Announcements
Veeva CRM Mobile Platform Deprecation
Salesforce requires all customers to migrate to their new Territory Management 2.0 model by June 2020. Because of incompatibility with this new model, the following platforms will no longer be supported once Territory Management 2.0 is enabled:
- Veeva CRM Tablet Edition
- Veeva CRM on Windows 8
- Veeva CRM on Windows 10 builds prior to 16299 (Fall Creators Update, version 1709)
iOS Support
The Veeva CRM 19R2 release requires iOS 11 or later.
FTP Connection Changes
To align with industry best practices for security and data integrity, Veeva CRM requires TLS 1.2 for all FTP connections beginning with the 19R2 release, scheduled for August 2019. Incoming FTP connections using TLS 1.1 or earlier will not be accepted.
Customers must perform the following steps to the Veeva CRM 19R2 release to prevent any disruptions to FTP activity for CLM, MyInsights Fixed Reports (Sales Data), or Nitro.
- Follow the instructions provided by the FTP client to configure the client to use use explicit TLS. This process should be done for users who manually upload files using an FTP client. For example, customers using Filezilla as their client should select Required explicit FTP over TLS from the Encryption drop down list, or administrators can add the ftpes:// prefix to the host location (ftpes://vf13.vod309.com).
- Ensure TLS 1.2 encryption protocols are enabled for any integrations using FTP.
TLS 1.2 is supported with the existing FTP infrastructure. We recommend not waiting until the Veeva CRM 19R2 release to implement these changes.
Salesforce recently announced their TLS 1.2 requirement beginning in September 2019. Please read this Salesforce knowledge article for more information.
