I'm building a composite application (Salesforce.com custom objects, reports, and dashboards; along with our own web services, Windows services, and web pages) with three other team members (two developers, one QA guy, one project manager).

At the moment, the master copy of our Salesforce.com custom objects resides in the developer account of a specifically designated team member. When we do a beta release, we publish to AppExchange from that designated account, then download to the other accounts. We use Perforce to store all of our .NET source code.

What strategies do other developers use to accomplish the following:

-- to capture the Salesforce.com customizations in a configuration management/source code control tool like Perforce, Visual SourceSafe, or Rational ClearCase?

-- to avoid designating a particular Salesforce.com account as the master? If any one of us four finds a misspelling or report formatting error, it would be convenient to check out the customizations and make the correction directly.

Hi All,

I want to fetch all the field of Lead object without specified column name like

e.g.
Lead l = select name, city from lead where id=xxxxxxxxxx; [ not want ]

I want some thing like

Lead I = select * from lead where id =xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Please help me .

Thanks in advance

I need to know what Timezone all of my Contacts are in for when my reps call them.  Is there any code that can take the area code from the phone number or the zipcode from the address and then process it and push back what Timezone the Contact is onto the page in a field I create?

Hi,

We have recently developed an integration for our online application with the Salesforce.com. The application requires user's Salesforce.com username and password for the integration. However, recently Salesforce has introduced Security Token which is absolutely not user friandly especially for new users who register for a free trial with our tool.

So the question is, is it possible to get the IP addresses of the servers where our application runs whitelisted to the Salesforce.com, so when the new users want to try out our integration with Salesforce they won't need to go through the annoying procedure of obtaining a security token? Is there a some sort of a partner program that allows doing that?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Im new to SalesForce.com, so please need ur advice:

Im trying to create a Event in SalesForce.com passing dates thru API.

1. For Instance Im passing 04 December 2007 5PM
2. Then its creating event as: 04 December 2007 11:30AM

So means exactly 5:30 hours behind. (India is 5:30 hours behind the GMT )

Now if I check the organization Timezone its GMT-8:00 (Pacific Standard Time)

So what I want is : When I pass this "04 December 2007 5PM " then Event should be created for this time "04 December 2007 5PM "

Can anyone please advice.

Regards

Hello,

We enable single sign-on to our application using C# which follows the example given in this tech note.

It's been working great for most of our clients, however with one client we always get an INVALID_SESSION_ID error.

I've noticed that this customer is on https://ssl.salesforce.com, whereas most of our other customers are on the NA servers (https://na2.salesforce.com, https://na3.salesforce.com).

We are setting the "server" argument in our code (just like in the tech note), and I've verified that the "server" argument passed to the  login page does match the client's server (ssl.salesforce.com)

Could this be the reason?  Has anyone else had this problem?  Is this a known issue?

Given that the code works for so many of our clients, and it's a copy of Salesforce's own tech note, I'm not sure what to do to troubleshoot.

Code:

while (stopLooping == false) { 

for (var i=0;i<_qrCases.records.length;i++) { 
var row; 
docContents += "<tr class=\"letraGris\">"; 



case = _qrCases.records[i];
var contactname=case.get("ContactId");
var idcase = case.get("Id");

docContents += "<td align='left'><a href = '/"+idcase+"' target=_parent> "+ case.get("Type")+"</a></td>";

docContents += "<td bgcolor=\"#F3F3EC\" width=1 nowrap><img src=\"https://na1.salesforce.com/s.gif\"></td>";

docContents += "<td align='left'><a href = '/"+idcase+"' target=_parent> "+ case.get("CaseNumber")+"</a></td>";

docContents += "<td bgcolor=\"#F3F3EC\" width=1 nowrap><img src=\"https://na1.salesforce.com/s.gif\"></td>";

//The next it's slow

if(contactname !=''){
var contactquery = sforceClient.Query("Select FirstName, LastName from Contact where Id='"+contactname+"'");
docContents += "<td align='left'><a href = '/"+contactname+"' target=_parent>"+contactquery.records[0].get("FirstName")+" "+contactquery.records[0].get("LastName")+"</a></td>";
docContents += "<td bgcolor=\"#F3F3EC\" width=1 nowrap><img src=\"https://na1.salesforce.com/s.gif\"></td>";}
else{
docContents += "<td align='left'></td>";
docContents += "<td bgcolor=\"#F3F3EC\" width=1 nowrap><img src=\"https://na1.salesforce.com/s.gif\"></td>";}

//***************

docContents += "<td align='left'><a href = '/"+idcase+"' target=_parent> "+case.get("Status")+"</a></td>";

docContents += "<td bgcolor=\"#F3F3EC\" width=1 nowrap><img src=\"https://na1.salesforce.com/s.gif\"></td>";

docContents += "<td align='left'><a href = '/"+idcase+"' target=_parent> "+case.get("LastModifiedById")+"</a></td>";

docContents += "<td bgcolor=\"#F3F3EC\" width=1 nowrap><img src=\"https://na1.salesforce.com/s.gif\"></td>";

docContents += "</tr>"; 
docContents += "<tr height='5'><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>";
_cases[case.get("Id")] = case; 
} //for

if (_qrCases.done == true) { 
stopLooping = true; 
} else { 
_qrCases = sforceClient.QueryMore(_qrCases.queryLocator); 
}
