Salesforce Adapter in Oracle ICS(Integration Cloud Service)

Integration Cloud Service provide a powerful adapter that is called Salesforce adapter being used to create connection with Salesforce CRM application.

The Salesforce adapter provides the following advantages:

• Integrates easily with the Salesforce application’s WSDL file to produce a simplified, integration-centric WSDL.
• Contacts the Salesforce application to fetch metadata information about business objects.
• Provides invoke (outbound) support for using a custom WSDL that includes custom Apex classes exposed as SOAP web services.
• Provides trigger (source) messaging support for objects through use of the Salesforce outbound messaging WSDL.
• Provides trigger (source) callback support.
• Provide invoke support for CRUD (create, get, update, and destroy) operations
• Provide invoke support for Salesforce Object Query Language (SOQL) or Salesforce Object Search Language (SOSL) query operations
