Good Morning Swamy,

 

You can create records through Eclipse for ex: Inserting a new account into SFDC by writing syntax

 

Account acc = new Account;

------------

---------

---------

 

insert acc;

 

Hope this clears ur dbt.

Hey Swamy,

 

There are 5 different types of "web" api available on the Force.com platform:

 

1. SOAP

2. REST

3. Bulk

4. Metadata

5. Chatter

 

This link has more details about which api you should use:

https://na1.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/integrate_what_is_api.htm

 

You probably need to look at SOAP or REST api, and that's what people mean when they say Web API.

 

Regards,

Anup

Hi Swamy,

 

Good Morning!!!!!

 

Your requirement is quiet not clear to me.As per my understanding ,

are you both (client & U) are using same editions of salesforce or different editions?

If u both are using same editions then, as u r using Web API, fields will added automatically in ur salesforce account. for ex: if u r using professional edition and ur client using another edition like unlimited edition  , then fields are not updated in ur salesforce edition.

 

 

Hopes this is clear to U. Let me know if any  concerns.

Yaa,it is by an Apex class......but,am telling you one example....if am creating a field in the Eclipse than it automatically reflected into Salesforce.....like,that...... is any path or way  to create a record in Eclipse......(Create a record in Eclipse and it reflected to salesforce...)

 

                                            Is it possiable by API's....or anything...

 

 

if you known plz reply me ASAP...
swamyswamy

Thanks,it's working......but i want some more logic...regarding...i want to update the record in Eclipse that will automatically reflected into Salesforce.....

 

not using by update or upsert  DML operations in Anonymous blog's....

......

is it possiable by any classes......or API's....

Good Morning Swamy,

 

Your questions are going like a loop syntax :)

 

How ever u can write a trigger for ur requirement in eclipse, this will updated automatically in salesforce.

 

 

Hope U got my point.
