RCG Salesforce Consumer Goods Cloud System API - Implementation Template

This API implementation template is a component of the MuleSoft Accelerator for Consumer Goods, which accelerate the implementation of essential integration use cases.

The solution includes pre-built APIs, connectors, and integration templates that help unlock business-critical data from external systems and guide you in adopting best practices synthesized from thousands of customer implementations. Use these assets as is or extend them to meet your company’s unique needs.

Overview

This integration template implements the Salesforce CG Cloud System API specification. It can be used to retrieve, create, and update Products, Customers, Hierarchy data and KPI Visits data.

Getting started

The Getting Started with MuleSoft Accelerators guide provides general information on getting started with the accelerator components. This includes instructions on setting up your local workstation for configuring and deploying the applications.

Once your workstation has been set up and the application template imported into Anypoint Studio, proceed with the Prerequisites section.

Prerequisites

This implementation template has the following dependency:

• Custom fields

Custom fields

The following fields must be created in the corresponding objects.

Create Custom Field manually via Salesforce

To create each of these custom fields and enable visibility for them on page layouts:

1. Click the Salesforce Setup icon.
2. Select the Object Manager tab from the Setup home page.
3. Find and select the target Salesforce object.
4. Select the Fields & Relationships page.
5. Click the New button and create the field as specified above.
6. Once the field has been created, click the Set Field-Level Security button (or do these steps later - see below).
7. Enable for desired profile, or tick the checkbox next to Visible to enable visibility for the desired profile(s).

Repeat these steps for each custom field in the above list.

Tip: Instead of adjusting permissions for each field as you go, if you are only making them available to one or two profiles it may be more efficient to go to the Users -> Profiles -> {profile} -> Object Settings for each object and adjust the permissions for multiple fields at once.

Deployment

Each Accelerator implementation template in Exchange includes Bash and Windows scripts for building and deploying the APIs to CloudHub. These scripts depend on repositories, global settings, deployment profiles, and associated properties configured in the Maven settings.xml file. In particular, make sure the common properties for your environment have been provided in the CloudHub-DEV profile (e.g., Anypoint Platform client ID and secret).

For additional details, please refer to the Application Deployment section of the Getting Started Guide.

Preparation

Ensure the Maven profile CloudHub-RCG-DEV has been properly configured in your settings.xml file. In particular, make sure the common properties for your environment have been provided (e.g., Anypoint Platform client ID and secret).

Required property overrides

Many templates can also be run from Anypoint Studio without having to customize the Run/Debug profiles. However, some templates make use of hidden deployment properties to protect sensitive information (e.g., passwords and secret keys). These properties must be supplied to the runtime by updating the configuration profile and adding them as VM arguments. At a minimum, the following properties must be customized to reflect the target deployment environment.
