Enable accounts for partner portal after migration

Hi,

Currently I'm planning a migration into Salesforce, including partner portal. Averything around the portal setup is clear and I can create new portal user manually.

 

In preparation for the big data load where I will need to activate a few hundred partner (and activate a few hundred users in a 2nd step), I facing the problem that nobody wants to do this manually ;-)

 

Since I don't want to do this by hand as well, I'd like to automate the mechanism on the account: "Work with portal" --> "enable Partner"

 

This action calls the following link: 

 

https://cs3.salesforce.com/ui/prm/PRMAccountPage/e?save=1&retURL=<SF-ID>&id=<SF-ID>

 

I tried to bypass this by using the dataloader (update the field IsPartner=true), but this is not good enough...

 

Any tips appreciated

Julius

Hi Vab,

 

found kind of solution. We're using Informatica on demand  as a data loading tool. This way it was possible to update the relevant fields (IsPartner & Status) of the partner record. Perhaps it's doable via the SFDC-data loader, but I'm not using it...

 

 

Hope that helps

Julius

Hi Julius,

 

Thanks for your prompt reply.

 

Can you please elaborate the SFDC-data loader approach?

 

Also,

 

  

When you set the IsPartner value to true via Informatica OnDemand, were the accounts enabled as partner Account ?

Basically you dont see the "Work With Portal" -- > "Enable as Partner" option on the account detail page. Right ?

 

Thanks,

Vaibhav
