Hi All,

I am working on the requirement of Parent-child Task hierarchical relationship.

Salesforce Activity Object does not support Lookup relationships to other object or addition of Self relationship.

Is there any way using custom field to implement multilevel parent-child activity relationship in SFDC.

Thank you Board.

Hi All,

We are working on POC and trying to integrate SFDC System with Siebel Webservice within VPN.

WSDL file has been imported into SFDC and remote settings point to Siebel server URL. When we try to make a Webservice callout we get an error:-

10:15:09.110 (60110303000)|FATAL_ERROR|System.CalloutException: IO Exception: Read timed out

Siebel System resides behind the firewall and client is reluctant to open-up a firewall to such a large IP Range. We are trying to make a callout without a firewall burn within the VPN.

Is there any other settings/configuration required to achieve this callout to Siebel Webservice within VPN.

Can we use any other tool/mechanism to connect to Siebel System without opening such a large IP Range. Is it possible to limit the IP Range for an SFDC instance.

Please reply in case you have dealt with similar integration. Thank you.

Hello,

We are having two CRM Systems, SFDC and Siebel. To support our business processes, we require SFDC UI to be invoked from Siebel application.

So a user starts from Siebel performing some account management selects an account, clicks a button or link which invokes SFDC application and lands directly on leads or opportunity view for the same customer.

The idea is to provide successful toggling between two applications so that business operations are performed.

We have analysed that we can implement SSO to handle user authentication beween two systems. I would like to know:-
- Which type of authentication (Delegated/Fedrated) will be the best fit.
- Does Siebel support SAML Authentication to implement Federated SSO?
- Is there any other way apart from SSO which can be used to handle this requirement.

Thank you for your help on this.

VJ

We are moving API web services into SFDC to a more appropriate location on our network.  In the process, we are having to open up the firewall for the endpoint for these services.  Our network admins are configuring this based on IP (and not by URL).  I have seen a number of regex answers for doing this against the URL but none by IP.  My concern is the range of possible endpoints that SFDC will send back in the LoginResult.  I would hate to add these IPs to the pile as they are encountered.

(Currently the firewall is not an issue, which is why it is not an appropriate location.)

I have not been able to find anything for this issue in the vast SFDC docs.  Surely we are not the only one to encounter this.  Any ideas?

(asking the network admins to do it different is not an acceptable option)
