Trailhead - Define Custom Big Objects

I am trying to deploy the xml package for Customer_Interaction__b.object using the workbench for this unit. However I deploy and get success message in workbench but cannot see any big object.
  • I did see on the unit page it says that the examples are written for api unit 41.0 but my workbench doesnt allow me to go beyond 40. Does this matter?
  • My trailhead playground is on winter 18.
  • Does it matter what the file name for the object and permission set? (I do have the package.xml)
  • I have tried with and without having 'Single package' selected in workbench deploy
  • I have double checked the workbench is logged into the correct org

remove de .xml from your object en permisionSet file! 

en in your package xm set version to 41

I'm going to put my money on this being that workbench is in version 40. It just doesn't give me the option for 41 yet

I Have the same problem. Also with 41 version. Do you have a solution?
Michael Minnekeer 8Michael Minnekeer 8
Just tried again now that 41 is available, still having the same issue. Should this be the expected result?

Structure of Zip is verry important and not in the trail.

Still did not fix the issue. I get success message but no big object in salesforce. Is anything supposed to be selected on this screen?:

Yes Single Package
Stephane PlanckeStephane Plancke
Is it working? If not can you share your package.xml and onther files?
Michael Minnekeer 8Michael Minnekeer 8
Still does not work. I have tried your folder heirarchy with and without package.xml in root of zip file (I can't tell fom your screen shot of the folder Rider_History is the zip or a folder root level of the zip). Please see my zip file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kse2xoq0xx1x5qh/CustomerInteractions.zip?dl=0

I see no problem in your code.

Do you have checked Single Package on deploy? and the good  structure in the zip --> see immage?
Andrejs VeliksAndrejs Veliks

yeh, it's strange, but I'll try one more time and all pass ok. 

 

really strange . 

Yes, I checked Single Package . 
Stephane PlanckeStephane Plancke

Do you use Mac or Windows pc?

Kim SchaefgesKim Schaefges
I am having the same trouble. I get a success message in Workbench but no Big Object in Salesforce.  Do you have any other tips?
Michael Minnekeer 8Michael Minnekeer 8
Did you check folder heirachry and single package like @Stephane suggested?
Andrejs VeliksAndrejs Veliks

to Kim Schaefges; You can try one more time , may be all will ok. 

And check that frirst time You checked Check Only and Single Package

And after running You should to see that 

Number Components Deployed  9
Number Components Total 9


Not zero!
Stephane PlanckeStephane Plancke
1) make a zip file with the right structure.
2) do not add .xml on object and permissionset file
3) check Single Package on deploi
Stephane PlanckeStephane Plancke
4) if not working upload this zip ( I had problems with mac zip files so I created one in Windows) https://we.tl/CXMrRChNMy

Hi Stephane, i am facing same issue and not able to access zip file from ur given URL. can you help more. or please send me that zip file to gsyadav19@gmail.com

I had the same problem.I found solution how to successfully deploy  via Workbench.
You need to do two things.

1st: Change folder names as follows(object > objects, permissionset > permissionsets)
User-added image


2nd: You need to define files to deploy by name in package.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Package xmlns="http://soap.sforce.com/2006/04/metadata">
    <types>
        <members>rider_history__b</members>
        <name>CustomObject</name>
    </types>
    <types>
        <members>rider_history</members>
        <name>PermissionSet</name>
    </types>
    <version>41.0</version>
</Package>
 
Andrejs VeliksAndrejs Veliks

One things .... 

Check filenames extentions for objects. It should be .obj , not.xml 
This is common case as I see .. 
Andrejs VeliksAndrejs Veliks
Oops not .obj but .object 
Sorry
Efraim Taranto 1Efraim Taranto 1
I was experiencing the same issue and manage to solve it by following Stephane Plancke instructions:

1) create package.xml and directories as instructed:
User-added image
2) I made sure the file extenstions were not XML - that actually made the trick:
User-added image
User-added image

3) I've selected all in the directory (package.xml + 2 directories) and send it to a zip file:
User-added image
4) Finally uploaded the file using workbench and all worked well (remember checking Single Package!!!), see image you should be expecting:

User-added image

Hi am getting above  error any one help me
Oleg RebenkoOleg Rebenko
Hi Janardhan,

There are 3 reasons you may have such issue:
1. You put all your resources into folder before achiving. Root of your archive should have all 3 resources.
2. You are using Mac to pack it. See solution here https://medium.com/@wangyidan621/salesforce-workbench-zip-deployment-no-package-xml-found-error-on-mac-ec7ce49a7126 (https://medium.com/@wangyidan621/salesforce-workbench-zip-deployment-no-package-xml-found-error-on-mac-ec7ce49a7126)
3. You have wrong package.xml. Check its format in Trailhead Unit and try again.

Regards,
Oleg

Efraim Taranto 1's suggestions of selecting the two folders and one file and creating the zip file as package.zip and selecting single package is what worked for me.

Yall- I spent 2 hours on this assignment and I think I had it right from the beginning. For anyone out there, maybe this will save you some time-- I was checking my trailhead environment the whole time. This exercise uses the developer edition environment so when doing the exercise make sure to click the drop down for CHOOSE YOUR HANDS ON ORG and change it to your developer edition. Man this training is confusing...

I'm having a nightmare with this task. Anyone have the exact instructions on how to complete this using a Mac? I'm facing two errors. I've followed the link provided by Salesforce to the blog post on how to get around this on a mac but still facing the same issue after trying multiple different types of ways.

Do not zip on a Mac using the CLI - archive after selecting from the Finder and then "compress" option - that zip will work with Workbench package deploys.

I eventually found the issue. For me I had to change the default preference settings of TextEdit from Rich Text to Plain Text and it solved the problem to a point. The issue I have now is even though Workbench is showing as successfully deploying the files, the big object is not showing. I have double checked to make sure that the files are being deployed to the correct Org and they are.

@Efraim Taranto 1 Thanks. Single Package had to be checked.

Your file works and I am very thankful.  May I ask if doing the object, permissionset and package files in notepad it won't work?  Am just trying to check if it is my zip file in question or the big object files creation in question.  Looking forward to your response

@Ang Maria Rufina,
I think that it's a matter of Windows hiding files extension. You may think it is "Rider_History.permissionset", but in fact it is "Rider_History.permissionset.txt".

OK so i was able to solve the problem declaratively WITHOUT workbench so fast.....here are the steps


1. setup - Big Objects
2. Click New to create a big object. 
3. and plugin all the challenge requirements manually rather than using work bench or xml files. 

this will literally take 5 mins lol 

this is by far the best answer. trust me.

you're welcome.
