A basic understanding of the selective query concept is fundamental to scalability on the Salesforce platform. Non-selective queries have a significant performance impact on List Views, Reports and SOQL and can often result in Apex Trigger runtime exceptions as below – as the data volume increases over time. [code language=”java”] System.QueryException Cause: null Message: Non-selective […]
This post provides an overview of the features and functionality of the Salesforce Analytics Cloud. The Analytics Cloud, or Wave Analytics as it is also referred to, is a cloud-based business intelligence platform that enables the connection of disparate data sources to form interactive data views (or visualisations) that can be distributed via dashboards. A […]
This post marks the first Salesforce Marketing Cloud related post on this blog, an event reflective of the increasing number of Salesforce implementations that span both the Salesforce and Marketing Cloud platforms (or cross-cloud, a term I can’t seem to stop using). Architects working on such implementations require a solid understanding of Marketing processes and […]
Accompanied by a huge (472-page) release notes document, the Spring ’17 release rolls out in early February. For perhaps the first time (to my recognition) a Lightning Experience (LEX) only theme is identifiable across the newly introduced set of features. This isn’t exhaustive but interesting nonetheless as historically any functional disparity typically favoured Salesforce Classic. […]
Regular visitors to this blog may notice that the title has changed recently from Force365 to Audit9.blog. I’ve done this firstly to remove the term “Force” which proved problematic in establishing an ISV contract with Salesforce for the AppExchange listed clearMDM product (something for other bloggers to consider perhaps) and secondly to consolidate all my […]
Please note – This content was previously posted on the audit9.com site directly and is re-published here as part of the consolidation of 2 blogs. This post provides an overview of the various environments involved in delivering ISV solutions to the Salesforce AppExchange. As will be obvious to architects working outside of the ISV domain, […]
As I’ve previously stated the combination of Process Builder and Apex Actions is incredibly powerful. This short post adds the answer to a frequently asked question; how many times is the InvocableMethod called when records are modified in bulk? To answer this with an example. With default batch settings (200 records) and 201 modified records […]
Once again regretfully it’s time to start talking about Winter; the Winter ’17 (v38.0) release that is. This (pre-Dreamforce ’16) release sees the return of a snowman logo (last seen in Winter ’10) – albeit rather glum looking on this occasion – despite the animated wink ;-); perhaps Dreamforce ’16 will cheer him/her up. The new release […]
This post provides a code example for a multi-purpose Visualforce page that dynamically switches between Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience (LEX) views based on the detected user setting. At some future stage (perhaps Dreamforce ’16 will enlighten us here) the platform will likely provide support for auto-conversion of legacy Visualforce assets to the new Lightning […]
As of June 25th 2016 sandbox orgs no longer support TLS 1.0 encryption. The previously optional critical update “Require TLS 1.1 or higher for HTTPS connections” was auto-activated on this date. Production orgs will be auto-activated on the 4th March 2017. Inbound API connections requesting TLS 1.0 will receive the error message “TLS 1.0 has […]
