I've been connecting systems via API's for years.  So, JSRemoting isn't anything mind blowing to me.  It's been a great tool on a recent project that I've been working on.  All the plumbing is working and the VF Page looks, and responds, amazingly, both on the desktop and Salesforce1.  

My question: Does JSRemoting use any API Limits?  What other considerations should I be concerned about from an architectural perspective when using JSRemoting?

I'm quite new to Service Cloud and my Admin is on vacation, so I am filling in for him.  I am trying to understand where the Softphone Layout's "Display these call-related fields" comes from.  How did SalesForce compile that list of available fields? 

 

Ultimately, I am trying to take a field that is displaying properly right now on the Soft Phone and prepopulate a Case custom field, but I can't find where that field originates so that I can push it over to case. 

 

Please help!

 

Thanks in Advance!

I have a customer who needs to set the End Date on a Scheduled Apex job.  The Scheduled Apex is submitted by Apex, yet when we go through the UI, the End Date is blank and there appears to be no way to set it. 

 

So, does anyone know how you can set the the EndDate, via Apex, when submitting a new Scheduled Job?  I am using the System.ScheduleJob method and am NOT trying to use an Insert DML on CronTrigger

 

Thanks in advance...

I'm building an AppExchange app where my customer has given me the direction that I should be targetting customers on the Force.com platform with Professional and above. 

 

My question: Do you get multiple page layouts within Professional when the layouts come with the AppExchange app?

 

I know that Professional typically only provides a single Page Layout per SObject, but I am just wondering if this is somehow different when bundled within an AppExchange app.

 

Thanks in advance.

I am building an AppExchange app and I am working through the data model.  I have several fields that naturally belong on User, but because this is an AppExchange application I am wondering if it is best/better practice to create a new SObject that has a Lookup to User and place the fields that I need in that SObject.

 

Are there any best practices?  Should I extend the User and use a Trigger to enforce that the relationship always be 1-to-1 (instead of 1-to-many)?  or should I just collapse all the fields into the User object and make things simple?

 

Thanks in advance.

I'm a new admin trying to get my feel wet writing workflow formulas. I'm not sure if this is what I need or if I'll need a trigger instead. I'd like a checkbox to update on the Contact record when someone becomes attached to a Campaign with a certain record type (i.e. a Campaign Member record is created or deleted). Any suggestions would be incredibly helpful! 

Hi,

I'm trying to create a visualforce page which filters the standard Opportunity record type selection page based on the related Account record type. I'm getting this error upon saving my VF:

Error: Unknown property 'AccountStandardController.recTypeID'

Here's my code:

VF:
<apex:page standardController="Account">
    <apex:form >
            <apex:selectList value="{!recTypeID}" size="1">
                <apex:selectOptions value="{!myOptions}"></apex:selectOptions>
            </apex:selectList>         
    <apex:commandButton value="Next" Action="{!continue}"/>
    </apex:form>
</apex:page>


Controller:

public class myController {

        public List<SelectOption> opts             {get;set;}
        private String oType                        {get;set;}
        public Id recTypeId                         {get;set;}

        myController(){
            oType = 'Opportunity';
        }

        public List<SelectOption> myOptions() {
            opts = new List<SelectOption>();

            opts.add(new SelectOption('','--Please Select Record Type --'));

            for(RecordType rts : [Select Id, DeveloperName, Name From RecordType Where SObjectType = 'Opportunity']) {
            opts.add(new SelectOption(rts.id,rts.name));
            }

                Map<String,List<String>> mapping = new Map<String,List<String>>();
                mapping.put('Small_Medium_Sized_Business', new List<String>{'Defined_Benefit_Retirement','Defined_Contribution_Retirement'});


            return opts;
        }
    }

Hello,

I'm having some trouble with my VisualForce page. What I'm trying to do is create a table that shows relevant objects and a button next to each object. When the user clicks the button, it should change to the next page and pass the Id of the object along.

Here's what I have so far...

<apex:page Controller="ReceiveInventory" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" title="Select Lot">
<div style="zoom:300%;">

<script>
    function confirmCancel() {
        var isCancel = confirm("Are you sure you wish to cancel?");
        if (isCancel) return true;  
        
        return false;
    }  
</script>

<apex:form id="all">
<apex:outputText >Please select the lot you have scanned.<br /><br /></apex:outputText>
<apex:pageBlock >
<apex:pageBlockSection title="Lots" id="LotsTable" columns="1">
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!lots}" var="lot">
<apex:column >
    <apex:commandButton action="{!step3}" value="Choose Lot" rerender="all">
            <apex:param name="chosenLotParam" value="{!lot.Id}" assignTo="{!chosenLot}" />
    </apex:commandButton>
</apex:column>
<apex:column value="{!lot.Name}" />
<apex:column value="{!lot.Quantity__c}" />
<apex:column value="{!lot.Date_Ordered__c}" />
</apex:pageBlockTable>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
<apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel" onclick="return confirmCancel()" immediate="true" />
</apex:form>

</div>
</apex:page>

Relevant Apex code from ReceiveInventory class:

public with sharing class ReceiveInventory {

	public String chosenLot {get;set;}
	
	public PageReference step3 () {		
		system.debug('Chosen Lot: ' + chosenLot);
		PageReference pageref3 = Page.ReceiveInventory3;
		pageref3.getParameters().put('chosenLot',chosenLot);
		return pageref3;
	}
}

I've got the page displaying the objects and the buttons fine, however, it doesn't do what expected. When I click a button, nothing seems to happen; however, looking at the debug log, I see the debug line from above ("Chosen Lot: xxxxxx"). When I click the button again, I get an error page saying "The page you submitted was invalid for your session. Please click Save again to confirm your change.".

I was trying to model my code a little bit after this link (http://bobbuzzard.blogspot.com/2011/07/passing-parameters-to-apex-method-from.html).

If anyone could chip in and suggest how I can fix this issue, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

In the custom webservice response, the tags are sorted alphabetically by salesforce automatically. Is there any way to control order of the tags in the custom webservice response?

More Details:
This is for Inbound service from another system to Salesforce. For this, we have writted a custom webservice in which the response tags are as below.

HEADER
PAYLOD
MESSAGE

In the response XML generated from salesforce, the above tags are rearranged as below.

HEADER
MESSAGE
PAYLOAD

which is causing the problem in the source system to process the response.

Is there anyway in salesforce to control the order/sequence of the tags in the response XML generated by Salesforce in the custom webservice.

HI,

Hello All,

I have a strange requirement! I need a clarification, that can we run Batch Classes or Schedule apex jobs through SQL Scripts (From SQL Server)??
If so, Could anyone please share the step-to-step procedures to do so?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I have been suffering with lack of logic from last couple of days.
i want to write a trigger on account object custom field which will calculate revenue for current fiscal yearYTD based on oppotunity amount.
once the current fiscal yearYTD gets changed again calculations start from next fiscal yearYTD.(that mean whatever value stored for last current fiscal yearYTD need to be override with urrent fiscal yearYTD)
Can somebody help me in figure out the best approach to get current fiscalYTD.
I hope i'm clear with my question.

Thanks in Advance

Thanks&Regards
Lakshman
