Accelerate Center for Enablement delivery
with an API Community
Description: When building out a Center for Enablement
(C4E), the concentration is often strictly around the
technology. As a result, there is less focus on the people
who will be a part of the broader API community. To truly
engage C4E across the organization, C4E teams need to
enable through engagement layers, promote C4E benefits,
and evangelize the C4E by highlighting assets and sharing
best practices. In this webinar we will:
● Explore API catalog best practices to enable self-service
● Understand channels of engagement for your C4E
● Discover best practices used by other organizations for
building API communities

How to Accelerate C4E Delivery: Developing an
Integration Architecture and SDLC Model
Description: When developing a Center for Enablement
(C4E), understanding your delivery model tech stack and
determining its management for a stable environment is a
critical component for success. As such, it's essential to have
a firm understanding of what your integration architecture
looks like and understand the Software Development Lifecycle
(SDLC) and Continuous Integration/ Continuous Delivery
(CI/CD) processes used to govern it.
● Core services and building blocks of your integration
architecture
● Examples of reference architecture diagrams
● Architecture governance team structures
● CI/CD tools to ensure the proper delivery of applications
● Testing strategies to ensure deliverables are meeting
stakeholder expectations

Integration pattens between MuleSoft & Vlocity
● Remote Process Invocation—Request and Reply
○ Salesforce Connector is used to ingest catalogue data from database
into Vlocity Technical and Commercial catalogue data model.
○ Certain business logic is written in salesforce for that we have used Apex
classes which are invoked from MuleSoft to load data into Vlocity.
● Remote Process Invocation—Fire and Forget
○ We have also used Vlocity Integration Procedure and Data raptor to load data in
Vlocity, Integration Procedure and Data raptor has set of actions which can
performed according to payload and conditions.
19

Process to Invoke Integration Procedure
20
There are Certain attributes and
methods which needs to be
passed to call an Integration
procedure
• Apex Class Name :
IntegrationProcedureService
• Apex Class Method:
runIntegrationService^/vlocity_
cmt/v1/integrationprocedure/D
C2_LoadBillingOfferAttributes?
queueableChainable=true^Http
Post^String
• DC2_LoadBillingOfferAttribute
s – Name of Integration
Procedure
• queueableChainable=true this
needs to be set as true so that
Integration procedure can run
in async mode.

Process to Invoke DataRaptor
21
There are Certain attributes and methods which needs to
be passed to call a DataRaptor
•Apex Class Name : DRGlobal
•Apex Class
Method: processPost^/vlocity_cmt/v2/DataRaptor^HttpPo
st^String

Salesforce Connector to Upsert
22
• We have also used Salesforce Connector to
Query, Insert, Update and Upsert records
in/from Salesforce.
• Example explains how upsert
functionality works between MuleSoft and
Salesforce.
• Object Type: Standard or Custom object
Name
• External Id: Field name in object which is
marked as external Id and unique in object.
• Records: Should always be passed as
array.
• Fun fact – As developer we forget
sometimes.

We have used OAuth Username password
Authentication Type
<salesforce:sfdc-config name="Salesforce_Config"
doc:name="Salesforce Config" doc:id="3f869715-54be-4254-b7e1-
7ef564796bee" fetchAllApexRestMetadata="true">
<salesforce:oauth-user-pass-connection
consumerKey="${sf.consumerKey}"
consumerSecret="${secure::sf.consumerSecret}"
username="${sf.username}" password="${secure::sf.password}"
tokenEndpoint="${sf.endpoint}" >
</salesforce:oauth-user-pass-connection>
</salesforce:sfdc-config>

Integration patterns between MuleSoft & SFCC
● Batch Data Synchronization
○ MuleSoft extracts commercial catalogue from Vlocity using Salesforce APIs.
○ MuleSoft transform commercial and technical catalogue into SFCC data model.
○ MuleSoft uses SFCC data APIs to get list of sellable offers available on SFCC.
○ MuleSoft extract bulk catalogue data from Vlocity which is in JSON format, then
transform into common data model further transform into SFCC predefined
XML structure so that it can be ingested in SFCC.
○ We have utilised Batch Processing and Scatter Gatter to generate XMLs.
