Hello Prashant,

I am not sure why you are going with that approach when IDT provides you direct access to SalesForce as a Database middleware as suggested by Ravi.

Could you please follow the instructions provided by Ravi and let us know if you are stuck somewhere?

Hi Niraj

the problem is it looks like someone has deleted that wiki entry and replaced it with another that's suggesting buying new drivers from another company

I'm also interested in getting salesforce.com info into DesignStudio via IDT. I have 4 separate SFDC instances to integrate with SAP CRM data in a single dashboard.

thanks

I get following error if I directly try to connect:-

Ravi, I was following the exact steps offered in the link you provided. If you go to the link, there is another link 'Salesforce Middleware' I followed steps mentioned in there that's where I got stuck.

Hi Prasanth,

Please check, Is it a 32-bit Drivers in your system.I think If it is a 64-bit drivers it's not working .
