Introduction to Salesforce Analytics Connector

Salesforce Analytics Connector provides connectivity between Data Integration and Salesforce Analytics. You can integrate and transform data from sources, such as flat files, databases, and applications, to write to a Salesforce Analytics target. You can then view reports on Salesforce Analytics.

Salesforce Analytics targets represent objects in the Salesforce Analytics object model. Salesforce Analytics objects are tables that correspond to tabs and other user interface elements on the Salesforce Analytics website.

Use a Salesforce Analytics connection in synchronization tasks, mappings, and mapping tasks.

You can switch mappings to advanced mode to include transformations and functions that enable advanced functionality.

Note: You cannot read data from a partitioning-enabled source.
