  • Post Install Script in Salesforce for deleting custom object data

    Posted by Bhavesh on September 8, 2016 at 5:25 am

    I am deleting custom object data using Post Install Script. if data is huge, post install script error is coming.

    I am writing below code in it.

    List<UserMessage__c> m_loUserMessage;
    m_loUserMessage = [select Title__c, MsgLine1__c, MsgLine2__c, MsgLine3__c, MsgLine4__c, MsgLine5__c, ReturnPage__c,
    Increment__c from UserMessage__c order by Increment__c];
    if(m_loUserMessage.size() > 10)
    {
    for(Integer i=0;i<(m_loUserMessage.size()-10);i++)
    {
    delete m_loUserMessage[i];
    }
    }

    Any one have suggestion for this for loop. Some of our customers has huge data. I think so that this error is coming.

    Where should i put this for loop

    Hi Bhavesh,

    In the for loop, where you are deleting the record, you are performing DML operation inside the for loop and we can perform only limited DML operation in a thread.

    Instead of deleting this in for loop, you can add the records to a list and then delete that list. But as you are querying the custom object data into a list, then there is also limit of querying into a list.

    So, I would suggest using a batch class for this as it will handle really a huge amount of data. Please refer the below sample code for executing batch class from Post Install Script:

    public without sharing class InstallationSystem implements Database.Batchable<SObject>, InstallHandler {
    public void onInstall(InstallContext ic) {
    // Initialize some data here
    Database.executeBatch(this);
    }
    public Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc) {
    return Database.getQueryLocator([some query]);
    }
    public void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, Sobject[] records) {
    }
    public void finish(Database.BatchableContext bc) {
    }
    }

    I hope this will help you.

    Please let me know if you have any query.

    Thanks

    Hello Surabhi,

    Thanks for quick reply.

    I am doing another operation also in post install script. Please check below whole code of my post install script.

    public class TaxNowPostInstall implements InstallHandler
    {
    public void onInstall(InstallContext context)
    {
    if(context.previousVersion() == null) // first install - create a new TaxNow Settings Record
    {
    //Insert some data when package install
    TaxNowSetting__c tns = new TaxNowSetting__c(Name='AvaTax',Active_Setting__c=true,
    Service_URL__c = 'https://avatax.avalara.net',TriggerLimit__c = 1);
    insert(tns);
    //Searching prodcut 'Tax Refund' from product catlog if it is not there, we are inserting it.
    List<List<Product2 >>searchList = [FIND :'Tax Refund' RETURNING Product2 ];
    Product2 pr = new Product2();
    PriceBook2 customPriceBook = new PriceBook2();
    if(searchList.size() == 0)
    {

    pr.Name='Tax Refund';
    pr.isActive=true;
    pr.ProductCode = 'Tax Refund';
    insert pr;

    // Insert Pricebook

    customPriceBook.Name='Tax Refund';
    customPriceBook.IsActive=true;
    insert customPriceBook;
    }
    // Insert Product

    };
    insert initialsCodes;
    }
    else // upgrade - make sure all TaxNowSettings have a value in TriggerLimit
    {
    for(TaxNowSetting__c tns : [select TriggerLimit__c from TaxNowSetting__c])
    {
    //once avalara package install, we insert TriggerLimit == 1 by default.
    if(tns.TriggerLimit__c == null)
    {
    tns.TriggerLimit__c = 1;
    update(tns);
    }
    }
    }

    }
    }
