Auto-Fetch Data Kit Dependencies

hashtag
Overview

ARM now enables automatic retrieval of all dependent metadata for a selected Salesforce Data Cloud Data Kit using the connected org credentials. This eliminates the need to manually download the Data Kit package manifest (package.xml) from Salesforce and upload it during Commit workflows.

This enhancement reduces manual effort, saves time, and minimizes errors caused by missing or outdated manifest files.

hashtag
Use Case

Previously, users had to manually perform the following steps:

  • Log in to the source Salesforce org

  • Download the package manifest for the Data Kit

  • Save the package.xml file locally

  • Upload it into ARM during Commit

With this enhancement, ARM automatically fetches all dependent members of the selected Data Kit directly from Salesforce, removing the need for manual download and upload.

  • This feature is supported only for DX format workflows

  • Org-to-Org Deployment is not supported, as it does not use DX format
