Configuring Salesforce external objects for search optimization
Hybrid Data Pipeline provides
the ability to configure which tables and columns are included in a search to optimize
performance and avoid overloading database resources. If you use Salesforce to access
external objects, and want to take advantage of Hybrid Data Pipeline's optimization, you must configure the
Salesforce external data source to accept the Hybrid Data Pipeline
ddsearch parameter. This can improve the performance of
the OData queries generated by Salesforce to search your external objects.
To do this for an existing external data source, log into your Salesforce
account and follow these steps:
- Navigate to the External Data Source Edit screen.
- Make sure that Include in Salesforce Searches is enabled.
- In the Custom Query Option for
Salesforce Search field, enter
ddsearchas shown below:
- Save your changes.
Note: Navigation to the External Data
Source screen differs depending on the type of Salesforce account you
have. See your Salesforce documentation for more
information.
