 Application Tabs: You can explore these tabs in Xetfer:≠

• Connections
• Templates
• Jobs
• Runs
• Files
• Settings

Connection Tab

The Connection tab allows you to easily connect any type of Salesforce organization, such as production environments, sandboxes, scratch orgs, or developer orgs to the Xetfer App. Each “Connection” record contains the necessary information for accessing these orgs during data migration. After creating connections, you can use it to migrate data between them as needed.

Adding a New Connection flow: 

Template Tab

The Template tab helps create and manage data migration templates. You choose the source connection and receive a list of all sObjects associated with that connection. You have the ability to select specific fields of the sObject that you wish to transfer.

On template, you have the option to add criteria filters to narrow down the scope of records being migrated. Alternatively, you have the flexibility to write a custom SOQL query.

To anonymize data, navigate to the MODIFICATIONS tab on the Template. Here, you can substitute value to sensitive fields such as phone numbers, emails, or any other field as needed using modifications.

Job Tab

Jobs records allow you to map templates and destinations connection for data migration.

Run Tab

View detailed information about job executions, including In-progress, Successful and Failed migrations.

Files Tab

The Files tab enables you to generate files using Xetfer Data Generation or upload your CSV files containing prepared data. These files can then be utilized within templates to substitute data dynamically from the files into fields. This feature allows for dynamic data anonymization instead of relying on constant values. However, keep in mind that raw import (like Dataloader) from file is not supported, Xetfer in the current version can only substitute data from files to records from source during migration.
