Mapping Field Definitions

The mapping file consists of the following constructs in the JSON file:

Table 1. Mapping Fields
Mapping Field Name Required Default Value Description
description false none Mapping description
isActive false true Status of mapping
reltioObjectType true none Reltio entity type URI
sobject|sobject{type, recordTypeId, startField, endField} true none Object with next attributes:
  • type - Salesforce Object, example (Account,Contact)
  • recordTypeId - Record Type Id of the particular Salesforce Object, example (01234000001ABcDAAA)
  • startField - Specifies a field name of SObject that contains a reference to the start object of the relation
  • endField - Specifies a field name of SObject that contains a reference to the end object of the relation
Note: The startField and endField details are required for objects of the relation type only.

Example:

sobject : {
    type: Account,
    recordTypeId : "01234000001ABcDAAA"
}
sfdcSource false none Salesforce crosswalk type
relation false true for relation types Specifies that this mapping entry is a custom object relation. This must be set to true for relation types.
startObjectType For relation types only none Reltio entity type for the start object of the relation.
endObjectType For relation types only none Reltio entity type for the end object of the relation
to_salesforce false none Mapping of field for replication from Reltio to Salesforce
to_salesforce/filter false none Salesforce to Reltio filter for entire entity. For example: [equals(attributes.SyncFlag, True)]
to_salesforce/attributeMapping true none List of one to one attribute mappings
/attributeMapping/sfdcAttrName true none Salesforce field Name
/attributeMapping/value true none Value that must be propagated to the Salesforce object. Possible values are:
  • Operational value from the entity URI. For example, configuration/entityTypes/Org/attributes/Name
  • Apply transformation function before sending the field value
to_salesforce/relatedObjects false none List of the Salesforce object related to the root Salesforce object
/relatedObjects/sobject|sobject{type,recordTypeId} true none Related object with attributes:
  • type - SObject type, ex(Address_vod__c,Contact)
  • recordTypeId - Record Type Id for particular SObject, ex(01234000001ABcDAAA)
Example:

sobject : Address_vod__c

sobject : {

type: Address_vod__c,

recordTypeId : “01234000001ABcDAAA”

}
/relatedObjects/filter false none Filter criteria for relation objects while replicating data from Reltio to Salesforce. For example: [equals(configuration/entityTypes/Org/attributes/Address/attributes/Rank,1)]
/relatedObjects/relationshipName false none Relationship names of the related object. Example: Address_vod__r

By default, must get first relationship in Salesforce

/relatedObjects/rootUri false none Reltio attribute URI
/relatedObjects/recordTypeId false none
/relatedObjects/attributeMapping true none List of one to one mapping for the related object.
/relatedObjects/attributeMapping/sfdcAttrName true none

Salesforce object attribute name

Salesforce object fields that are External ID fields cannot be mapped.

/relatedObjects/attributeMapping/value true none Value that must be propagated to the Salesforce object. Possible values are:
  • Operational value from the entity URI. For example, configuration/entityTypes/Org/attributes/Name
  • Apply transformation function before sending the field value
/deleteRelatedObjects false none Custom Salesforce objects mapped to a nested entity attribute will be removed if the entire nested attribute is removed in Reltio platform.
/relations false none List of objects. Multiple relation types are supported for entity types applicable only for Salesforce lookup relations. It must be configured for a child Salesforce object that has a special field with a reference ID to the parent object.
/relations/relationType true none This is the Relation type defined in Reltio metadata. The startObject type defined in relation metadata should be present in the mapping and match the parent Reltio object type defined in the mapping (type inheritance is not supported). The endObject type defined in relation metadata should match the Reltio object type defined in mapping where relation is configured (type inheritance is not supported). For example: configuration/relationTypes/Affiliation.
/relations/sfdcAttrName true none This is the Salesforce object field name that contains a reference to the parent object (Salesforce lookup relation). The Parent object type is determined by Salesforce metadata and should match to the Salesforce object type defined in parent object mapping.
to_reltio false none Defines mapping of fields to be replicated from Salesforce to Reltio
to_reltio/filter false none Filter criteria for the object to be replicated to Reltio. For example [equals(attributes.Name, Main Street)]. Same structure as other Reltio filters.
to_reltio/attributeMapping true none List of one to one attribute mapping
/attributeMapping/uri true none Reltio entity URI
/attributeMapping/value true none Value that must be propagated to the Salesforce object. Possible values are:
  • uri - For example: configuration/entityTypes/Org/attributes/Name - always get FIRST OV value.
  • Function concation:
    • =source - same as URI or string
    • concat
    • split
    • get
    • equals
  • Can contain another attribute mapping:

    For example: =source(configuration/entityTypes/Organization/attributes/WebsiteURL).split('.').get(1)

  • Allow to join first and last name to the full name.
/attributeMapping/sobject false none Can be string (recordTypeId is Master Record Type) or object with next attributes:
  • type - SObject type. For example (Address_vod__c,Contact)
  • recordTypeId - Record Type Id of particular SObject. For example - (01234000001ABcDAAA)
Example:

sobject : Address_vod__c

sobject : {

type: Address_vod__c,

recordTypeId : “01234000001ABcDAAA”

}
/attributeMapping/filter false none Filter criteria for the entire entity. For example - [equals(attributes.Name, Main Street)]

Same structure as other Reltio filters.

/attributeMapping/compoundFieldName false none Must be filled with compoundFieldName for embedded Address. Example: ShippingAddress
/attributeMapping/forceRefEntityMerge false true forceRefEntityMerge allows you to create new values for reference attributes instead of updating the existing operational values (OV). For example, when a user changes address in Salesforce, the connector creates a new location attribute instead of updating the existing location with new values that become OVs. Match rule is used to merge the values.

If the forceRefEntityMerge parameter is set to true (the default value) or not specified, then the current behaviour of updating the existing values in OV continues.

If the forceRefEntityMerge parameter is set to false, then new values for the reference attribute are created.

If the forceRefEntityMerge parameter is specified for a Salesforce attribute mapped to Reltio's simple or nested attribute, it will be ignored.

/relations false none Array of objects. Multiple relation types are supported for Sobject.
/relations/relationType true none This is the Relation type defined in Reltio metadata. For example: configuration/relationTypes/Contact.
/relations/sfdcAttrName true none This is the Sobject field name that contains a reference to the parent.
