How to query a lookup on a lookup in salesforce SOQL - salesforce

I have an record type of case which has a lookup to an Opportunity which has lookup to Account. When a query is run with workbench it works fine and I can get the account- however when its run in apex only the Opportunity ID is returned, not the account. I am new to salesforce but this is driving me crazy- the fact that the query tool and the code would return different information is beyond me- any advice would be great!
SELECT RelatedOpportunity__r.Account.Name
FROM Case
from apex:
(Case:{RelatedOpportunity__c=0061k00000B5GqiAAF, Id=5001k00000FwaivAAB})

Everything is queried same way, write your code "normal".
System.debug(myCase) focuses on what's important, what's really on "this" record. It doesn't go "up" via lookups and "down" via subqueries (if you have any). It'd spam the debug logs too much.
(well, not even that. It's not System.debug's fault. It's supposed to emit strings. A case is an object, not a string so a toString() is called on it)
You can System.debug(myCase.RelatedOpportunity__r.Account); and you'll get your name. Or play with System.debug(JSON.serializePretty(myCase));
Even better - try to learn the right way from the start. Checking your code's flow by spamming debugs is passe. There's no true debugging of Apex (you can't attach say interactive debugger like with .NET, can't add breakpoints and pause execution like in JavaScript) but all cool kids use https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/projects/find-and-fix-bugs-with-apex-replay-debugger/apex-replay-debugger-debug-your-code, check it out.

Salesforce Apex CPU LImit

currently we are having issue with an CPU Limit. We do have a lot of processes that are most likely not optimized, I have already combined some processes for the same object but it is not enough. I am trying to understand logs rights now - as you can see on the screenshots, there is one process that is being called multiple times (I assume each time for created record). Even if I create, for example, 60 records in one operation/dml statement, the Process Builders still gets called 60 times? (this is what I think is happening) Is that a problem we are having right now? If so, is there a better way to do it? Because right now we need updates from PB to run, but I expected it should get bulkified or something like that. I was also thinking there might be some looping between processes. If there are more information you need, please let me know. Thank you.
Well, yes, the process builder will be invoked 60 times, 1 record at a time. But that shouldn't be your problem. The final update / create child records / email send (or whatever your action is) will be bulkified, it won't save 1 record at a time. If the process calls some apex actions - they're supposed to support passing collection of records, not just single record.
You maybe looking at wrong place. CPU time suggests code problems, not config (flow, workflow, process builder... although if you're doing updates of fields on "this" record it's possible you'd benefit from before-save flows). Try to compare timestamps related to METHOD_BEGIN, METHOD_END for triggers, code methods (including invocable action / process plugin interfaces).
Maybe there's code that doesn't need to run because key fields didn't change, there's nothing to recalculate, rollup. Hard to say without seeing the debug log.
Maybe the operation doesn't have to be immediate. Think if you can offload some stuff to "scheduled actions", "time based workflows" or in apex terms "#future, batchable, queueable". But they'd have to be relatively safe to run, if there's error - it won't display to the user because the action will be in the background, you'd need to handle the errors manually (send an email, create a record, make chatter post or bell notification).
You could try uploading the log to https://apextimeline.herokuapp.com/ and try to make sense out of that Gantt-chart-like output. Or capture the log "pro" way, with https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.code_dev_console_solving_problems_using_system_log.htm&type=5 or https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=financialforce.lana (you'll likely need developer's help to make sense out of it).

Watson Assistant - entity reference in Intents - I need to understand what I'm missing

I'm using watson assistant (plus) and I'm actually fighting with the correct usage of entity usage inside intent examples. First of all, inside the webUI I can't find trace of what mentioned in the documentation about entity suggestions, entity annotation inside intents examples..(we are on frankfurt server).
I have many intents in one skill and I decided to use entity mentions in intents examples. Having no trace of simplified way to add entity inside the single example, I directly wrote it inside the phrase.
From "What I need to activate MySpecificService ABC ?" to "What I need to activate #services:(MySpecificService ABC)", the same syntax used in dialog nodes.
I have used this method diffusely on my skill, according the documentation.
My problems starts here. Assistant refuse to detect the right intent when I try it.
If I ask "What I need to activate MyService Name?" the assistant detect a totally wrong intent, with low confidence (0.40 or less), and the correct intent does not appear neither as 2nd or 3rd intent (it correctly detect the entity).
No similar examples using exaclty #services:(MySpecificService ABC) in other intents, but I used other references to #services or #services:(otherservice name) in other intents.
I read documentation many times, I googled around, watched videos.. but nothing. Evidently I've misunderstood something.
Can You help me?
Intents are the actions/verbs that the user is trying to achieve. In this case, an intent could be the activation itself (no matter what is he trying to activate).
So you should write different examples of an activation question:
"How can I activate my service?", "I need to activate this service", etc.
The entities are the objects/substantives. In your case, services.
So in your dialog, if you are need the assistant to detect the intent+entity. So create a node with the condition #activation && #service:MySpecificService
Be aware that if you have several nodes in your dialog, their order will impact the way that your assistant analyzes the input. If the #activation && #service node is before the #activation && #service:MySpecificService node; the first one will be triggered as "MySpecificService" is one of the #services.
Hope that this helps!
im dealing with entities in intents as well and i think we're also on the frankfurt server.
Since youre on the frankfurt server im pretty sure the reason youre not seeing the annotation options is that youre using german language.
Annotations as mentioned in the documentation is only available for english language (unfortunately)

Custom Searcher - Blending of hits from different sources

We have a need for "Blending of hits from different sources", as per your documentation it is recommended to write a custom-searcher in JAVA. Is there a demo of this written somewhere on Github ? I wouldn't even know where to start :( I understand I can create search "chains" , preferably Asynchronous, and then blend results in JAVA before returning them...but then how would I handle paginations, limits...etc ? This all seems very complicated, for someone who doesn't even know JAVA that much. So, I am hoping someone has already written a demo for this ? Please ? Anyone ?
Thank you so much
EDIT to make my quesion clearer:
We are writing a search engine that fetches data from various websites. Some websites have 10mil indexable items, other websites only 100,000. When we present the results to end user, we want to include results from all our sources ( when match applies ). Let's say 10 results from each of the websites we crawl, so that they all get equal amount of attention on page. If we don't do custom blending, what happens is that the largest website with most items wins all our traffic.
I understand that we can send 10 separate queries to VESPA, and blend the results in our front end, but that seems very inefficient. Thus, the quesion of "Custome Searcher". Thank you so much !
That documentation covers some very advanced use cases which you do not have. Are your sources different Vespa schemas or content clusters? If so Vespa will by default blend the hits returned from each according to their relevance scores so there's nothing you need to do.
The two other most common use-cases are:
Some (or all) the data sources are external, so you need to write a Searcher component to fetch the external data and turn it into a Result.
You want the data to be blended in some custom way (rather than by relevance score). If so you need to exclude the default blending Searcher (com.yahoo.prelude.searcher.BlendingSearcher) and write your own.
If you provide some more information about your use cases I can give you some code examples.
EDIT: Use grouping to solve the need explained under "EDIT" in the question:
Create a "siteid" field when feeding (e.g in document processing).
Use the grouping expression all(group(siteid) each(max(10) output(summary())))
See http://docs.vespa.ai/documentation/grouping.html

Create many passes from the app - iphone passbook

SITUATION :
I have an application where i have to issue a gift cupon kind of a thing when the user reaches a certain score say 'x'.
I want to create a coupon with a unique QRcode, at the time the user reaches the score 'x' so that he can download it on his iphone and use it. Once it is used , the cupon should be invalidated. this applies to any user using the application. Meaning a coupon is created once the score is reached and deleted or invalidated once it is used.
ISSUE :
I'm not able to figure out how to create a cupon everytime any user reaches the score. Ofcourse, i did go through a lot of documentations and links like http://www.raywenderlich.com/20734/beginning-passbook-part-1. I also tried using pass-source but the valid account requires you to pay minimum about 8$.
As suggested in raywenderlich tutorials, i can create passes but thats not created through the application.
Also i didn't see any method where we can be notified when a user uses his issued coupon so that we can invalidate it.
Am i missing something here?
"Using" a QR code on a coupon means it is scanned by something else. That something else has to take responsibility to report the activity back to you, so you could then update the pass with an "Expired" flag in your database, re-sign and rebuild the pass, issue the push notification so that it would eventually update on the device. You'd also probably want that scanner-thingie to check with you to see that the code is valid before accepting it. So, yeah, not Apple's problem.

User information in Nancy

I'm knocking together a demo app based upon Nancy.Demo.Authentication.Forms.
I'm implementing Claims and UserName in my UserIdentity:IUserIdentity class and, as per the demo, I've got a UserModel with UserName.
In the SecureModule class, I can see that the Context.CurrentUser can be used to see who it is that's logged on, but as per the interface, this only supplies the username and the claims. If I then need to get more data (say messages for the logged on user) for a view model, all I can see to use as a filter for a db query is the username, which feels, well, weird. I'd much rather be using the uniqueIdentifier of the user.
I think what I'm trying to get to the bottom of, if it is better to add the extra fields to my IUserIdentity implementation, or to the UserModel? And where to populate these?
Not sure my question is that clear (It's not clear in my head!), but some general basic architecture advice would go down a treat.
Sorry for the delayed reply.. bit hectic at the moment :)
The IUserIdentity is the minimum interface required to use Nancy's built in authentication helpers, you can implement that and add as much additional information as you like to your class; it's similar to the standard .net IPrincipal. If you do add your own info you'll obviously have to cast to your implementation type to access the additional fields. We could add a CurrentUser method to stop you having to do that, but it seems a little redundant.
You can stop reading here if you like, or you can read on if you're interested in how forms auth works..
FormsAuth uses an implementation of IUsernameMapper (which is probably named wrong now) to convert between the Guid user identifier that's stored in the client cookie and the actual user (the IUserIdentity). It's worth noting that this GUID needs to be mapped to the user/id somewhere, but it's not intended to be your database primary key, it is merely a layer of indirection between your (probably predictable) user id/names and the "token" stored on the client. Although the cookies are encrypted and HMACd (depending on your configuration), if someone does manage to crack open and reconstruct the auth cookie they would have to guess someone else's GUID in order to impersonate them, rather than changing a username (to "admin" or something smilar), or an id (to 1 for the first user).
Hope that makes sense :)
