SSIS Components for Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Build 25.0.9434

ImportDefinition

Defines a reusable pattern of import options. This table does not support inserts.

Table-Specific Information

Select

The component uses the Salesforce Marketing Cloud APIs to process the following WHERE clause operators for all but date-time values: =, !=, <>, >, >=, <, <=, IN. For date-time values, only > and < are supported. The component processes other filters client-side within the component.

For example, the following (but not only) queries are processed server side: 

SELECT * FROM ImportDefinition WHERE ObjectID = 'nzxcaslkjd-123'

SELECT * FROM ImportDefinition WHERE ObjectID IN ('nzxcaslkjd-123', 'nzxcaslkjd-456')

SELECT * FROM ImportDefinition WHERE CreatedDate > '2017/01/25'

Update

You must specify the ObjectId in the WHERE clause when executing an update against this table. 

UPDATE ImportDefinition SET Name = 'Changed' WHERE ObjectId = 'nzxcaslkjd-123'

Delete

You must specify the ObjectId in the WHERE clause when executing a delete against this table. 

DELETE FROM ImportDefinition WHERE ObjectId = 'nzxcaslkjd-123'
