External Objects & Integrations: Custom Parameters for Authentication

In the 25B release  admins can enable the External Objects & Integrations, (XOI) configuration persistence preference to automatically copy non-sensitive XOI configuration details from the production site to the upgrade site during an upgrade. This provides a baseline setup of XOI on the upgrade site, reducing manual effort to configure XOI connections from scratch. Production site configurations remain unchanged.

Steps to Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.

Tips And Considerations

  • When enabled, all XOI configurations from production are copied; selective copying is not supported.
  • Sensitive fields (such as credentials) are excluded and must be manually added on the upgrade site.
  • The production site behavior remains unchanged.
  • Clean up unused or obsolete XOI configurations regularly to avoid unnecessary connection persistence.
