MULE –Anypoint Data Gateway

2

Overview

Anypoint Data Gateway allows you to quickly and easily integrate data

stored in legacy back-office systems with Salesforce. Data Gateway lets

you access your data from within Salesforce itself, using a simple point-

and-click visual interface to wield the full functionality of Salesforce on your

external data.

Data Gateway supports integration with systems such as SAP, Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL and others. Connecting to these systems is instantaneous – just fill in the parameters such as host, user, etc. and you’re done. The ability to quickly connect with diverse back-office systems eliminates the need to create separate design environments, or to implement extensive training for Salesforce users.

Data Gateway is a Salesforce package which you install via Salesforce AppExchange. After you isntall the package, you can access the Data Gateway Designer, which allows you to quickly and easily create a new gateway to your desired external data source. After you’ve configured your gateway, you can publish it – make it available to the external entities that you specify – as well as see existing objects in your data source, and create new objects.
