I am a solutions architect and I use Sparx Enterprise Architect and Archi for modeling architecture (as well as Visio).
Our data architects use PowerDesigner.
Do any of the architects here have success using architectural tools to model Salesforce, especially data models? Having an automated integration between the tool and Salesforce would be ideal for keeping the model and the system in synch.

I have a sandbox made off of our prod org. The sandbox instance is CS46, but it is not listed in
https://status.salesforce.com/products/Salesforce_Services
so I cannot tell whether it will participate in the early refresh for the new release or not.

I am unable to complete challenge for "Business Administration Specialist" superbadge. 
When checking challenge 3, Create reports and dashboards, it says

Challenge Not yet complete... here's what's wrong: 
There was an unexpected error while verifying this challenge. Usually this is due to some pre-existing configuration or code in the challenge Org. We recommend using a new Developer Edition (DE) to check this challenge. If you're using a new DE and seeing this error, please post to the developer forums and reference error id: RMKQULNG
Close errors.

I started with a clean org for this and have done nothing in it except what was required. Though of course I may have done something wrong.

Does anyone know how to address an error such as this? 

Summer '17 release notes say the Lightning Service Console is not yet available in the Developer Edition. Now that Summer '17 is GA, when can we expect this in the DE?

Working on the Lightning Experience Reports & Dashboards Specialist superbadge, I'm at Challenge #7 (Create the SolarBot dashboard) and getting the following error:

This is a new trailhead org, created excusively for completing this bage (no other Trailhead modules have been worked in this org). I had a similar unexpected error in a different org, on my previous superbadge -- also when creating dashboards, and corrected it by doing a dashboard refresh. Tried the same thing here, to no avail. Even with a freshly "refreshed" dashboard, I get the error. 

Any suggestions? Could not find the IWVYGERW error code in discussion forum searches.

In the Trailhead "Creating a Sales Process and Using Opportunities", it says

As you work on the new opportunity, you’ll change the opportunity stage to indicate your progress toward a sale. In the full Salesforce site, you can edit the record to change the opportunity stage. In the Salesforce1 mobile app, tap Mark This Stage as Complete

Regarding the part I underlined, I cannot find any way in SalesForce1 mobile app to "Mark This Stage as Complete".
Am I missing something? Or is the Trailhead incorrect with respect to the current mobile software (Salesforce1 v10.0.3 Build #3027871)?

 

Hi folks,

I've seen that Salesforce.com had such problem with their Email Approval feature. In my program I'm working with POP3 and checking mailbox and sends to client respond (very similar to Email Approval feature interaction). But somehow I need to check whether I recieved auto-reply email (e.g. Out-of-Office respond or on vacation). Because auto-reply feature is not declared by Email standard I can't definitely detect whether email was sent by auto-reply robot. Some robots leave their information in Email headers and some not. Does any way exists to detect it? May be Salesforce.com folks can suggest a solution?

Thanks,
Yura.
