1. What is an Interface and How to create it ?

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, you’ll be able to:

• Describe what the Interface is.
• Comfortably use the Interface.

Introduction

This tutorial should explain the main concept of an interface. After creating the integration, the user needs to come to this step and create an interface. The configuration of an interface is complex we cannot explain all the parameters on the interface screen in detail in this tutorial. Instead, just create an example interface like Account and set only the basic parameter. This interface should be tested using manual load. There are 3 different categories of interface technology we support: Synchronous and real-time (synchronous) batch (asynchronous) bulk (asynchronous) When the interface is run messages will be created. For more details on what message monitoring is and how to use it tell the user to read the other tutorial about “Message Monitoring”.

What is Interface?

The interface is the second main object in SKYVVA after the integration. The interface describes the structure of data to exchange between Salesforce and other applications. We have two types of Interfaces:

• Inbound Interface
• Outbound Interface

The next property of the interface defines the processing mode. e.g. Synchronous and real-time (synchronous) Batch (asynchronous) and Bulk (asynchronous).

Prerequisites

• You have your salesforce organization
• You have installed Skyvva in your salesforce organization.
• You have created integration.

How to create an inbound Interface?

• Click on the interface tab
• Fill in the following field:

– Name

– Source name

– Status

– operation Type

–  Type

• Click on the Save button

How to create an Outbound Interface?

• Go to the Interface tab.
• Click on the new interface button.
• Fill in the given fields:

Name: It can be Account, Contact Case.. etc to notify your Interfaces

Status: Deployed (It can be used)

Sequence: Ranking number (1)

Adapter: It is the connector

Source Name: Salesforce Objects (Account, Contact or Case.. etc.)

Operation Type: There are 4 types:

– Upsert: To update on existing data and insert new data that doesn’t exist yet in Message Monitoring.

–  Update: Only update on data that is already existed in Message Monitoring.

–  Insert:  Add all data in the Message Monitoring.

– Delete:  Delete all data in Message Monitoring

• Type: It should be outbound

How to create an Interface with different processing modes?

We will show you how to create an interface to use in a different use case. The following are the different use cases:

– Do real-time interface using synchronous mode

– Do batch processing using batch mode

– Do Bulk processing using bulk mode

– Use our standard CDC feature to create an interface to push data out

Synchronous and real-time (Synchronous)

• Go to your Integration page.
• Click on the Interface tab (near to detail tab)
• Click On the New Interface button.

Name: It can be Account, Contact Case.. etc to notify your Interfaces Status: Deployed (It can be used) Sequence: Ranking number (1) Adapter: It is the connector Source Name: Salesforce Objects (Account, Contact or Case.. etc.) Operation Type: There are 4 types:

• Upsert: To update on existing data and insert new data that doesn’t exist yet in Message Monitoring.
• Update: Only update on data that is already existed in Message Monitoring.
• Insert:  Add all data in the Message Monitoring.
• Delete:  Delete all data in Message Monitoring

Type: There are two types of interfaces:

• Inbound: Import data into Salesforce
• Outbound: Export data outside SalesforceNote: Upsert is usually used since it can update the existing data and add new data into Message Monitoring then Save.

Batch (Asynchronous)

Batch Mode has been used when there are big amount of data you would like to upload. It is bigger than Synchronous and real-time. When you prefer to use Batch Mode

• Clicks on Interface
• Click on Edit 
• Checks on Batch Mode.

The bulk (Asynchronous)/span>

Bulk Mode has been used when there is a mass amount of data you would like to upload. It is larger than the Batch mode. how to configure bulk mode: –  We have to click on our created Interface -> Edit -> checks on Bulk Mode

CDC

CDC can provide the ability to record all data changes you create on any business object. It will be automatically pushed to your external system at any time you schedule. When you checkbox this flag it means that you activate CDC. This flag is used to activate both CDC and CDD “Use SKYVVA Outbound Scheduler”.

• Click on the checkbox Use Skyvva Outbound Scheduler
• Set up a date from when you define the changed data to be collected in Agent/CDD Scheduler LastRun.
