Hi there, we have a custom object "Invoice Request" that has a lookup relationship with Opportunity. I want the standard currency picklist  field on the Inoice Request record set to whatever value is in the standard currency picklist field on the Opportunity record. This should only happen on creation of the Invoice Request record, users should be able to invoice in whatever currency they choose.

 

Thanks in advance

I want to use record Type to limit trigger action. 

 

Now I use querey to get it my code liks below

string Id = [SELECT id from RecordType where Name ='Someone'].Id;

 

I also found this page, we could use method to get the Record Type Id to avoid the query.

I still can't understand it.

 

Is there some simple and easy wayt to get the ID only by Record Type's Name?

Hi,

I have a custom button on opportunity details page. It's behavior is "Display In New Window" anc content source is "URL".
It works fine in Salesforce classinc UI, when user clicks on the button, it opens a new window.

However, when I use this button in Salesforce Lightning, it doesn't open new window or tab, it just renders the whole content in the same tab. So is there anyway we can open new tab/window in Lightning for same custom button as it happens in classic?

Thanks,
Vagish

Object: syncdslist in file: classes\OpportunitySync.cls

First two made sense and i should change that to dynamic query. However, i am not sure what fix is expected for rest of them. Can anyone make point fix comment to figure out atleast any of them (except initial two) ?

Use case: I want to send Salesforce record's internal id to external system. It can be done in two ways-
1. Outbound message to a public service
2. Future call from apex trigger.

#1 will goto Outbound message queues, #2 will be routed from Apex job queues. Workwise, my experience is outbound messages are faster compared to apex job queues. Also I have seen apex jobs in queued state but outbound messages are sent immediately. There is no doc which compares these two queues, so can anyone throw more light in terms of performance comparision for both of these queues? 

Hi,
Use case: I have a JS button on opportunity detail page. It opens a visualforce page. On VF page load, it runs a check on OpportunitySplit object type (runs a SOQL on OpportunitySplit and checks for records). Problem is, I can't deploy this code into the SF account where Opportunity Split feature is not enabled, and I have to add this JS button, VF page and controller into package.
Any suggestion how I can achieve that? I don't want to do this validation (query) in js button.
I tried to make this post smaller, can provide more info if needed.
Thanks,

Hi,

I have been trying to access LastModifiedDate of Parent object of a Note record, but ended up with no luck. Here is what I am trying-

Select Id, Title, Parent.Type, Parent.LastModifiedDate from Note

It throws an error-
Select Id, Title, Parent.Type, Parent.LastModifiedDate from Note
                               ^
ERROR at Row:1:Column:32
No such column 'LastModifiedDate' on entity 'Name'. 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.

Apart from System fields, I am able to access all the parent fields from the same query.
Can anyone suggest if we have any way for this purpose?

Thanks,
Vagish

Hi,

When we make future calls, a job gets enqueued in asyncapexjob record. Is there any way to get job id of future call which has been currently made?
For example, I have a button on case record, when I click that button, a future method runs and calls other web service. Now, multipe people can click on the button at the same time/or almost near by time so I want to display the status of their job.

Is it possible at all?

Thanks.

Hi all,

 

I am trying to shoot an soql on custom object, object has been deployed using managed package however I am getting following exception:

 

EXCEPTION_THROWN [1]|System.QueryException: sObject type 'pymt__PaymentX__c' is not supported. If you are attempting to use a custom object, be sure to append the '__c' after the entity name. Please reference your WSDL or the describe call for the appropriate names.

 

I am shooting soql from Developer console as below:

System.debug('---------'+[SELECT

  ]);

Here pymt__ is a namespace prefix. I tried without prefix as well, that also didn't work.

 

Can anybody help me for this issue?

Hi,

 

I have two unrelated objects where a specific column might have the same value in another object. I'm trying to find out if a value in an object, already exist in another object. I was reading up on a wrapper classes, but I couldn't get my head around it. Any idea how this is possible? 

 

For example I have the following two objects with the following fields

 

Object_1__c (id, Name, Status)

Object_2__c(id, Name, Area)

 

In SQL, it would be written something like below. Please NOTE that there are fields that need to be displayed from both objects.

 

SELECT o1.id, o1.Name, o1.Status, o2.Area FROM Object_1__c o1, Object_2__c o2 WHERE o1.Name = o2.Name

 

Can a command button call two actions at the same time?

 

I am in a situation where I have two methods Save and Update. I want to either invoke the two methods in one command button action or instantiate method1 in method2 so that the command button will first call method1 and then method2.

 

Thanks

Folks,

I got my DEV 401 few months back. I am now planning to take up the DEV 501 exam. Though I've been working in Visualforce & apex for quite sometime, I don't have a clue on what is being tested in DEV 501. Couple of people to whom I have spoken recently are also in the same state. 

 

Hence, I am starting this thread so that people who have taken 501 atleast once, can share with us their experience and guide/hint us on the reference materials/topics that matter.

 

Lets help each other !!!

 

P.S: I also wanted to declare that this thread is not meant to post the exam questions as it will violate salesforce.com certification rights. This thread is solely meant to share the certification exam experiences and references.
