Deployment Process Failure

Hi,

 

I am trying to deploy my package to a client, and we keep recieving this error:

 

1. (Account.Organization_ID__c) reached maximum number of external ids and

unique fields

Account.Organization_ID__c: reached maximum number of external ids and

unique fields

 

 

 

Validation Errors While Saving Record(s)

 

There were custom validation error(s) encountered while saving the affected

record(s). The first validation error encountered was "00DT0000000JdhL:

VALIDATION_FAILED [Account.Organization_ID__c: reached maximum number of

external ids and unique fields: Account.Organization_ID__c: reached maximum

number of external ids and unique fields]".

 

 

What do you think the problem could be? Is there a maximum number of External IDs aloud per instance of salesforce?

There is a limit of 3 external id fields per object. Sounds like all 3 have been taken, and what you're trying to install is trying to create one causing the limit has been exceeded.

 

If you talk to your salesforce rep nicely enough, you could see that limit being raised just a bit.
