk API mode.
We added two new properties. EnableBulkApiMode and MaxRowsPerJob. When EnableBulkApiMode is enabled BatchSize is ignored.
