[SalesForce] IFrame into SalesForce

I would like to surface SalesForce into our on prem SSO application via Iframes.

Currently we are hitting a snag whereby both VF pages and normal SFDC views do not support iframe rendering.

Is it possible to do this with SFDC?… Can I have an app with a chrome less view into SFDC cases surfaced in my portal in this way?

You can. Sorta. It's very quick and dirty and you probably shouldn't.

create a View of your records, and get the Id: fcf={view-id},
append the URL parameter which invokes console mode: isdtp=lt,
make sure the user has a valid Salesforce session (eg via SSO or user instructions!)
iframe thusly: https://{instance}.salesforce.com/500?fcf=00Bb0000001SuIG&isdtp=lt

Console view

Tip: the reason Salesforce / Visualforce pages mightn't appear initially is because the X-FRAME-OPTIONS: DENY HTTP header is served on the login page. It isn't enforced after login though (yet).

[SalesForce] Importing date audit fields from Salesforce into SQL Server

The approach I ended up taking was to load the data as a string into a staging table and then use SQL Server's CONVERT function:

CONVERT(datetime, CreatedDate, 127)

Where 127 is the format code for ISO8601 with time zone Z. I'm sure a full SSIS package could have handled the conversion, but for a one-time data load that was worth the effort.

[SalesForce] Getting data from SAP into salesforce

If you want to develop your own solution, follow the steps below:

Expose the api from the SAP system which will fetch data from the sap after receiving the request from client.
The client here will the salesforce which will request for the data to be fetched from the sap with the flag field which will help to search for the records which are updated in sap and not all the records.
So this requests will happen as per your frequency using the schedular class in sfdc and adding the asynchronous context to it(for making the callout).
After receiving the data parse the respone and add it list then Upsert the list.

Let me know if some more pointers are needed.
