CON-21-120 Salesforce Model Reverse Engineering

The FCA will be taking the structural and descriptive metadata from a Salesforce instance (Production or Sandbox) and create an analogous relational data model for use within a relational data modelling tool. The Salesforce Model Reverse Engineering Tool will process the Salesforce metadata. The main use cases for this tool include:

Reverse-engineering of a Salesforce instance's metadata to create a relational data model of the instance suitable for use in a data modelling tool.

Comparing Salesforce instance metadata so we can identify differences, similarities between two instances.

The creation of Subject Areas (i.e. views of a subset of the Objects and Relationships of a Salesforce instance) prior to the creation of the corresponding relational data model.
