      Get Meta Data specific to Application in Salesforce

      Posted by Prathibha on June 22, 2017 at 9:25 AM

      Hi Geeks,

      I need to fetch metadata of a particular application. How can I achieve it? How can we do it with Eclipse or any other tools suggested?

      Thanks,

      Prathibha

      There are multiple tools out there. You can use Eclipse Force.com IDE or ANT Migration Tool.

      To retrieve apps in your organization, use the CustomApplication type name in the package.xml manifest file. You can either retrieve all apps or specify which apps to retrieve in the types section of package.xml.

      To retrieve all apps in your organization—custom and standard apps, specify the wildcard character (*), as follows.

      <types>
      <members>*</members>
      <name>CustomApplication</name>
      </types>

       

      To retrieve a custom app, specify the app name.

      <types>
      <members>MyCustomApp</members>
      <name>CustomApplication</name>
      </types>

       

      To retrieve a standard app, add the standard__ prefix to the app name. For example, to retrieve the Chatter standard app, specify standard__Chatter.

      <types>
      <members>standard__Chatter</members>
      <name>CustomApplication</name>
      </types>

       

      You can also use workbench to get this.

      Go to Tab --> Migration --> Retrieve --> Provide the packge.xml
