Aria For Salesforce SDK Implementation

Aria for Salesforce SDK Overview 

General Information 

  • The Aria for Salesforce SDK leverages the Salesforce Force.com platform.
  • SDKs apply to Salesforce Connector 1.0 and Aria for Salesforce 2. 
  • Call-outs are encapsulated as Apex classes that can be used "out of the box". You do not need to explicitly make call-outs to the Aria system or parse and read the responses. You can use the Apex class/methods of the SDK to read responses in Salesforce format.
  • The SDKs follow the naming convention of the Aria APIs, making it easy to match the SDK to the corresponding core Aria API method.
  • The Apex class AriaServiceGeneral.cls contains the SDK calls to use for the core Aria API suite.
  • Refer to the following document for the structure to use for input and return parameters:

To view the methods of the SDK:

  1. Open the class AriaServiceGeneral.cls.
  2. Click your User ID > Setup > App Setup > Develop > Apex Classes.
  3. Navigate to AriaServiceGeneral by clicking Next Page. Classes are in alphabetical order. 
  4. Click AriaServiceGeneral. All the methods of the SDK are listed.

Example: Use the SDK to build custom functionality in Salesforce
