I am getting a DML not allowed on generic list error when running some apex code that inserts a list of custom objects into the database.  The code snippet below creates two custom objects and stores them as concrete types in a generic list (List<sObject>).  However, when i try to insert the custom objects into the database using a single insert statement on the list, i get the DML not allowed on generic list error, even though when i inspect the output in the debug window I can clearly see that the list contains two concrete custom objects… Any idea why I am getting this error?  This seems like an inconsistency...

 

code:
List<sObject> itemsToInsert = new List<sObject>();

sObject outputCategoryTypeSO = new AgreementLineItemCategoryType__c(AgreementLineItemCategory__c = outputCategorySO.Id);itemsToInsert.add(outputCategoryTypeSO);

outputCategoryTypeSO = new AgreementLineItemCategoryType__c(AgreementLineItemCategory__c = outputCategorySO.Id);itemsToInsert.add(outputCategoryTypeSO);

system.debug(LoggingLevel.INFO, 'itemsToInsert = '+itemsToInsert);
if (!itemsToInsert.isEmpty()) {

    Database.insert(itemsToInsert);

}

debug log:
11:11:58:442 USER_DEBUG [210]|INFO|itemsToInsert = (AgreementLineItemCategoryType__c:{AdjustmentType__c=% Discount, AgreementLineItemCategory__c=a5GS00000004CxzMAE, PriceMethod__c=Per Unit, Product_Type__c=Maintenance, ItemSequence__c=1, PriceType__c=One Time, ConfigurationId__c=a3LS00000008btoMAA, IsOptionRollupLine__c=false, Quantity__c=1.00000, BasePriceMethod__c=Per Unit, Term__c=1, PriceUom__c=Each, SellingFrequency__c=One Time, LineNumber__c=1, ChargeType__c=Standard Price, Description__c=Acrobat Desk-09946063, AdjustmentAmount__c=2.00000, Frequency__c=One Time, LineType__c=Product/Service, SummaryGroupId__c=a3YS0000000CchoMAC, Uom__c=Each}, AgreementLineItemCategoryType__c:{AdjustmentType__c=% Discount, AgreementLineItemCategory__c=a5GS00000004CxzMAE, PriceMethod__c=Per Unit, Product_Type__c=Maintenance, ItemSequence__c=1, PriceType__c=One Time, ConfigurationId__c=a3LS00000008btoMAA, IsOptionRollupLine__c=false, Quantity__c=1.00000, BasePriceMethod__c=Per Unit, Term__c=1, PriceUom__c=Each, SellingFrequency__c=One Time, LineNumber__c=2, ChargeType__c=Standard Price, Description__c=Acrobat Desk-09946064, AdjustmentAmount__c=3.00000, Frequency__c=One Time, LineType__c=Product/Service, SummaryGroupId__c=a3YS0000000CchoMAC, Uom__c=Each})

What is really interesting is that if i make a simply change to the code to insert the items one at a time it works:

 

if (!itemsToInsert.isEmpty()) {

    for (sObject insert_item:itemsToInsert)  {

        system.debug(LoggingLevel.INFO, 'insert_item = '+insert_item);

        Database.insert(insert_item);

    }

}

Thanks


We have a self service portal that we want to convert to a customer portal based system so it can be integrated with a force.com sites implementation hosted in the same org.  There are currently many self service users already setup in the system.  Can these be easily converted to customer portal users so I don't have to recreate all users when setting up the customer portal?  If so, how could this be done?  Thanks

I have a force.com sites visualforce page that is publicly exposed and is not rendering the Notes & Attachments related list even though this renders correctly for authenticated users or for other salesforce related objects that i have explicitly set permissions for in my guest access profile.   Here is the vf page snippet:

 

 

 

I am getting the following error trying to save/compile an apex class which is managed beta (not yet released):

 

Managed type that is released without a supertype can not subsequently extend another type

 

Why am i getting this error on the BaseExtObject class below if i have the following classes and interfaces defined:

 

 

 

 

Does anyone know of any way for a developer to provide a managed visualforce page inside a managed package that customers can override with their own visualforce page layout and/or controller logic? The use case is we have an out of the box visualforce page in our managed package that users want to customize to add their own custom fields the as well as add some logic to the page that pre-populates some of the fields when it is loaded based on some logic. While this could easily be done with s-controls or unmanaged code, is there a way to do this using managed code?

Is it possible to for a client application using the WebRequest .NET class to create a custom SOAP request that can send an http request via the web services api and parse the response? I know i need to include the current session id and server url in the request, but how do i create the rest of the request content? What i want to do is call the merge fields servlet, /servlet/MergeFields.servlet (previously used by the connect for office toolkit and office toolkit 3.0) and retrieve the xml response it sends back. How can i do this? Can someone point me to some sample .net source code? Here is what i have so far:

//hardcode mergefield servlet url since there is no web services api method to get it
String url = host + "/servlet/servlet.MergeFields";
String postData = "?encoding=UTF-8";

//create request to get mergefields from salesforce mergefields servlet
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Method = "POST";
request.ContentType = "text/xml";
request.ContentLength = postData.Length;

//how do i add the session and login credentials here?
//and is the url in the create call above the url i want to send, or is is the soap endpoint, something like
//https://na7.salesforce.com/services/Soap/u/17.0

//encode data
byte[] data = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(postData);
Stream input = request.GetRequestStream();
input.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
input.Close();

//get response
HttpWebResponse myResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Stream respStream = myResponse.GetResponseStream();

StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(respStream);
String respStr = streamRead.ReadToEnd();

XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.LoadXml(respStr);

I have a formula field that i want to display a hyperlink to a visualforce page if the value if the current userid is a member of a given queue.  What i want to do is something like this:

IF (

$User.Id IN [select Id,Name,Type,(select UserOrGroupId From GroupMembers) from Group where Type='Queue'], "some link if true",

"some link if false"

)

 

Is there any way to do something like this straight from a formula field without just going to a visualforce page that has that logic in the controller?

Sometimes when my visualforce page gets called from the UI it just seems to "hang" or timeout and never renders.  Upon looking at the log, i see the following entry:

Status Success Application Browser
Request Type Application Operation /apex/myCustomPage
Duration (ms) 191 Log Length 86
Log Element thePage called method {!checkManageability} returned type PageReference: none 

What does this mean when checkManageability returns PageRerference none?

Is v4.0 of the office toolkit included in the latest release of the office edition (1.8.0.7)?  I see there was an installer for the toolkit on the force.com site, but didn’t see any notes about whether or not it was included in the latest version of the office edition (connect for office)… If it is not in there, are there plans to replace the 3.0 version of the toolkit currently in the connect for office product with the 4.0 version?

We have had some customers install our applications from the appexchange, which uses the LMA to track and enforce who installs the app.  However, in some circumstances, and we are not sure when or why, the lead, contact, and/or account info collected at the time of installation is missing so we cannot determine who installed the app.

 

Can you think of any reason this would occur?

 

Also, there is apparently no update version history shown when a person updates an app to a newer version.  Only the initial install date is recorded.  We need to know when they last updated the app as well.  Is there any way to get that info from the LMA?

How can I use a relative salesforce URl link in a visualforce email template?  For example, instead of the following, which works, but uses a hard coded host url:

 

<a href="https://na6.salesforce.com/{!relatedTo.Id}">https://na6.salesforce.com/{!relatedTo.Id}</a>

I want something lilke this, but the outputLink tags cause an error when the email is sent from the email api using this template...

 

<apex:outputLink value="/{!relatedTo.Id}">{!relatedTo.Id}</apex:outputLink>

 

Since there is not a way to associate a custom controller with a visualforce email template, how can I specify the URL in a non-hardcoded way?

i am getting an error "sObject type weblink is not supported" when trying to query the weblink table from the api within an application to get the name of a custom button and link.  what permissions do i need to setup for the user's profile in the ui for this to work?

Why is the error occuring below when i run the following sql inside an scontrol (where tags are enabled on my custom object)?

 

select Id,TagDefinitionId,ItemId,CreatedDate,SystemModstamp,IsDeleted,Name,Type from MyCustomObjectName__Tag where ItemId = 'a0PR0000000jlUM'

 

message: sf:UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION

fields: UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION: An unexpected error occured.  Please include this errorId if you contact support: ...... some error code

 

 

but if i run the same code as anonymous apex, i get a different error:

 

 

Any reason why i am getting these errors?

The apex manual says the following about deploying classes to production:

Understanding deploy
The deploy call completes successfully only if all of the following are true:

• 75% of your Apex scripts are covered by unit tests, and all of those test complete successfully.
Note the following:
◊ When deploying to a production organization, every unit test in your organization namespace is executed
◊ Calls to System.debug are not counted as part of Apex code coverage in unit tests.
• Every trigger has some test coverage.
• All classes and triggers compile successfully.

Question: Doe EACH apex class need to get >75% code coverage or only ALL CLASSES AS A WHOLE?

We have a Approval Processees developed within Salesforce on Opportunity. However, since Salesforce does not provide any reporting capabilities on these Processees, we are going to populate different object to then use for reporting, on the Opp Trigger.

 

We can get most of the information from the Process related objects within Salesforce, but I do not see the name of the Steps or Process in these objects.

 

Is there a way to get the name of the Processes Steps and Processes Name, which we would to display in our reports, either by doing SOQL or by using Approval related APIs.

 

Thanks

The last two days I have received the message "Incompatible viewstate version detected!" when attempting to access different custom VF pages. I have never encountered it before and it doesn't cause any exceptions that I can log and I cannot seem to duplicate it either.

 

Curious if anyone has seen the same message or knows what it is referring to.

i am getting an error "sObject type weblink is not supported" when trying to query the weblink table from the api within an application to get the name of a custom button and link.  what permissions do i need to setup for the user's profile in the ui for this to work?

Hi,

I had EmployeeBefore and EmployeeAfter triggers. I deleted them from Eclipse but how do I get rid of it in SF. I created a new trigger called EmployeeTrigger. When I run tests it is still executing those two deleted triggers along with Employee Trigger. So for some reason I need to delete it from Salesforce. Under src, I right clicked on Triggers and said save to server but it is still executing both before and after triggers.


Quick help would be appreciated.

thanks in advance,
kathyani

Hey,

Anybody come across this problem before?  Here's some code to send out a single e-mail:

Note that the getErrors() "member" is a Messaging.SendEmailError[] array, as specified in the Apex Ref Guide.

Now change the loop to

We are suddenly facing a new problem in our code this week.

Schema.SObjectType.Contact.fields.getMap() was returning values when the code is unmanaged state - but when we move this class into a Managed package we are find that it return an empty value.

We saw this first time over the weekend - did anything change with the upgrade this week - any change in API etc...

Any assistance or insight would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I want to be able to get all the fields for the Opportunity. I am writing custom code for cloning an opportunity.
I had the following piece of code which was working but suddenly has stopped working.

We have an application that runs in a web tab and for this one specific user we are getting this error when they click on the tab.

INVALID_FIELD: SELECT ProfileId FROM User WHERE Id = '123456ABCDEFG' ^ ERROR at Row:1:Column:8 No such column 'ProfileId' on entity 'User'. If you are attempting to use a custom field, be sure to append the '__c' after the custom field name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.

Note: I have masked the Id, we are using a real Id not 123456ABCDEFG

I believe but cannot confirm that it is because the user does not have permission to "View Setup and Configuration"... any ideas?

Cheers!
