Introduction
There is a reported problem where users are not able to install Exalate for Salesforce Bridge App.
As a user, you encounter the following error.
We have created the "Version 2: Exalate Bridge App" for Salesforce to solve this problem.
The new version fixes installation issues from the previous "Version 1: Exalate Bridge App" caused by the deletion of the underlying Salesforce Org.
This document provides a series of steps to install version 2 of the Exalate Bridge App.
Note: The security review is ongoing, so the App is not yet published on the AppExchange.
