Adapter Service Templates

Adapter Service Template	Description
Batch Operation	Handles a large number of records of a Salesforce object. The service performs the following operations against a batch of Salesforce object records: Inserts new records. Updates records. Inserts and updates records. Deletes records. Performs a query to find records and return field values from matching records. For more details, see Configuring Batch Operation Adapter Services.
Create Operation	Inserts new records into one or multiple Salesforce objects. For example, you might insert new contacts in the Contact Salesforce object, or new records into both the Contact and Account Salesforce objects. For more details, see Configuring Create Operation Adapter Services.
Custom Query Operation	Creates a query service that allows you to configure a dynamic Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) statement, part of which you set at run time using input fields. For more details, see Configuring Custom Query Operation Adapter Services.
Delete Operation	Deletes records from the data of the organization. For example, you might delete one or more contacts from the Contacts Salesforce object. For more details, see Configuring Delete Operation Adapter Services.
Monitor Batch Operations	Monitors the status and displays the results of the batch operations executed by the Batch Operation service. For more details, see Configuring Monitor Batch Operations Adapter Services.
Query Operation	Executes a query against a Salesforce object to find matching records and return field values from those records. For example, you might query the Contacts Salesforce object to find contacts that have a certain "Title" and return the values in the FirstName and LastName fields for those matching contacts. For more details, see Configuring Query Operation Adapter Services.
Retrieve Operation	Retrieves records of a Salesforce object and returns field values from those records. You specify the IDs of the records to retrieve. For more details, see Configuring Retrieve Operation Adapter Services.
Update Operation	Updates records of one or multiple Salesforce objects. For example, you might update Address Information for a contact, or update records in both the Account and Contact Salesforce objects. For more details, see Configuring Update Operation Adapter Services.
Upsert Operation	Either inserts records into or updates records of a Salesforce object. You specify how to identify the record on which to act. If the record does not already exist, it is inserted. If the record exists, it is updated. For example, you might identify a contact by its external ID and provide information for the contact. If the external ID does not identify an existing contact, the contact is added; otherwise, the contact with the specified external ID is updated with the supplied information. For more details, see Configuring Upsert Operation Adapter Services.
Utility Operation	Invokes one of the following Salesforce.com utilities: getServerTimestamp. Retrieves the current Salesforce.com system timestamp. getSessionId. Obtains a session ID or an access token that you use to implement custom Salesforce.com operations that the adapter does not support. getUserInfo. Obtains personal information about the currently logged-in user, that is, the user account used for the adapter connection. resetPassword. Changes a user's password to a temporary, system-generated value. sendEmail. Sends a single e-mail message. sendMassEmail. Sends multiple e-mail messages. setPassword. Changes a user's password to a specified value. For more details, see Configuring Utility Operation Adapter Services.
