Salesforce shops, including ourselves, have been eagerly anticipating external object support with reports. Starting in Winter ’17, you can build native reports with on-demand access to external data sources such as Oracle, SQL Server, Greenplum, Amazon Redshift, IBM DB2 or Hadoop Big Data Platforms. External objects are powered by Salesforce Connect and provide clicks-not-code data access for admins, devs and general users. But is all of this too good to be true?
During this webinar, you’ll learn:
- Introduce External Objects and their new capabilities for Reporting and Wave trending in Winter ‘17
- How to setup Salesforce report with external data sources
- How to produce OData from warehouses, marts, lakes or other reporting systems.
