Hi,

You can use the methods of schema class. Below is a snippet of code that you can use :

Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> m = Schema.getGlobalDescribe() ;

Schema.SObjectType s = m.get('API_Name_Of_SObject') ;

Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = s.getDescribe() ;

Map<String,Schema.SObjectField> fields = r.fields.getMap();

Thanks

Hi,

Other than SOQL or SOSL, Custom settings have their own set of methods to access the record.

For example:

If there is custom setting of name ISO_Country, SO_Country__c code = ISO_Country__c.getInstance(‘INDIA’);

//To return a map of data sets defined for the custom object (all records in the custom object), //you would use: Map<String,ISO_Country__c> mapCodes = ISO_Country__c.getAll();

// display the ISO code for India

System.debug(‘ISO Code: ‘+mapCodes.get(‘INDIA’).ISO_Code__c);

//Alternatively you can return the map as a list:

List<String> listCodes = ISO_Country__c.getAll().values();

Thanks

Hi,

Use the below snippet of code :

Decimal d = 100/3;

Double ans = d.setScale(2);

Hi,

COUNT() :

COUNT() must be the only element in the SELECT list.

You can use COUNT() with a LIMIT clause.

You can’t use COUNT() with an ORDER BY clause. Use COUNT(fieldName) instead.

You can’t use COUNT() with a GROUP BY clause for API version 19.0 and later. Use COUNT(fieldName) instead.

Thanks

Hi,

Support for trend analysis in Salesforce is fairly limited.

User Interface of Salesforce reports and dashboards is fixed. Salesforce does not support pixel perfect report.

Salesforce reports do not support importing data from other sources When displaying objects and their children, Salesforce does not support reporting on objects that do not have any children.

If an object has two different related lists, then Salesforce reporting does not support displaying both these related lists together.

Thanks

Hi,

I would Use JSON Deserialization.

jsonStr = '{//some JSON data}'
JSONParser parser = JSON.createParser(jsonStr);
String text = '';
while (parser.nextToken() != null) {
if(parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.START_OBJECT){
parser.nextToken();
text = parser.getText() + ', ' + text;
}
//System.debug(parser.getText() + parser.nextToken() + ' - ' + parser.getText());
if (parser.getCurrentToken() == JSONToken.START_ARRAY) {
//parser.nextToken();
text = parser.getText() + ', ' + text;
}
}

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Limitations With Standard Components
While the core Lightning Out functionality is stable and complete, there are a few interactions with other Salesforce features that we’re still working on.

Chief among these is the standard components built into the Lightning Component framework. Many standard components don’t behave correctly when used in a stand-alone context, such as Lightning Out, and Lightning Components for Visualforce, which is based on Lightning Out. This is because the components implicitly depend on resources available in the one.app container.

Avoid this issue with your own components by making all of their dependencies explicit. Use ltng:require to reference all required JavaScript and CSS resources that aren’t embedded in the component itself.

If you’re using standard components in your apps, they might not be fully styled, or behave as documented, when they’re used in Lightning Out or Lightning Components for Visualforce.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Future Apex. - Future Apex is used to run processes in a separate thread, at a later time when system resources become available. Note: Technically, you use the @future annotation to identify methods that run asynchronously.

A future method runs in the background, asynchronously. You can call a future method for executing long-running operations, such as callouts to external Web services or any operation you’d like to run in its own thread, on its own time. You can also make use of future methods to isolate DML operations on different sObject types to prevent the mixed DML error. Each future method is queued and executes when system resources become available. That way, the execution of your code doesn’t have to wait for the completion of a long-running operation. A benefit of using future methods is that some governor limits are higher, such as SOQL query limits and heap size limits.

Hope this helps.

[shariq]

Hi,

Set Up Governor Limit Email Warnings

1. Log in to Salesforce as an administrator user.
2. From Setup, enter Users in the Quick Find box, then select Users.
3. Click Edit next to the name of the user to receive the email notifications.
4. Select the Send Apex Warning Emails option.
5. Click Save.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Automation studio has a fixed path, and new people can not join until the path is complete, so if you wanted to send a 3 email series over 5 days, new people could not join until after the 5 day series is complete.  I currently use Automation Studio to import new data and add it to a data extention and finish it off with a Fire event so it will send the data to a Journey Builder event, that way I can add new people to the Journey daily.  Journey Builder is extremely limited in its reporting however.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Basically, the setCallback() function sets a function to run after the action finishes. You might be wondering why we can't just call getReturnValue() on the action right after enqueuing it and why the setCallback() function is even necessary.

setCallback() has a third parameter that registers the action state that will invoke the callback. If you don't specify the third argument for setCallback() , it defaults to registering the SUCCESS and ERROR states. To set a callback for another state, such as ABORTED , you can call setCallback() multiple times with the action state set explicitly in the third argument. For example:

action.setCallback(this, function(response) { ...}, "ABORTED");

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Use WSDL2Apex to Generate Apex Code
In addition to REST callouts, Apex can also make callouts to SOAP web services using XML. Working with SOAP can be a painful (but necessary) experience. Fortunately, we have tools to make the process easier.
WSDL2Apex automatically generates Apex classes from a WSDL document. You download the web service’s WSDL file, and then you upload the WSDL and WSDL2Apex generates the Apex classes for you. The Apex classes construct the SOAP XML, transmit the data, and parse the response XML into Apex objects. Instead of developing the logic to construct and parse the XML of the web service messages, let the Apex classes generated by WSDL2Apex internally handle all that overhead. If you are familiar with WSDL2Java or with importing a WSDL as a Web Reference in .NET, this functionality is similar to WSDL2Apex

Generate an Apex Class from the WSDL

• From Setup, enter Apex Classes in the Quick Find box, then click Apex Classes.
• Click Generate from WSDL.
• Click Choose File and select the downloaded calculator.xml file.
• Click Parse WSDL. The application generates a default class name for each namespace in the WSDL document and reports any errors.For this example, use the default class name. However, in real life it is highly recommended that you change the default names to make them easier to work with and make your code more intuitive.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

environments. The repository, such as Git or Apache Subversion (SVN), helps integrate the changes that were implemented by concurrent development and separates the different versions of an application.

The source control repository contains a copy of your entire organization’s metadata as exposed by Metadata API. Team members can add their customizations, such as custom objects,  fields, and reports, and Apex or Visualforce code to the source control repository. These changes are then merged with changes that were made by other team members or developers on other teams. A source control system ensures a quality development process and has many other benefits, including the ability to deploy only a specific version of customizations, and maintaining a separate branch for each project without overwriting customization done as part of other projects.

In the source control system that you use, such as Git, you can create a repository with multiple branches. Each branch contains a set of changes that are developed by a separate team. For example, one team of developers might be working on a feature that’s going live in February.  Another team might be working on a feature that’s going live in March.  These teams need separate Developer organizations and integration test sandboxes.  In addition, because patch releases contain bug fixes and therefore different customization metadata and Apex code than new features, use a separate branch for a patch release.

You can use the Ant Migration Tool to retrieve a copy of your organization’s metadata to commit to source control. Conversely, the Ant Migration Tool can be used to deploy metadata that’s saved in source control to an organization.
Hope this helps.

Note - To create, refresh, activate, and delete sandbox user should have  “Modify All Data”   permission.

We can create sandbox only from Production.sandbox option available under DataManagement in Production.The number of sandbox's we can create depends on the license which we have.There are 3 types of Sandbox we can create.

1.Developer.
2.Configuration only.(Developer Pro Sandbox)
3.Full sandbox.(which is exact copy of Production including data).

Hi,

Adding More -

Business can are particularly useful seperating your SFMC org either by Geography or Business Lines. In addition , marketing cloud does not come with a test environment and to "kind of " recreate this, you need an extra business unit.

Pros:

You can determine which business units each your users have permission to seperate business units in the "Admin" section, which work well for your use case.
You can seperate customer data between different business units, which sometimes is a regulatory requirement.
You can control user access

Cons

With the exception of shared contents and data extensions, manually copying shared process between business units is not an easier task. You would have to either do this manually (which can be tedious) or via the API (not beginner level stuff - great people have failed)
When you have to work with Salesforce.com, you would have to enable Multi-org within your instance, which breaks profile personalization. Then you are at the mercy of the 15 mins polling time.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

In Apex, all primitive data type arguments, such as Integer or String, are passed into methods by value. This means that any changes to the arguments exist only within the scope of the method. When the method returns, the changes to the arguments are lost.

Non-primitive data type arguments, such as sObjects, are also passed into methods by value. This means that when the method returns, the passed-in argument still references the same object as before the method call, and can’t be changed to point to another object. However, the values of the object’s fields can be changed in the method.

“Pass by reference” means when a method is called, that actual variable is passed to the method

Hope this helps.
