Hi everyone!

I want to activate different components of my application for different customers/installations.

Any hints which is the best way to do this?

Options I consider:

1) Store Booleans for each component in a protected custom setting and check this each time the user tries to run a component. (http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Secure_Coding_Storing_Secrets#Apex_and_Visualforce_Applications  )

2) Store digitally signed string with the information somewhere and verify the signature and the Booleans inside each time a user tries to run a component. Slower for sure, but maybe more secure? I would try to use the Crypto Class for that ( http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apexcode/index_Left.htm#CSHID=apex_classes_restful_crypto.htm|StartTopic=Content%2Fapex_classes_restful_crypto.htm|SkinName=webhelp ).

Of course there mustn't be any way for customers to turn on components by themselves.

I would appreciate any hints very much :smileyhappy:, thank you,

Frodo

Hi All,

I did start with this thread: http://boards.developerforce.com/t5/General-Development/Install-Eclipse-Juno-4-2-with-Force-com-IDE/m-p/462323/highlight/true#M72103

But I am still running into the same problem. Here's my setup: 

Here's my setup

- Running Eclipse 4.2 as Admin (downloaded from here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/junor) and installed to desktop.

- JAVA_HOME set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_05 (upgraded from jdk1.6.0_23) downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1637583.html

- Tried installing the Force.com IDE from the Eclipse Marketplace and got this error:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Force.com IDE 25.0.0.201206181021 (com.salesforce.ide.feature.feature.group 25.0.0.201206181021)
  Missing requirement: Force.com IDE 25.0.0.201206181021 (com.salesforce.ide.feature.feature.group 25.0.0.201206181021) requires 'org.eclipse.update.ui 0.0.0' but it could not be found

Have I installed something incorrectly or overlooked something?

Hi Everyone,

when I try to install Eclipse Juno 4.2 with the force.com IDE I get the following error message:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Force.com IDE 25.0.0.201206181021 (com.salesforce.ide.feature.feature.group 25.0.0.201206181021)
  Missing requirement: Force.com IDE 25.0.0.201206181021 (com.salesforce.ide.feature.feature.group 25.0.0.201206181021) requires 'org.eclipse.update.ui 0.0.0' but it could not be found

 Does anyone know how to fix this?

Kind regards,

Otto

If I install my managed beta package into a new developer org the installation works fine.

If I install, then uninstall and re-install the installation still works fine.

But if I install, use "Manage" to create an org instance of a custom setting object, then uninstall and re-install the re-install fails with errors like these:

Apex Classes(01pA0000000i0ux) benefitclaimedactionstest.test()
System.DmlException: Insert failed. First exception on row 0;
first error: CANNOT_INSERT_UPDATE_ACTIVATE_ENTITY,
cvc.BenefitTrigger: execution of BeforeInsert

caused by: System.DmlException: Upsert failed. First exception on row 0;
first error: DUPLICATE_VALUE, duplicate value found:
SetupOwnerId duplicates value on record with id: 00DA0000000Y0TO: []

It appears the unit tests run as part of the install process are failing because of this underlying code (in this one case only):

public class CustomSettings {
    public static DateConversionFactors__c getDateConversionFactors() {
        if (DateConversionFactors__c.getOrgDefaults() == null) {
            insert new DateConversionFactors__c(SetupOwnerId = UserInfo.getOrganizationId());
        }
        return DateConversionFactors__c.getOrgDefaults();
    }
}

My best guess is that the uninstall is not cleaning up the data created when "Manage" was used completely and so the SetupOwnerId inserted here is being seen as a duplicate.

Does anyone have any experience of this problem or insight into how to avoid it?

Thanks,

Keith
