Retrieve Information from Salesforce

To automatically retrieve content from Salesforce, create a new fetch task by following these steps. The connector runs each fetch task automatically, based on the schedule that is defined in the configuration file.

To create a new Fetch Task

  1. Stop the connector.
  2. Open the configuration file in a text editor.
  3. In the [FetchTasks] section of the configuration file, specify the number of fetch tasks using the Number parameter. If you are configuring the first fetch task, type Number=1. If one or more fetch tasks have already been configured, increase the value of the Number parameter by one (1). Below the Number parameter, specify the names of the fetch tasks, starting from zero (0). For example:

    [FetchTasks]
    Number=1
    0=MyTask
  4. Below the [FetchTasks] section, create a new TaskName section. The name of the section must match the name of the new fetch task. For example:

    [FetchTasks]
    Number=1
    0=MyTask
    
    [MyTask]
  1. In the new section, ensure that you have set the parameters required to authenticate with Salesforce.

  2. Set the DocumentsXML parameter to define the information that you want to retrieve:

    DocumentsXML The location of an XML file describing the types to be indexed. For information about how to construct this file, see The DocumentsXML File.
  3. Save and close the configuration file.
