Access Token Timeout Settings for Salesforce
The expiration timeout (or session timeout) in Salesforce is 14 minutes by default. To change this value:
- Navigate to SnapLogic Manager > Asset Search > Snaplexes and click the Snaplex on which you want to execute the Pipeline containing the Salesforce Snap. The Update Snaplex popup window appears.
Click Node Properties and, at the bottom of the tab that appears, add the following entry into the Global.properties fieldset:
Code Block jcc.jvm_options = -DSFDC_SESSION_TIMEOUT_MINUTES=<NUMBER_OF_MINUTES>
