Preface – This post is part of “Salesforce Integration with SOAP API” series.In today’s post, we will go through the code to understand how we can update records using SOAP API and Java program. Before going into the Java program, I would request you guys to check the documentation @Update core call with SOAP APINote: I have written a helper class ConnectionHelper.java which I am using to connect to Salesforce using Enterprise WSDL. To know more about that, please refer my previous post @ Salesforce Integration with SOAP API – Part 4 – Java program for connecting to Salesforce using SOAP API and Enterprise WSDLNow below code will update Account record –  import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.EnterpriseConnection;import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.Error;import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.SaveResult;import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.sobject.Account;import com.sforce.ws.ConnectionException;public class UpdateAccount { private EnterpriseConnection enterpriseConnection; private UpdateAccount(){ setEnterpriseConnection(ConnectionHelper.doConnect()); } public static void main(String[] args){ UpdateAccount updateAccount = new UpdateAccount(); //Here you need to provide Account ID here updateAccount.doUpdateAccount(new String[]{“0019000001ByhBI”,”0019000000tvEQo”}); } private void doUpdateAccount(String[] ids){ Account[] toBeUpdatedAccount = new Account[ids.length]; for(int i = 0 ; i < ids.length ; i++){ Account tempAccount = new Account(); tempAccount.setId(ids[i]); tempAccount.setRating(“Hot”); toBeUpdatedAccount[i] = tempAccount; } //Update the account try{ SaveResult[] results = getEnterpriseConnection().update(toBeUpdatedAccount); for(SaveResult eachResult : results){ if(eachResult.isSuccess()){ System.out.println(“Account updated with ID: ” + eachResult.getId()); }else{ for(Error eachError : eachResult.getErrors()){ System.out.println(“Error message is: ” + eachError.getMessage()); } } } }catch(ConnectionException e){ e.printStackTrace(); } } public EnterpriseConnection getEnterpriseConnection() { return enterpriseConnection; } public void setEnterpriseConnection(EnterpriseConnection enterpriseConnection) { this.enterpriseConnection = enterpriseConnection; }}Now in the...

Preface – This post is part of “Salesforce Integration with SOAP API” series.As of now we have understood how we can query one or more record from Salesforce using query() and queryMore() methods. The posts are @Salesforce Integration with SOAP API – Part 5 – Query Account Record with Java programSalesforce Integration with SOAP API – Part 6 – Bulkify your code – Query more Account records with Java programBut what about creating records – Create() method is used to create one or more records in the Salesforce Org. This is basically doing the INSERT operation. The basic steps are given below –Create an array of sObject[] where each sObject is basically the record you want to create. You need to populate all the required fields.Call create(), passing the sObject[] arrayProcess the results in the SaveResult[] object.We should understand the below important points before going into the coding –API generates the unique ID fields automatically. As a developer, we can’t explicitly set the value of IDThere are few other fields also getting generated automatically and we can’t set them explicitly. The fields are CreatedDate, CreatedById, LastModifiedDate, LastModifiedById and SystemModstamp.For all required fields, if there is no default values, as a developer you need to provide the values.For all non-required fields, if you don’t provide any values, API will put null.As a developer, you need to respect the referential integrity....

Preface – This post is part of “Salesforce Integration with SOAP API” series.In my previous post, I have explained how to query Account record. The post is @Salesforce Integration with SOAP API – Part 5 – Query Account Record with Java programBut say for example, if you have huge amount of record you need to fetch from Salesforce using SOAP API, then what you should do? Basically how you can bulkify your code?Below is what Salesforce documented -Please have a look what Salesforce tells about QueryLocator. Before going to the code, you need to understand the importance of QueryLocator.Note: I have written a helper class ConnectionHelper.java which I am using to connect to Salesforce using Enterprise WSDL. To know more about that, please refer my previous post @ Salesforce Integration with SOAP API – Part 4 – Java program for connecting to Salesforce using SOAP API and Enterprise WSDLNow below is the Java code -import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.EnterpriseConnection;import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.QueryResult;import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.sobject.Account;import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.sobject.SObject;import com.sforce.ws.ConnectionException;public class QueryAllAccounts { private EnterpriseConnection connection; private QueryAllAccounts() { setConnection(ConnectionHelper.doConnect()); } public static void main(String[] args) { QueryAllAccounts queryAllAccounts = new QueryAllAccounts(); queryAllAccounts.doQuery(); } private void doQuery(){ QueryResult queryResult = new QueryResult(); try{ queryResult = getConnection().query(“SELECT Id,Name,Phone,Rating FROM Account”); boolean done = false; if(queryResult.getSize() > 0){ System.out.println(“Found ” + queryResult.getSize() + ” records.”); while(!done){ for(SObject sObject : queryResult.getRecords()){ Account anAccount = (Account)sObject; System.out.println(“Account ID: ” + anAccount.getId() + ” Account Name: ” + anAccount.getName() +...
