apex class deletion on production

Hi,

I am relatively new to interacting with Apex classes.  When pushing a change-set to production there is a validation error on the change-set due to an apex class that a previous consultant created and it is blocking the deployment.  I have worked through change-set before and never encountered this error.

The apex class itself is irrelevant and I wish to delete it completely from production.  I am slightly concerned about this because if I delete it from production I am not sure of the ramifications of how it interacts with other areas our instance.

Attached is a file of the error from the change set.  If you have advice about the best way to go about this that would be great.User-added image

Hi Travious,

Greetings!

If you do not have an idea on where the class is being used.Then,I would suggest you not to delete it without consulting your administration team.

Also,in order to fx the error that you can see on the validation either you will have to make changes to the code in the test class or you can simply in-activate the validation rule which is causing the issue.

As a best practice,you will need to add the value for the required field while creating the test data in the test class.However,as a quick fix you can de-activate the validation rule.But,make sure you fix the test class in future as it may cause issues again.

Kindly let me know if it helps you and close your query by marking it as best answer so that it can help others in the future.

Warm Regards,
Shirisha Pathuri

There a couple of way to do that. There is handy one using Workbench.
Follow the instructions in the page and you will get it done quickly.
Make sure test it on sandbox before produciton.

Thank you for the help, I think the best course or action is to comment out the code in the apex class and the apex class test.  I went ahead and did that, then tried to deploy the change to my production account and the commented out code did not come through.  However it did pass all the changeset tests.  Do you have any thoughts on this?

Hi Travis,

I have encountered this issue before and it is because of the field validation rule on Contract_value__c. You can remove or disable the validation rule.

What is a Call Center Dialer?

A call center dialer is an application that automates outgoing calls. It comes in different types, all configurable and generally integrated with your CRM system.
A call center dialer is one of the best tools you can have when making a lot of outgoing calls. It is not just a dialer for call centers. It can potentially improve the productivity of your agent or salesperson. If you are a new business with only a handful of employees or a large operation, you can benefit from using a call center dialer.
The key is choosing the best type of marker for your needs.

Call center dialer types
Manual marker - This is the most basic marker. These days, a manual dialer is hardly used in a call center setup, as it is the least efficient way to run outbound calling campaigns. All you need here is the keyboard (on your phone or monitor) and your fingers. Find the phone number you want to reach and start dialing. Manual dialer is best for very small operations dealing with low call volumes.
Preview Dialer or Power Dialer: The term "power dialer" has actually been used loosely to refer to all types of call center dialers. However, technically, the power marker is the preview marker, the first level in automatic dialing.
A preview marker is a click-to-call marker that allows you to preview contact details before dialing. You initiate one-click dialing, saving you the time it takes to dial individual phone numbers.
You have the option of pre-screening leads and queuing your outgoing calls. This feature is perfect when you are using lead scoring and you need to prioritize the best leads to call.
A preview dialer also allows you to prepare for your calls, which is ideal when making B2B sales calls or dealing with important accounts. Pause and take some time to get to know your potential customers. In this way, your approach is information-driven and personalized.
Predictive dialer - Predictive dialer is the best dialer (https://www.callmaker.se/hur-fungerar-en-dialer/" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline) for mass outbound calling campaigns and is commonly used in call centers. Think of a telecommunications agent calling to see if you switch to him. They need to go through a long list of phone users; And the predictive dialer is the best way to do it.

The predictive dialer automatically dials from a selected database and uses an algorithm to predict agent availability. It takes into account the number of agents, the average duration of the calls, the nature of the calls, the time of day and the algorithm to determine the number of calls to initiate at the same time. Once a live person answers on the other line, the predictive dialer transfers the call to an available agent. This minimizes downtime, but runs the risk of calls being dropped due to call transfer delays.
Imagine being the person on the other line and no one responds when you say "hello." You will hang up the call, right? This is a risk in predictive dialers that can be prevented when using accurate and representative data.
Progressive dialer: When your customers are B2B or you have quality leads, the best way to go through a long list of leads is the progressive dialer. Like its predictive counterpart, the progressive dialer automatically dials from its database. However, it only does so when you indicate your availability. It then filters calls that received busy signals, modem signals, and did not answer. The agent has to be the one to determine between a live person and an answering machine. After the call status has been updated, the dialer moves to the next number in the database.
While not as efficient as the predictive dialer, the progressive dialer offers more freedom to make personalized quality calls. It's less than an agent's talk time per hour; and more on how to minimize downtime between quality calls.

Which Call Center Dialer Is Best For You?
When it's time to enter the world of automatic dialing, pause for a bit and step back. What works best for one company may not be the best fit for yours. Take a look at your operations and evaluate the call center dialer that best suits your needs.
Are you making outgoing calls? This is typical for special offers on consumer items, such as cable subscriptions. So you could benefit from a predictive dialer. Just make sure you've collected enough data first. This ensures efficient call distribution and fewer abandoned calls.
If your calls are often to warm up leads and you end up closing the deal, use a dialer that gives plenty of room for quality interactions. Progressive and preview markers are good options. Or, you can choose a combination of markers like CallMaker (https://www.callmaker.se/" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline) through a platform that allows multiple types of markers.

Me parece muy interesante toda la información que se comparte por aquí. Yo actualmente me estoy iniciando en el mundo del diseño, pero he colaborado como redactor de artículos como https://cosasycasos.com/alopecia-causas-y-tratamientos/ que trata sobre tratamientos para la alopecia. Pero más adelante espero poder crear mi propia pagina web. Espero poder seguir viendo muchas cosas que puedan ayudarme.
