Salesforce Data Cloud Ingestion from Confluence - Implementation Template

The comprehensive instructions on this page show how to configure data sources and deploy applications to MuleSoft Anypoint Platform. Users are guided through the essential steps needed for successful deployments in two different scenarios:

• Deploying via MuleSoft Direct
• Deploying via Anypoint Platform

Data source configurations

The Confluence Cloud REST API v2 is used for interacting with Confluence. In addition, Webhooks must be pre-registered in Confluence to allow change events to flow into the Mule application. Download this asset and use the Postman collection in the /src/test/resources folder to create the Webhooks by configuring the collection variables as required.

Deploying via MuleSoft Direct

To enable the ingestion of unstructured data into Data Cloud this application must first be deployed using MuleSoft Direct. When enabling the integration, the following properties must be configured to connect with the data source and target system.

Additional configuration steps

After the application has been deployed there are some additional configuration steps that should be done within Anypoint Runtime Manager. The following instructions are for CloudHub 2.0 deployments but the steps are similar for CloudHub deployments.

• Find the deployed application by entering the name in the Search Applications field.
• Click on the application name or select the entry and click the Manage Application button on the right. For CloudHub 2.0 deployments, a screen appears with multiple tabs to configure the application (for CloudHub deployments you will need to click the Settings item on the left navigation bar).
• Update the Runtime Version to the latest patch release and select the Use Object Store V2 checkbox under the Runtime Options section.
• Consider increasing the number and size of the replicas (workers) if the source container being monitored has a large number of resources and/or a high volume of changes.
• Click the Apply Changes to deploy the new configuration

Deploying via Anypoint Platform

To support the ingestion of unstructured data into Data Cloud the application must first be deployed from MuleSoft Direct in order to create the required connector (in Data Cloud); once deployed the application can be updated in Anypoint Runtime Manager as needed.

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.

Deployment

Each Accelerator implementation template in Exchange includes Bash and Windows scripts for building and deploying the APIs to CloudHub and CloudHub 2.0. 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, like Anypoint Platform client ID and secret.

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

Required property overrides

Many templates can also be run from Anypoint Studio or Anypoint Code Builder without having to customize the Run/Debug profiles. However, some templates make use of hidden deployment properties to protect sensitive information, like 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.
