Creating an Adapter Datastore

Create an adapter datastore for the Simba Salesforce SAP Data Services Adapter so that you can use the adapter to work with Salesforce.com metadata in the Designer.

To create an adapter datastore:

  1. Start SAP Data Services Designer.
  2. In the Local Object Library pane located in the lower-left part of the screen, click the Datastores tab, then right-click inside the pane, and then click New.
  3. Use the options in the Create New Datastore dialog box to configure your adapter datastore:
    1. In the Datastore Name field, type a unique name for your adapter datastore.
    2. From the Datastore Type drop-down list, select Adapter.
    3. From the Job Server drop-down list, select the Job Server on which the Simba Salesforce SAP Data Services Adapter is installed and running.
    4. From the Adapter Instance Name drop-down list, select the Simba Salesforce SAP Data Services Adapter instance that you created.
    5. To configure advanced options for the datastore, click Advanced to expand the options pane. For more information, see Advanced Options.
  4. To save your settings and create the datastore, click OK.

The datastore appears in the Local Object Library pane. You can now use the Simba Salesforce SAP Data Services Adapter to access metadata from Salesforce.com.
