Overview
Delphix’s Select Connector for Salesforce is targeted at helping organizations manage sensitive Salesforce data between development environments, without inducing a
trade-off between speed and compliance.
1. The Masking features give organizations the ability to mask and utilize their Salesforce data in tandem with the rest of their data ecosystem.
2. The Data Protect & Version features address Salesforce Data Backup & Recovery requirements, allowing organizations to keep a robust time flow of their Salesforce
environment, and recover in case of an incident.
Masking
Mask Salesforce via JDBC
The key value here is masking with realistic data and retaining referential integrity across data sources masked with Delphix
Salesforce metadata packages can slow down masking performance or even cause masking failure. The Delphix solution addresses this issue by
disabling metadata
packages pre-masking and re-enabling them post-masking.
Sensitive fields in the out-of-the-box Salesforce schema are pre-identified and assigned with the corresponding masking algorithm,
for all of the tables that come
standard with Salesforce. This accelerates launch, reducing QA effort, and minimizes error risk.
Note
Customers with the Select Connector for Salesforce SKU will be entitled to all features from both Masking and Data Protect & Version - we are providing a single solution for Salesforce
needs.

Backup data from a Salesforce Org of choice (e.g. Production or Live Org) and create a dSource
Schedule periodic backups from the source Salesforce Org and create a dSource timeline
Restore data into a Salesforce Org (Production or Sandbox) from a specific Salesforce backup in the dSource timeline
During the dSource creation, users will be able to choose a full backup (all objects in their Salesforce Org) or a partial backup (a subset of objects in their Salesforce Org).
Note
The Salesforce platform does not allow direct database access. So, to move large volumes of data in and out, Delphix Data Protect & Version uses Bulk API v2.0.
Solution Overview
Components
The SDM is the component that communicates with Salesforce for Data Backup and Data Restore.
SDM will perform these operations with a sufficient degree of parallelism in order to ensure optimal backup and restore performance.

SDM also includes a light-weight database that maintains the required state and history of all operations performed by SDM.
If a specific list of objects is provided, Delphix automatically identifies and downloads any other object(s) that are required for a successful restore of these objects. The
dSource will contain data for the provided objects and all required parent objects.
As part of the provision operation, Delphix rebuilds the relationships between records as they existed in the source Salesforce Org.
