Writeback Objects

Every Data Processing Engine definition must have at least one writeback object node. You can add up to twenty writeback object nodes in your definitions. A writeback object node can write back transformed data from only one source node.

Based on the runtime, you can choose to write back to a Salesforce object, a JSON, an analytics dataset, data lake object, or data model object.

You can also write back transformed data to virtual objects that store records in an external system instead of in your Salesforce org. Data Processing Engine supports writeback only to Apache HBase-backed virtual objects for CRM Analytics and Data 360 runtime definitions. Use the object's external ID field in the writeback object node's field mapping to match records for upsert. Make sure that you have the required object and field-level security (FLS) permissions and access for the virtual object before you write back to it.

Note You can write back results to Salesforce Shield encrypted fields.
