Introduction to Plauti Server

Plauti Server is an app that offers Plauti's services, hosted on your own server. Currently it provides performance-enhancing services for Plauti Deduplicate for Salesforce and MS Dynamics, such as running Deduplicate and Search Index jobs, and an independent Data Flows service for bulk importing data into Salesforce and MS Dynamics, and bulk exporting from Salesforce. In the near future more services will be added.

As Plauti Server runs on a local server, you can let multiple users access the app. Furthermore, you can connect to multiple Salesforce Orgs and MS Dynamics Envs at the same time.

Plauti Server for Deduplicate Jobs

For Plauti Deduplicate, Plauti Server replaces the multi-tenant DC Local Server Mode app. Just like DC Local Server, Plauti Server uses the processing power of your local device to run Deduplicate and Search Index jobs. Particularly for larger Deduplicate jobs, processing will be remarkably faster.

When a Deduplicate job is detected and automatically started in Plauti Server, encrypted records in Salesforce or MS Dynamics are downloaded via a secured connection, and temporarily stored on your local machine until all duplicate results are found. When the job is finished, results are pushed back to Salesforce or MS Dynamics, where you can review the results and execute an (automatic) merge or convert. The encrypted records will automatically be removed from your local device, keeping it 100% safe and secure.

Import and Export Data

The Import and Export Data Flows feature is a standalone service (not tied to Plauti Deduplicate). Import CSV or Excel files of any size into a Salesforce or Dynamics environment, with support for any Object or Entity type, and handy features like previous mapping memory. Perfect for data migration projects. In the same vein, export a CSV file with data from a Salesforce object or a subset of records, from selected fields including parent fields. Exporting for MS Dynamics, as well as other data processing options, will be available soon.

Plauti Server features

Plauti Server has some features of its own, such as Connections, a Team, and Notifications. Set up Connections to let Plauti Server communicate with multiple Salesforce Orgs and MS Dynamics environments concurrently. Configure a Team to determine which of the users with access to Plauti Server can manage Connections, invite new Team members, etc.

For a quick tour of Plauti Server, simply open Plauti Server after you installed it. Log in with your Salesforce Production or Dynamics 365 account, and click Show me around to follow the guided tour steps.

Compatibility

Plauti Server is an application that can be installed on a Windows or Linux server, laptop or computer. It runs independently from the machine where you use Salesforce or MS Dynamics, making it easier to let large jobs run overnight if needed. Plauti Server can run via Docker as well.

Plauti Server requires an additional license for use in combination with Plauti Deduplicate (Premium edition; license included in PDM). Please contact us if you would like to receive pricing for Plauti Server.

Furthermore, Plauti Server is compatible with all Salesforce editions, except for the Plauti Deduplicate Auto Merge feature. To use Plauti Deduplicate Auto Merge via Plauti Server, Salesforce Enterprise or higher is required.

Deduplicate features supported by Plauti Server

• Deduplicate Jobs
• Deduplicate Auto Merge jobs
• Deduplicate Search Index creation jobs
• Deduplicate Scheduled jobs

Currently not supported: Deduplicate Job Result Export jobs

The Plauti Apps

Plauti Server offers the convenience of running all activity on your own server, or with Plauti Desktop on your local machine. Plauti Cloud offers the same features as Plauti Server and Plauti Desktop, but has some advantages over those as well. For example, Plauti Cloud can run several parallel jobs at the same time. Another plus is that Plauti Cloud only runs a server when it's needed, so it's more environmentally friendly than Plauti Server.

Plauti Server can queue multiple jobs from multiple Orgs and Environments, but it can only process one job at a time. For running several jobs concurrently, use Plauti Cloud instead.

All apps offer secure data transmissions, and remarkable speed compared to executing actions within Salesforce or MS Dynamics. Utilizing all apps instead of just picking one, depending on your use cases, is also possible of course. In that case, do keep an eye on which app processes what.
