Retrieve Information from test.salesforce.com

The Salesforce Connector logs on to Salesforce through login.salesforce.com. To retrieve information from test.salesforce.com, modify the connector's application settings so that it logs on through the correct URL. The application settings are stored in an XML configuration file in the connector's installation folder. For more information about application settings configuration files, refer to the documentation for the Microsoft .NET Framework.

To modify the application settings and log on through test.salesforce.com

  1. Open the connector's installation folder.
  2. Create a file named SalesforceConnector.exe.config in a text editor, and add the following text, where the value element contains the correct URL:

    TIP: The file name might be different if you chose a different name for the connector service when installing the connector, but the extension is always .exe.config.
