• Why my Cloud connectors expire with Eloqua password?

  I recently added some calculator cloud connectors to my innate program date. Then my Eloqua password expired recently. Apparently, this caused all my Cloud Connector passwords also expire.

  1. Why did I not receive an email notice that all these connectors cloud has expired and therefore caused my stall programs?
  2. How can I prevent my cloud connectors to exhale with my password? It is such an inconvenience to have to go back in every single program and re - enter new password Eloqua.

  Hi Krista, Eloqua our peeps can correct me if this is not correct, but I think that the solution for this is to set up a new user in Eloqua with access to the API. The value that the user so that they do not have to change the password, then press the shoulder of your support rep first to make sure this password does not expire. At least that's what (I believe) we come to one of our cloud connectors that we have put in place the week last with the help of our representative.

• Is someone using the data cloud connector Melissa with Eloqua

  We are in the middle of our integration and try to make calls from Melissa Data of our Eloqua forms.  Anyone out there who did or can provide an overview?

  I understand that if someone used this service in real time - if a person completes a form and between a postal code invalid - in real-time we ping Melissa Data to know it is a zip code not valid, and the person filling out the form receives a message that is not valid the data.  Our territory lead routing depends on ensuring that we correct geographic information if we want the data validated in real time.  Thank you!

  Maia,

  I could be wrong, but I'm not aware of a Melissa data cloud connector which was built immediately.  From what I know, I think that David York (on this thread) may be closest on that.  There are other people interested too, can't wait to see it built.

• With the help of Cloud Connector to replace the native integration of SFDC of Eloqua

  I was discussing an idea today and I want to run it by the community here to get feedback and validation.

  We have a customer wants to integrate their instance Eloqua with a CRM unsupported by Eloqua.

  The customer likes the idea and the logic of the program generator and copy the programs that come by default with any which Eloqua instance for integration with SFDC.

  The clinet will build a service bus to manage the integration between their CRM and Eloqua.

  The question here is can the stages of the program changed to call their internal service bus using the cloud connector (ExternalService) instead of calling the natives calls SFDC integration event?

  I assume here they will build different methods in their bus server to manage create leads and contacts and update leads and contacts similar to event integration calls.

  Also here I'm not talking about the auto-synch functionlaity I just need to check out this concept and see if anyone already implmeneted before or not.

  Also, if anyone has problems with it let me know I would like to cover all the bases before going with this idea.

  I think that theoretically it should work without any problems and it is a big plus to take advantage of the use of the program generator to control the flow of the integration logic.

  Kind regards

  Nader

  The question you ask is:

  Can I use generator program and custom integrations to CRM cloud connectors.  Effectively, you need to replace the native integration API steps with no cloud to your program/middleware.

  The quick answer is Yes.   The thing to know is the number of steps (API has a limit of simultaneous connection 5 hard) and the number of API calls.   You would like to make an analysis of the frequency and volume of lead and contact updates to CRM in order to determine whether it is the right solution.  Based on the frequency and the volume you need business logic to live outside of Eloqua.  Using a middleware like Informatica product allows to build it in a workflow environment and you allows to exploit the DTS WSDL (E9) allows a high volume of documents.

• Between in contact with Stuck in Cloud connectors (update: no more)

  We have expereiced a number of issues today where contacts were stuck in cloud connector program steps, for an unusual amount of time.  Someone has seen something similar?

  By using the form submit CC, there were about 63 stuck (at least 8 hours and at a time of Contact data normalizer, there are thousands, blocked for more than 12 hours.

  Problem seems to be resolved. Members are moving now.  I'll return when they all went through stages of cc.

  Can someone tell me what went wrong, and how the Eloqua production solved?   If anything, I would like to know how to quickly fix in the case where it recurrs.

• Get an Association of Eloqua data profiles in a cloud connector

  Hi Topliner!

  First question and first post so apologies if the wording is a little weak. Anyway,.

  I am developing a new connector of Cloud and Cloud component for Eloqua for my business.

  I want to data of my company in the Eloqua system database. the issue is that im not sure how I would map the data of a Contact. The proof of identity, I can draw from my database is the eloqua of the visitor cookie, but how would approach I mapping to the Eloqua contact in a cloud connector?

  Thanks for the time!

  You have the e-mail address of the contact in your system?  It is the way I see used most often.

  Another way would be to have your cloud component ask the contact ID of the frame.  When your component is rendered, you can use the substitution of parameters, as described here http://topliners.eloqua.com/community/do_it/blog/2012/02/28/building-cloud-components-the-endpoints--renderinstance.  The framework will pass the ID of the Contact (if known) to the person accessing the page.  You'll then have something to put a link on your update of the data.

  Make sense?

• Salesforce to Eloqua - new created contact

  Hello-

  We are in the phase of search to Eloqua and Salesforce integration. Our first big question: If a contact is created in Salesforce, they are automatically synchronized to Eloqua? If the contact does not exist in Eloqua, will created a new?

  Any useful information that you can send my way to start-up is appreciated.

  Thank you

  Sam

  UPDATE: A class of education Eloqua "System Integrations." He did an amazing job to clear up many of my initial questions on Eloqua and Salesforce integration. Highly recommend!

  HI Samantha,

  Yes your contacts will be automatically synchronized to Eloqua with the "Auto sync" feature in Eloqua.

  Thank you

• Contact Data Normalizer Cloud Connector - Documentation of possible values?

  I'm testing the connector of normalizer cloud of Contact data for the standardization of title (role, level) job.

  Is there a documentation about the possible values that it can return? Searched around topliners and support without result site. It's a black box.

  Everyone tested out and you to share what they think?

  Although I like the idea of a an easy solution to use, titles of employment for our targets are so all over the map that I probably have to build my own, but this use to take a first pass might the way to go

  I tested this out today on a subset of k title records about 25 that we have in our database. I use the title role and the level standardizations. For some of you (like me) who are eager to see the role and the level of the values here are what I see. Obviously maybe not exhaustive.

  Level values:

  Account Manager

  Assistant

  Level C (including the President)

  Creative Director (even if it is strange, because it shows only on the title of the owner)

  Director

  Executive Vice President

  Director-general

  Individual contributor

  Level unspecified

  Not valid

  Manager

  Senior Vice President

  Vice President

  Role values:

  Academic

  Creative Director (although with the owner)

  Engineering

  Finance

  General

  Health care

  Hospitality

  Human resources

  Information technology

  Not valid

  Legal

  Manufacturing

  Marketing

  Operations

  Editing

  Real estate

  Sales

  Service

  My question is why owner becomes a value of Creative Director for the role and the level?

  Hope that helps some of you out there looking for values.

• Question about cloud connectors

  We try to create a cloud to Eloqua connector. I read the CloudConnectorSampleGuide. I have a few questions about the expected data models and models of general implementation.

  Configuration of the connector of the cloud

  • The CC stores the identification information for each configured CC step Eloquya Eloqua?
    • What are the guidelines for the safe password storage? (I can't store the passwords as dirty one-way-hash that I need the password during execution.  The two-way hash gives an illusion of security but is not better than the plaintext).
  • When the CC is configured, where credentials should take place between the 1st and the 2nd screen? (i.e. as a hidden form field, session cookie cookie/etc.)
  • Eloqua warns the CC when a step is deleted?

  Cloud connector performance

  • What is the average number of steps configured Single that manages the CC?
  • Is it possible for a CC to have 1000 s and unique not configured to query?
  • What are the guidelines for scalability when the connector has to travel 1000 steps configured and survey? The CC requires a worker architecture to manage a large number of configured steps?
  • Are there best practices around the CC recovery hangs
    • For example: CC acquires the State waiting for members and moves to the current State. The CC blocks before the end of the stage. What is the approach suggested for

  recovery of the tasks in the current handling during recovery state? (assuming I have multiple instances of CC of the Eloqua poll). Is the connector of cloud supposed to maintain States of WIP to manage recovery correctly?

  Dmitry, once again, it is entirely to the developer.  When you add contacts to a stage, they will be processed in batches.  There is no limit to how much you add, and since they are left to step up to that dealt with by the connector, how long they sit depends on how long your connector takes to do its job.  Expectations, of course the faster you can deal with the best.

• Impossible to SetMemberStatus complete singles Cloud Connector

  We are trying to build a simple Cloud for Eloqua connector.  Our connector updates the Contact objects that flow into it with additional information.

  The logic is simple.  In a loop:

  1. ListMembersInStepByStatus through the cloud connector API (aka ExternalActionService.svc) to get the maximum of 1,000 members with status "AwaitingAction."
  2. Retrieve matching items of Contact via the API (aka Service.svc) normal data.
  3. Update Contacts via the normal data API.
  4. SetMemberStatus through the API of connector of Cloud to mark them as "Complete".

  To test our output connector, we tried using the time (in 9 Eloqua) builders program and (E10PartnerPlayground) campaigns to create super-simple workflows that just pump a few contacts in a cloud connector.

  We can successfully do steps 1-3.  However, our SetMemberStatus calls fail to change the status of a member to 'Complete' - everything "AwaitingAction."  We see this in both contexts program Builder and campaign.

  We waited hours for the changes to take effect, but no difference.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Python examples to help illustrate this issue:

  from foam import WSSE, customer

  def mkclient (wsdl, org, user, password):

  CLI = customer. Customer (WSDL)

  Security = WSSE. Security()

  Token = WSSE. UsernameToken ('% s\\ %s "% (org, user) password")

  Security.Tokens.Append (Token)

  CLI.set_options (wsse = Security)

  return of cli

  def main():

  # connect to eloqua API

  org, user, pw = open('/home/yang/.eloqua.auth').read().split)

  svc = mkclient ("https://secure.eloqua.com/API/1.2/Service.svc?wsdl', org, user, pw")

  ccs = mkclient ("https://secure.eloqua.com/api/1.2/ExternalActionService.svc?wsdl', org, user, pw")

  While True:

  # 1. the extraction of the queue of the cloud connector

  MS = ccs.service.ListMembersInStepByStatus (5013, 'AwaitingAction', 0, 50). Members

  Print "got members:'"

  print ms

  # 2. extract the matching contact entities; are not suitable to reproduce the problem

  # type_contact = svc.client.factory.create ('EntityType')

  # contact_type.ID = 0

  # type_contact. Name = "Contact".

  # type_contact. Type = 'Base '.

  # cs = svc.service.Retrieve (...)

  # 3. update of contacts in eloqua

  # ...

  # 4. Mark members as complete

  RES = ccs.service.SetMemberStatus (ms, 'Complete')

  Print "authorized members:'"

  print resources

  # in all our tests, this loop really only runs once

  breaking

  If __name__ == "__main__":

  main()

  The problem was that demand for SetMemberStatus was not correctly under construction.  We should have wrapped up the list of members in an ArrayOfMember element:

  NS = ccs.factory.create ('ArrayOfMember')

  NS. Member.extend (MS)

  RES = ccs.service.SetMemberStatus (ns, 'Complete')

  Foam too bad is not automatically catch this malformation.

• How to use String Manipulation Cloud Connector to shoot the first five characters of the field? (Expression syntax experience)

  The question

  I need to segment data on a large number of Postal Codes, usually about 400 to 600 at the same time. It is that our postcode field includes the last four digits in some cases, for example 92101-1957. When you use the Contact filter 'Value In A' I'm not able to do this 92101 *, 92102 * and of course I can't account for any combination of four numbers that might appear.

  The Solution - in theory

  The solution I came up with that is to create a new field of Contact in Eloqua 'Segmentation Zip Code' copy of the 5 digits of the postal Code field and execute segmentation using this new field.

  The Solution - Cloud Connector

  String Manipulation cloud connector must be able to perform this action - copy on the first 5 digits of the zip in the zip segment field field.

  When I'm stuck - via cloud connector

  I can't figure out how to write the syntax for expressions to search and replace. I have read the instructions of syntax and am still unable to establish exactly what I enter in the "regex to find: ' and the ' Regular Expressions to replace:

  Does anyone have expierence with an Expression syntax that might help train these expressions?

  Any ideas on other ways to address the problem would be too great.

  Thank you

  Louis

  Hi Louis,.

  Okay, I think I might know how to do it now but don't have access to Eloqua for the moment, so I'm kind of make this Store, but try below.

  Use the regex below in the "Regex for find" and let the "Regex to replace white": "."

  -(.*)$

  This will be after the hyphen and the replacement string will be empty, so I hope you should be left with just the first five digits that you can map to a new field.

  Let me know how you get on, I might be able to test myself so tomorrow so I'll see if I can make it work.

• Segment the Contacts that were originally created in Salesforce

  Does anyone know how contacts segment initially created in Salesforce?

  To identify which contacts have been created in Salesforce by sale, as opposed to those created in Eloqua by Marketing, we use a shared filter to feed created all new contacts in program Builder.  Our program evaluates if the 'Seller' contact field is filled (meaning that the person is assigned a representative to sales to Salesforce as a lead or contact) and that person is in Salesforce, who created the lead. If the lead has been created in Salesforce by user account Eloqua that we created to manage the Eloqua/SFDC integration, we know that it's an advance created Marketing which was created and assigned in Salesforce, so the program and then update a custom contact field that we created which indicates the source (Marketing compared to the sales).  If the person has been created by another user Salesforce in addition to the user of the Eloqua connector, the program updates the contact field to be generated from sales.  This method works for us because we have not all tracks from created in Salesforce Marketing; they are all created in Eloqua and then driven to Salesforce through our update CRM program.  With the source of custom contact field, we can segment and report on the contacts created by sales compared to Marketing-created contacts.

  You might also seek to compare the Salesforce lead or contact create date with the Eloqua create date to see which system created the person, or maybe there is a way to eradicate the new contacts through integration so that leads new Salesforce and contacts are identified as such during a call 'get new contacts' or 'get new leads?

  There is probably an easier and more elegant way to do it, but just wanted to share that our team has come with!

• Progressive profiling on website of the company using the cloud connector

  We would like to start building a progressive profiling on our companies website and I wanted to see if its possible for us to use a form created in Eloqua using progressive profiling cloud connector to do this? I'm not sure if this feature works when you put a form on the Web site of our society rather than using a landing in Eloqua page.

  Did anyone else with progressive profiling their companies outside Eloqua Web site? If so, how it was handled?

  Thanks in advance.

• Demandbase Cloud Connector

  Has anyone use demandbase in E10 cloud connector?

  Please correct the following if I'm wrong, but the search for data based on the ip address. In E9 ip addresses are stored in a profile field where we can move in a contact field. Now we can use the ip address in the cloud connector for the search.

  In E10 profile fields go away, so the only way to capture ip addresses would be via a front-end script when shipping form.

  Here is a bit of redundancy - if we can get only the ip of a contact address in Eloqua via a form submission, then we probably already have the data of demandbase who were seized by scripts API demandbase front-end on the page of the form.

  The main objective of the cloud connector seems to be connections that have not submitted a form. I don't see how this is possible if we can only get an ip address in a contact field via a form in E10 submission.

  I would like to know if anyone has experience in this and can confirm/debunk what I just wrote.

  Thank you

• PHP 5.3 cloud connector

  I am currently building a sign in application of Cloud based (prototype for now) for Eloqua in PHP 5.3.

  I was able to set a configuration page and see that the StepID, etc. have been properly transferred.

  And then as the next step, I wanted to get the list of Contacts of the current step in the program generator by using Web Services. That is to say. "ListMembersInStepByStatus" of https://secure.eloqua.com/api/1.2/ExternalActionService.svc?wsdl

  Try actually based on the blog post at: http://www.codeevolution.com.au/code/2011/03/build-an-eloqua-cloud-connector-in-php/

  Now, I am able to access the many other web services with PHP - using PHP 5.4 built-in SOAP extension or library NuSOAP.

  Unfortunately, I am never able to connect to any of the Services of the Eloqua Web from PHP. Could you help me with this?

  I also tried the SDK-PHP-Eloqua http://code.google.com/p/eloqua-php-sdk !

  When I tried on the example of: http://www.codeevolution.com.au/code/2011/03/build-an-eloqua-cloud-connector-in-php/ , I'm getting errors as shown in the attached HTML page.

  Unfortunately I can't spend any more without the ability to communicate with Web Services.

  If this can be of any assistance my investigation, I think it's one of these IIS - HTTP errors, because most of the time I'm interested in something like:

  Hello

  My name is Warren and I wrote the blog on PHP cloud connectors. One thing on which I'm not pointing was that I had to adjust the nusoap.php in NuSoap library as the encoding has been used always caused DEMAND INCORRECTE.

  To test your calls on the best program to use is soapUI. It will allow you to test XML calls to make sure that you have correctly configured your PHP. In the example below, I've added your xml in soap UI, adjusted to the encoding of what I have in my file of nusoap and it worked (see below).

  

  I have included my entire library of NuSoap here.

  http://www.codeevolution.com.au/sample/lib.zip

  Although I have only updated the nusoap.php file. I have also updated by blog to take account of what we discussed here.

  Good luck.
