I am using salesforce rest api to pull meeting data.There is a field "WhoId" in the reponse which according to the documentation is the related lead or contact id .How do i find whether it is a lead or contact?
You can always tell what sort of object an ID corresponds to by looking at the first 3 letters. In your case, you'd look for a prefix of 00Q (Lead) or 003 (Contact).

I have an Account object in Salesforce and I have an custom field called ExternalText. I have marked the field as and External Id and
"Set this field as the unique record identifier from an external system"
There are 2 accounts that have this field set to a value of E1 in Salesforce.
I want to do an upsert from a csv file using DataLoader and the csv looks something like this:
External Description
E1 Description 1
E1 Description 2
But when i do the upsert i get the error:
ExternalTest: more than one record found for external id field: [<id1>, <id2>]
I would have expected the Description field for both to be updated to Description 1 and then Description 2, so if i view the object in Salesforce the Description field would say Description 2
How can i do this ?
You can't do it like that. Upsert has to find 0 or exactly 1 record with that external id. On 0 it'll try to create, on 1 it'll try to update, anything else - error.
For most normal usages you'll want fields marked as ext id to also be marked unique. If this isn't unique at source - you need different value in your field or bite the bullet, learn SF record IDs and do plain old query + update for example.
There's 1 edge case why ext id doesn't automatically mark field unique but if you rely on that technicality I'd say you have bigger problems. Imagine system where both UK and Germany created customer ID 123 and they want to push it to Salesforce. They both claim they were first and absolutely won't change their unique ID. So the trick is you can pull it off with right sharing rules. Upsert done with user that only sees UK data will work and update only UK customer. As I said - it's a technicality, in a "you think you're clever but you just made admin's job trickier" area.
I am new to SalesForce and SOQL so sorry in advance if the question has already been answered, if yes link it to me.
The aim of my SOQL query is to get all the contract information to generate PDF.
There are tables: Contract, Contact and Account
In the Contract table there are fields: Maitre_d_apprentissage__c, MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c, Apprenti__c, ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c
There are relationships:
Apprenti__r which link Apprenti__c to Contact table
Maitre_d_apprentissage__r which link Maitre_d_apprentissage__c to Contact table
When I looked at table, I saw that MaitreApprentissageNom1__c was equal to Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.LastName and ApprentiNom__c was equal to Apprenti__r.LastName. So I conclude I could get other information of Apprenti__c and Maitre_d_apprentissage__c from the Contact Table following the same principle. So I added to my query Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c and Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c to get the Date_de_naissance__c field which is in my Contact table.
I see in the results that the query succeeds in getting the information but some values have changed column (lines 6 and 7), you can see the difference between query 1 and query 2. In the first query I only return the Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c and in the second query I return Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c and Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c
Query 1:
SELECT ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c, Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c, MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c
FROM Contract
Result 1:
Query 2:
SELECT ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c, Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c, MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c, Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c
FROM Contract
Result 2:
I would like to understand from where is coming the problem and how to correct it. Thank you in advance.
It's possible that it's just your query editor displaying stuff incorrectly. You can see it got confused with 2 lookups to Contact table, why there's even a column header "Contact.Date_de_naissance__c" (and why it's there twice). And they aren't shown in the order you requested...
What editor you're using? You could try built-in "Developer Console" or http://workbench.developerforce.com/
What do you need it for? In Apex order of fields won't matter, in REST API query the values fetched via lookup will come as JSON sub-objects so there will always be a way to figure out exactly which value is coming from which relation.
In Dev Console try to run this and check if it solves your fears:
System.debug(JSON.serializePretty([SELECT
ApprentiNom__c, ApprentiPrenom__c,
Apprenti__r.Date_de_naissance__c,
MaitreApprentissageNom1__c, MaitreApprentissagePrenom1__c,
Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.Date_de_naissance__c
FROM Contract]));
Then add Maitre_d_apprentissage__r.LastName to query and see what changed, what stayed as is.
I would like to know how to get all deposits of a target customer with the following SDK (https://github.com/intuit/QuickBooks-V3-PHP-SDK).
Is there an easier way than getting all deposits, then looping to extract the wanted customer's deposits?
Official QBO answer:
You can get complete deposit list by querying the “Query a deposit”
API end point. If we use filter in query, then it may return incorrect
results. Better you can iterate the response and add filter logic in
your code and get specified
I have a salesforce query that extracting users time report
SELECT ID,Logged_Date__c ,CreatedBy.Email, CreatedBy.id, CreatedBy.Name, Time_Spent_Hours__c, Activity__c, CaseId__r.CaseNumber, CaseId__r.Account.id, CaseId__r.Account.Name , Utilized__c
FROM Time_and_Placement_Tracking__c
The Activity__c returns with the activity text.
I was trying to use Activity__c.Id, Activity__r etc. but all returns with error.
Is there a way to get the Activity id?
Verify these
You need to get to the object definition and see the field info. You can use workbench or any other API tool if you are familiar with and get the object and field def's.
Check the data type for Activity__c field. It should be a lookup/master relation. If it is not, find the field which ties to Activity object.
Open the field to get the API name and use that in the query with a '__r' extension.
I am newbie to solr. So please bear with me.
Use cases
User can share his photos to friends or publicly or make it private.
User can search for people or photos(he should view only public photos, shared with him).
I have denormalized my relational data to solr schema. I have merged the user object & photo object into solr schema
So,
If user jack (user 3) is searching for "picnic" He shouldn't see the photo_1 but see photo_2.
If user venu is searching for "picnic" He should see the photo_1 and photo_2.
How can I force solr to look into friends_ids, share_level field? can I do with facet.field? Is dynamic fields work for this case? I have read some tutorials but I am not getting clear picture.
Hope you guys shed some light on this. So that I can take forward. I hope this should be possible.
Thanks in advance!
You should have a string field for share_level, with possible value of private, public, friends.
You should also have a multiValued field for friends_ids,
and it should store each user id instead of the current CSV format
NOTE: you should revised this column type, NEVER use CSV in mysql, use a proper entity relationship
So, once you have the field ready, and complete the reindex,
to search for photo will be just:
+name:$search +(share_level:public (+share_level:friends +friends_ids:$uid))
$search = picnic
$uid = 3 (jack)
