8 Cloud to Cloud integrations In many ways, Cloud-to-Cloud integrations are no different than other integrations. But, they have some unique characteristics. Cloud-to-Cloud RESTful OAuth authentication JSON No Middleware Social data No network/infrastructure reqs Other SOAP/WSDL Username/pwd XML Middleware (often) Business /transactional data Network/Infrastructure reqs

10 Outbound integrations Apex Callouts Force.com toolkits Outbound Messaging Apex (Outbound)

11 Apex Callouts Use Apex to invoke a WSDL/SOAP or REST service Oracle Web Service Apex class or trigger initiates the callout Apex Client Legacy Web Service Provider REST API Legacy Systems Google Web Service

12 Demo Apex callout to LinkedIn 1. Use OAuth Apex client to authenticate with LinkedIn 2. Store OAuth token in Salesforce 3. User updates their Chatter status with #linkedin hashtag 4. Invoke LinkedIn REST API to update User s LinkedIn Status Apex HTTP callout

13 Apex Callouts Important Considerations Apex can invoke a WSDL/SOAP or REST service Remember Governor Limits Payload size limit 3MB # of Callouts in a transaction 10 Maximum timeout for all callouts 120 sec Callouts from Triggers have to be made asynchronously Any DML operations have to be performed after the callout Writing test classes for external callouts requires special considerations Use JSON Code Share project to parse JSON data Native JSON support in Apex actively being worked on (Safe Harbor applies) Remember to add service URL to Remote Site Settings

14 Apex Callouts and security Apex Callouts supports two-way SSL (aka client side certificates) Can also set custom HTTP security headers Use the OAuth Playground Code Share project for client side OAuth 1.0a

15 Toolkits for Outbound Integrations Native Force.com (Apex/Visualforce) wrappers for Google Data APIs Amazon Web Services Facebook (Beta) Twitter And. Salesforce for Twitter and Facebook (and other AppExchange packages)

17 Inbound integrations Force.com APIs SOAP, REST, Chatter REST (Pilot), Bulk Apex Web Services SOAP, REST (Pilot) Force.com toolkits

18 There is an API for that Scenario Thousands to millions of records Synchronous processing required REST/JSON preferred Lightweight client library preferred/required Process Chatter data Hundreds of millions of records Async. processing ok SOAP API REST API API Chatter REST API (Pilot) Bulk API Most commonly used for Cloud-2- Cloud integrations

19 Apex Web Services Expose custom Apex logic as SOAP and/or RESTful (Pilot in Summer 11) services Use Apex Web Services to implement custom business logic (e.g. transactions) or expose a customized service interface

20 Toolkits for Inbound Integrations Platform/Language native wrappers of the SOAP API for Ruby (Heroku) PHP (AWS, PHP Fog etc.) Windows Azure Google App Engine

21 Inbound Integration sample Facebook PHP App querying Jobs data from Force.com

23 Hybrid integrations Integration typically initiated by an outbound call from Force.com External cloud application then makes a callback to retrieve/update Force.com data

24 Demo PDF merge in Google App Engine 1. Invoke GAE service with Record Ids to merge 2. Authenticate with Force.com using OAuth 3. Retrieve PDF Attachments (Force.com REST API) 4. Perform PDF Merge 5. Insert merged PDF as Attachment record ( Force.com REST API)
