Step 1 - Activate a Salesforce Profile

• You will be prompted to activate a Salesforce Profile after selecting a Project in the GenRocket web platform.
  
  
• Click on the desired Salesforce Profile to select it.
  
  

• Click the Yes button to activate the selected profile.
  
  
  Note: If you have not created a Salesforce Profile, please see this article to learn how to do so: How Do I Create a Salesforce Profile in GenRocket?

Step 2 - Retrieve the List of Salesforce Objects

• Click the New Domain button within the Domains pane.
  
  

• Select Import from Salesforce.
  
  

• Click the Load Objects button to load your Salesforce Objects.
  
  

• All Salesforce Objects will be loaded and displayed within the pop-up window.
  
  
• Here, you can view each Salesforce Object in your environment.
  
  

Step 3 - Create a GenRocket Domain

To create a GenRocket Domain, you must finish importing the Salesforce Object.

• Use the Filter field or the Page viewing options to view your Salesforce Objects.
  
  
• Tick the radio button to select a Salesforce Object to be imported into a GenRocket Domain.
  
  
• For this example, the AccountPOC_c Object has been selected.
  
  
• Click the Next button after making your selection.
  
  

• Next, select the Fields to be included within the created Domain. 
  
  
• Check the box for each desired field. 
  
  
• You may also use the Select All or Deselect All options to quickly select or remove all selections.
  
  
• Click the Next button to continue with the import.
  
  

• The selected Salesforce Object and Fields will be imported into a GenRocket Domain.
  
  

• Each selected field for the Salesforce Object will be a Domain Attribute in GenRocket.
  
  

Step 4 - Generate Test Data

A few configuration changes and steps are necessary before generating and inserting test data back into Salesforce in real time.

Step 4a - Replace the Generator for the name Attribute

To generate more accurate test data, the name Attribute Generator will need to be replaced with the F500Name2014Gen Generator. This will produce a list of Fortune 500 Companies from 2014.

• Click on an Attribute within the Domain Dashboard to view its Generator configuration.
  
  
• For this example, the name Attribute will be selected, and its Generator will be changed.
  
  

• The Generator configuration will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
  
  
• We want to replace the current Generator with the F500Name2014Gen Generator.
  
  
• Click on the Quick Generator Replacement Menu and type F500Name2014Gen.
  
   

• Click to select the F500Name2014Gen Generator and then click the Replace button.
  
  

• Make any needed changes to the Generator configuration.
  
  
• Click on any field to type a new value or use the drop-down menus to make a selection.
  
  
• Click the Save Generator button to save your changes once finished.
  
  

Step 4b - Alter the Generator Configuration for the shippingCity Attribute

Next, we need to ensure the billingCity and shippingCity Attributes do not create different data.

• Click on the shippingCity Attribute within the Domain Dashboard.
  
  

• Select false for the autoReference configuration parameter.
  
  
• Click the Save Generator button.
  
  

Step 4c - Change the Account Domain global loopCount to 20

A Domain's loopCount determines how many records of test data are generated. This information can be changed from the Domain Dashboard.

• Click on the Edit (Pencil) icon to change this value.
  
  

• Click on the Value field and enter a number value. For this example, 20 will be entered.
  
  
• Click the Save button to finish.
  
  

Step 4d - Review the SFObjectInsertReceiver Configuration

• The SFObjectInsertReceiver will be automatically added and configured for the Domain.
  
  
• It can be viewed by clicking on SFObjectInsertReceiver within the Domain Dashboard.
  
  

• The parameter configuration for the SFObjectInsertReceiver will appear as shown below for this example:
  
  

• Click on the Attribute Property Keys Tab to see the configuration of the property keys.
  
  

Step 4e - Create a Scenario for Generating Test Data

Next, you will need to create a Scenario for the GenRocket Domain. Complete the following steps: 

• In the Domain Dashboard, click the Quick Scenario button in the Domain Scenarios pane.
  
  

• The Name will be automatically populated and match the Domain Name.
  
  
• You may change the name if desired or add a Description.
  
  
• Click the Save button to finish.
  
  

• You will be redirected to the Scenario Dashboard, as shown below.
  
  
• Here, you can make any needed configuration changes before generating and inserting data back into Salesforce.
  
  

Step 5 - Insert Test Data into Salesforce via REST

• Click the Execute From Web button.
  
  
• The data will be dynamically generated and inserted into Salesforce in real time.
  
  

• Once the data has been generated, you can immediately go into Salesforce and see the results.
