Implementing Continuous Integration Using Jenkins and Git for Salesforce Development

Posted by | Mar 29, 2015 | , , , , , ,

Continuous Integration (CI) is a development practice the allows developers to check-in their changes into a shared repository unlimited number of times. Each check-in is then verified by an automated build system, thus eliminating the changes of breaking some other part of the application while fixing one part.By implementing Continuous Integration, you can detect errors quickly and locate them more easily. I always recommend to implement Continuous Integration in any kind of software projects. I personally implemented CI multiple times for Java and C++ projects in my career. Now last week, I implemented the same for Salesforce development. In today’s post, I will explain how to do that.Below are the prerequisite softwares -ANT – You can download the software from here.Salesforce Migration Tool – Please check the detail steps @ http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/daas/Content/forcemigrationtool_install.htmGit – You can download the software from here.Eclipse.Before we go further, I recommend you to go through the below posts to understand the concept.Version Controlling in Salesforce with Git + Eclipse.Salesforce Deployment Guide using ANT Migration Tool.Best Practices – Continuous Integration Techniques.Below picture will give you a high level overview about what I am going to achieve by implementing CI.Step 1 – Install Jenkins on your local machine by downloading the Java Web Archive (.war) from here. Once downloaded, execute the below command from the directory where you have saved -java -jar jenkins.warAfter that open your browser and go to http://localhost:8080/. You will...

Use Case 3 – WebSphere Cast Iron Integration – MySQL and Salesforce.com

Posted by | Mar 17, 2015 | , , , , , ,

Preface – This post is part of “WebSphere Cast Iron Cloud Integration with Salesforce.com” series.Today I will post how you can use WebSphere Cast Iron for integrating MySQL with Salesforce. Toady, in this example, I will fetch records from MySQL Table and then create the Salesforce object based on that record. So READY, STEADY and GO!!Note: I have used http://www.freemysqlhosting.net/ for creating free MySQL Database.Use Case:Below is the object structure -MySQL table looks like  – Implementation:Before we start implementing the above requirement, let’s create the Endpoints first.Endpoint – FTP:Endpoint – Salesforce:So all set. Now we will configure the integration by putting activities inside the Orchestration.Activity# 1: Database – Get Inserted Rows:In this activity, I will fetch the inserted rows from the database. Below are the configuration details -Activity# 2: Add If – Else Condition:The requirement is – if the Airport Name is blank, then terminate the process, else do an upsert into Salesforce.comThe configuration is displayed below -Activity# 3: Salesforce Upsert Objects:Below are the configuration details for this step – We are done. The final Orchestration looks like -Test the Integration -It’s time to test the configuration. First we need to start the orchestration and we can do that from Orchestration | Start Orchestration.After 5 seconds, if we see our Salesforce Airport object, we will be able to see that two records being created as shown below -COOL!!!If you follow the steps mentioned in this...

“Bulkify Your Code” – Another Example with Use Case

Posted by | Mar 13, 2015 | , , , ,

This post is the continuation of my previous post”Bulkify Your Code” – Explanation of Salesforce’ Governor Limit with Use CaseUse Case -I have two custom objects (Airport__c and Country__c). Below screenshot will give you field details.My requirement is to make sure when I am inserting an Airport record, I need to check whether the country mentioned in the record is already present in the Country object, if not, then create a new Country record with name same as mentioned in the Airport’s Country field provided that Aiport is operational i.e. Operational__c == true.Solution -Initially it may look like the requirement is very easy to implement. But we need to keep in mind the Salesforce’s Governor Limit.If we go ahead with the approach of iterating over each new Airport record and then do a query against Country object to check whether that country is already there in the system, we will quickly hit Salesforce’s Governor Limit – “Total number of SOQL Issued – 100 (Synchronized) and 200 (Asynchronized)”.So we need to make sure that our code is efficient. Below is the optimized trigger which can handle the requirement and at the same time will make sure that we will not hit by Governor limit.trigger AirportTrigger on Airport__c (after insert) { List<Country__c> allCountries = new List<Country__c>(); List<String> allCountryNames = new List<String>(); //Fetch all Country Name and put it into a list...
