confusing Relationship

 

Hi Friends,

 

I have a Conid column in the SQL table.

We have 2 things

1)SQL server IS THE DATABASE FROM WHICH DATA IS COMING INTO THE SALESFORCE THROUGH DATA LOADER.

2)INVESTMENT OBJECT WHICH IS A CHILD OF CONTACT OBJECT AND DST_CONTACT_ID_C IS AN EXTERNAL ID FEILD ON THE CONTACT
OBJECT

Rep_contact__c has a master detail RELATIONSHIP WITH the contact object

I am looking at the mapping file and i encountered the folowing

CONID=Rep_Contact__r\:DST_Contact_Id__c


Can somebody pleaqse explain in detail what does this mapping means.Quick response will be highly appreciated.


Thanks,
Trick009.

As I read it:

 

CONID=Rep_Contact__r\:DST_Contact_Id__c

 

It means that the CONID field in the file being imported will be placed in the DST_Contact_ID__c filed on the contact object that is related to the Rep_Contact__c

 

 Rep_Contact__c OBJECT -> Contact Object -> DST_Contact_ID__c FIELD = CONID
