End-to-End Process Flow
The following steps represent the high-level steps involved in the integration between PTC Orbit and ServiceMax Core.
1. Log in to the PTC Orbit tenant to download the out-of-the-box pipelines for Matillion configuration. Open Max Designer > Data Connectors > Matillion Data Connector, in the Attachments tab, download the attached ZIP file.
2. Log in to your Matillion Super Admin account to configure users and pipelines.
1. Invite users with appropriate permission to work on the project.
2. Create a project with the Data Platform value as Snowflake.
3. Configure Matillion project with the Snowflake details available in the Description field in the PTC Orbit tenant.
The Matillion project is now connected to the PTC Orbit tenant through the configured Snowflake database.
4. Add users to the project.
5. Go to the Matillion project branch and import the SFDC data object pipelines.
 | By default, the Account, Asset, and Product pipelines are imported out-of-the-box. |
6. Update the Salesforce credentials for each pipeline and validate.
3. In the Matillion project branch, run initial sync and incremental sync for the imported objects to import and transform objects and their fields from Salesforce to Snowflake.
4. In Max Admin, run the system job to sync records from Snowflake to PTC Orbit for the Pre-Db sync objects..For staging review objects, we need to review the records in PTC Orbit review screen, and then click Sync to Production.
| | Incremental sync works the same way as the initial sync except that the sync happens with the LastModifiedDate variable of the record data. The incremental sync filters records based on their LastModifiedDate value. |
