Data Synchronization Prerequisite Tasks
Before you create a Data Synchronization task, complete the following prerequisite tasks:
- •Create the flat file.
You must create the flat file and its directory before you can create a Data Synchronization task that reads from or writes to a flat file.
- •Create the target database.
To write source data to a database target, the database administrator must create a database table to store the data for each Salesforce object. The database must meet the minimum system requirements.
- •Create database users.
To write source data to a database target, the database administrator must create a database user account in the target database. Each database user account must have the DELETE, INSERT, SELECT, and UPDATE privileges.
- •Verify that the sources and targets meet the requirements.
- •Download and run a Secure Agent.
If you read data from or write data to a flat file or database, download and run a Secure Agent on a machine that runs the Data Synchronization task.
