Adapter for Salesforce facilitates polling of data with Salesforce.com using the adapter polling notification templates. These templates enable a user to specify the sObjects needed to poll Salesforce.com at specified periodic intervals for any changes in the organization's data. This essentially includes creating, updating, and deleting records. The adapter uses the data replication APIs provided by Force.com Web services, getUpdated() and getDeleted(), to implement the polling notification.

Before you configure Adapter for Salesforce polling notifications, you must configure the connections you plan to use with them. See Configuring Adapter Connections for details.

For a description of adapter polling notifications, see Adapter Polling Notifications.

If you are using the adapter in a clustered environment, you will need to configure the polling notifications so that they run effectively. For more information, see Polling Notification Support in Integration Server Clusters.
