My customer has a Professional edition Org where they have a few of our custom objects deployed already. I am doing a project that extends the functionality using Apex Pages and Classes. Since Pro Edition does not allow Apex Classes, I am forced to use a managed package to deploy my changes.
Here lies the issue: My Apex Class refers to those custom objects and hence brings them into the managed package. So, if I install the managed package to their Org, they will have duplicate custom objects (which uses up their object count unnecessarily - they will never use the objects in the managed package - just the Apex functionality is to be used in conjunction with the original custom objects).
Hi, I am using the WebServices API to query and update SF data. I am told by my peers that the maximum number of records I can fetch in a single shot is 16,000. Is that right? I could not find anything in the API docs with that number and I am left wondering where they got from.
I'm trying to get my head around if the following situation is possible. Some background info first:
Custom object exists in production org and was created manually under setup
Intent is to wrap this custom object (and future changes) into a managed package to control future upgrades
My questions are:
1) Is there a way for me to move the existing object and all of its attributes to a developer org without having to create it all by hand?
2) Assuming #1 is taken care of, when I go to install the managed package (which includes the custom object already in the production org) in the production org can the attributes and data be merged?
