Hi,

i wrote a Custom Web Service in Salesforce to acceprt Base64 encoded files (PDF/Text) and store them as Attachments.

it worked fine. But the other integration partner has changed the format to "Binary" and my code is not working now.

so is there any way to store the files which are received in binary format in an attachment.

i heard that we can store binary format also, but unable to find out the exact process.

please let me know if anyone has idea about this.

thanks in advance

hi ,

can anyone please explain me what is the difference between the <apex:commandbutton> and <apex:commandlink> in terms of its execution,rather than what HTML components they generate when used.

my understanding in terms of the HTML elements that are generated

<apex:commanbutton> : input element of type "submit"

<apex:commandlink> :  an <a> tag with autogenerated JS which handles "submit"

please let me know other diffenreces

Hi ,

i have a question/ probably small confusion regarding how Workflow tasks are assigned to a user when we select a "Role" in Assigned to section, in following scenarios

 1. if the role has multiple users assigned to it ( my answer is  "The task is assigned to the user who triggered the

                                                                                          workflow rule" ).

  2.if the role has No user assigned to it (my answer is "The Task is assigned to the record owner" )

is there any change in this behavior with new releases

please correct me if i am wrong 

Hi,

i am inserting a PDF document in "Document" object. i will get the body of the pdf from an API call. the document is getting inserted correctly in the documents. but when i try to view the file its just displaying "Empty PDF" without any content.

where as the in other sandbox i am able to view the pdf content correctly. the code which i am using to store the document is same in both the orgs.

one thing i observed is the same pdf document has varying sizes in two orgs.

please let mw know what could be the probelm for this. i have delivery today and suddenly came aross this issue, earlier i didnt face this issue.

is it anything related to "Document Content Searchable" check box whih i am seeing in document detail page. 

it is checked by defalult in the sandbox where i am able to view the pdf correctly, but unchecked in the org wher i am unable to view the pdf.

any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

actually i have a Apex controller which is huge and which has many scenarios with more SOQL queries. when i write test cases in a single test class to test all the scenarios i am getting "Too Many SOQL quiries limit exception". i dont know why salesforce treats all test methods in a single class as a single transaction. 

so to compensate this i am thinking of writing another test class to test some scenarios. will this work correctly. is this approach a good practice?

please let me know if anyone faced same problem in test classes. help me to solve the problem.

Hi ,

i am unable to upload package from my developer org. we created and uploaded managed packages in this org eralier lot of times.

but now we are observing "Test Case Execution" delays while uploading the package and it is almost 24 hours that the package uploading is still in progress. i am not sure what could be the reason for this. 

i am observing same "Test Case Execution" delays in other developer orgs, when i try to execute test classes. i know there is a limit on number of times we an execute test cases in a single day, but i am sure that i didnt reach that limit.

please help me if anyone has any idea about this problem. my client is waiting for package.

Hi ,

i wrote a query which has an inner query in it to get the child records.

i will give an example with standard objects

Account acc = [select name,(select firtsname,lastname from Contact) from account limit 1];

i am using this "acc" varibale in VF page to display the contact records.

<apex:page>

<apex:repeat value="{!acc.contacts}" var="contact" >

<apex:outputtext value="{!contact.firstname}"/>

<apex:outputtext value="{!contact.lastname}"/>

</apex:repeat>

i have around 130 contacts, but iam getting below error message when i try to open the VF page to view the results.

"Aggregate query has too many rows for direct assignment, use FOR loop "

please let me know if anyone faced this issue earlier. what is the limit of number of rows in aggregate query.

is ithis is the correct way to get this done.

actually in my query there are around 15 inner object queries. that is my parent object has 15 childs.

any help would be appreciated

Hi ,

i have a custom object in which i have made the standard name field as "Auto Number". but when i am trying to insert a record through Apex its giving me an error saying that the required field Name is missing.

• Request  Number: Required fields are missing: [Name]
• Error Occured - Insert failed. First exception on row 0; first error: REQUIRED_FIELD_MISSING, Required fields are missing: [Name]: [Name]

i have created a managed package in this org , which added a namespace to every API name (however standard fields dont have namespace pre-pended to them)

please let me know what could be the problem. to my surprise the same is working correctly in another org. that only difference is that in the other org there is no namespace defined. is the namespace creating problem

thanks in advance

Hi,

i have created a full sandbox from my production org. as we know record IDs are identical in both these orgs for records that are migrated from production org. so whenever i update a record in my production , the same updation is not happening in sandbox. i thought as the record ids are same both records(sandbox and production) are pointing to same data in the backend , but it is not.

so please let me know how salesforce maintains this and why the record IDs are same(is there any specifi reason for that)

thanks in advance

Hi,

we have a requirement where we wrote a "After Upade" trigger on a object. we have an Approval Process defined for this object.

one step in this process is Field update.so when the field is updated in this step , this will fire  the trigger. we are doing some changes for the record in trigger whcih is an update operation. this is giving an error saying the 

"Record is read only, you annot do update operation"

we understood that is due to the "Record Locking" feature of approval process. that is after submission the record is locked from editing. but how can we accomplish our requirement.

any idea/work around will be great helpful

Thanks in advance

Hi, 

i came accross the statment :

If a custom object is a detail or subdetail component in a master-detail relationship, it can't also be the master of a different master-detail relationship.

saying that a detail object cannot be a master in another M-D relationship.

but iam able to create 4-level M-D relationship as explainde below.

object1 > object2 > object3 > object4

where object2, object3 and object4 are on master side and object1,object2 and object3 are on detail side.

please let me know what is the actual meaning of the statement. am i interpreting it in a wrong way.

I get the endpoint where the request has to be sent at runtime. Later i want to send an HTTP post request to this endpoint, so I have to create a remote site setting too at runtime.

I have an application using oAuth for authorization. It's been working fine for months. Over the weekend, issues started happening and after digging into it, it appears that while the authorization is successful (response 200 with valid JSON object returned), we're no longer receiving a refresh token after authorization.

Here is the oAuth request/response:

REQUEST:
https://login.salesforce.com/services/oauth2/token?grant_type=authorization_code&client_id=[my_app_client_id]&client_secret=[my_app_client_secret]&redirect_uri=[my_app_redirect_url]&code=[the_auth_code_we_receive_during_authorization]

RESPONSE:

{

"id":"https://login.salesforce.com/id/00D30000000AAAAAAA/0053000000KKKKKK",
"issued_at":"1328965006241",
"scope":"full",
"instance_url":"https://[my_org].my.salesforce.com",

}

This request is supposed to return a request_token parameter with the JSON response -- and it *always* has in the past. Docs here: http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Digging_Deeper_into_OAuth_2.0_on_Force.com

Hi All,

I would like to be able to call the SF Metadata API from Apex code in my custom app.

I went to Setup/App Setup/Develop/API and clicked on 'Download Metadata WSDL' and saved it to my hard drive.

Then I went to Setup/App Setup/Develop/ApexClasses and clicked on the 'Generate from WSDL' button. For Step 1, I navigate to the Metadata WSDL that I just saved and click 'Parse WSDL.' This takes me to the Step 2 screen where I then click on the 'Generate Apex code' button.

This takes me to the Step 3 screen which shows this error:

<error>

</error>

Does this error mean that what I am attempting to do is not allowed? If it is allowed, how do I get around this error.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Andrew
