Query on Sales force API

Hello,

I have few questions regarding sales Force API.

Currently i am using sales force as a CRM application on my project.

I have already downloaded the api of sales force and I am able to perform many operation through my application (select the lead,update the lead etc).

now I would like to access my application through sales force, Is there is any way to access my application from sales force.

If I will create any lead on sales force manually then I want my database should be updated with new lead.

It would be great if I get the solution ASAP.

Thanks in advance

Thanks & Regards

Thanks Simon for your quick reply.
 
I have few more queries regarding SalesForce API.
 
As per my client words he siad many companies will be having their prospect on salesforce with their saperate account.
my question is if i want to access the leads of all the companies then how i can i do this.
 
as i have my account on salesforce and i have my own wsdl(API), from my API web service i am only able to access only my account related leads, contacts. and others information.
 
Is their is any way to access every companies Leads,Contact etc.. from a common API.
 
 
 
Thanks in advance.

The Partner API is completely metadata driven and allows you to write a single piece of code that will work with many different accounts. You will of course still need credentials for those different accounts.

Hi Simon,
As per as your last post you mention that i can use partner wsdl on behalf of Enterprise wsdl..
 
is it true.
should i go for Partner wsdl?
 
I am also using out bound messaging as you told me to reflact the changes on my local database.
 
my question is in Outbound messaging what shoud be the Endpoint URL?
it should be webservice or it can be any aspx page ?
can i handle the outbound messge response in aspx page ?
 
 
Thanks in advance.
Manas
SuperfellSuperfell
is what true? the partner WSDL is available for anyone to use.

This, and your outbound messaging questions are covered in the API docs.
MunnaMunna
Hi Simon,
 
hope you doing great.?
 
Can you please expain me the main difference beetween Enterprise WSDL and partner WSDL.
i din't find any difference beetween them.
 
As i an access any accont information by using Enterprise wsdl by passing username and password from my application.
 
so where is the diffrence?
 
 
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
 
do you have any idea on getupdated() and getdeleted() method on salesforce(for data replication)?
this function accept  3 parameters.
1- Object type(Lead,Account,Contact).
2-Start date
3 End date
my question is.
this function not accept start date gretaer then 1 month back.
soppose if i pass start as 2 months back then it's give error.
as per my requeirment my problam will not solve by using this function if it will not  accept start date greater the only 1 month back.
 
is there is any way to solve this kind of problam?
 
also ia m not able to download partner wsdl..
as on salesforce there is no such option like. Setup | Integrate | Apex API
 
the option is avialable with salesforce is Setup | Develop |  API  on this location i am able to find option to download enterprise wsdl and partner wsdl.
 
so i would like to know from above both locaion i can download the same wsdl
 
 
Thanks in advance.

use query to catch up to the current state, then use getUpdated / getDeleted to get incremental updates.

I don't follow your other question question, if you've found the page that lists the WSDLs, then go ahead and download the one you want.
MunnaMunna
Hi Simon.
 
I am not getting the solution you gave me.
how can i catch up the current sate through query..
can you please explain me.
 
getdeleted() method is not accepting the start date 1 month back ago. it's give me an error with  INVALID_REPLICATION_DATE.
 
how can i handle this at my application.
soppose if user will login to salesfore today and user will update any lead.
 
then again user login to salesforce after 2 months then start date will be 2 months back.
as we are maintaning LastLogin time at our database to find out start date.
 
please help me out on this.
 
Thanks in advance
Manas

Hi Simon

If i would like to view my applilcation screens(.aspx pages)  from within salesforce.

how can i do this.

please let me know the steps for this.

 

 

Thanks in advance

Manas

getUpdated & getDeleted are used to replicate the state of an entire table. you can also replicate the state of an entire table by calling query to get all the current rows.

Can you explain what you're trying to achieve by calling getDeleted based on the last time the user logged in ?
MunnaMunna

Hi simon,

Actually i am using getDeleted() function at my end becouse if any lead is deleted on salesforce in the mean time then i can make check at my end through getDeleted function() as it retirn the id.

so that on the basis of Id's i can deleted same lead from my database as well.

 

Thanks & Regards

Manas

getDeleted does not support time frames larger than one month, so you're either going to need to call it more often, or do something different. query can return you all the existing Ids, which you can use to work out which ones got deleted.

create a web tab, it can host your .aspx page(s) as a tab within salesforce.com (setup -> create -> tabs -> web tab)

but i would like to clear few things from your side that i am going on a right track or not..

through App Exchange i can make my application as a package and make it publically available to others salesforce user so that they can use my application.

but right now my application is private.how can i make it  publically available on App Exchange?

is there is any specfic API for App Exchange? right now i din't find any API.

do you thing it's sonds good that i need salesforce user name and password of every salesforce user who want to use my application?

one more thing if missed out any important features of APP Exchange then please let me know.

if is there is any specfic document of App Exchange then please provide me the link where i can find step by step guidelines.

and at last i want to know from your side why App Exchange?

Thanks in advance.

see https://www.salesforce.com/appexchange/publishing/ for appExchange info.

If you're using web tabs, then you can use mergeFields to get an API session for the user, so you don't need to have them login with their username & password.
