Original Record Id Rule Tools
The Original Record Id Rule tool is used to create a custom field in the target Salesforce and populate the new custom field with record Ids from the CopyStorm backup database. This is useful in a number of migration scenarios when the original Id of records being migrated must be maintained.
For example:
- The Original Id may be used after the migration to correlate data between the source and target orgs.
- Salesforce Id may be used as a key by an external system which must be able to access the original Salesforce Id.
