Salesforce’s URL Structure

Salesforce’s URL Structure

This post was inspired by Mike Schinkel’s “URL Structure”.
Finally found the structure to delete a record in SF, adding it below. Eoin
Here’s a quick introduction to understand the structure of all the URLs in Salesforce:

Instances

Salesforce’s organizations reside on multiple instances, to find out what instance you’re on, once you logged into Salesforce, have a look at the address bar; you’ll notice the URL starts with something like:
  • ssl - North America #0 (aka na0)
  • na1 - North America #1
  • na2 - North America #2
  • na3 - North America #3-
  • na4 - North America #4
  • na5 - North America #5
  • emea - Europe, Middle East, Africa
  • ap - Asia, Pacific
  • tapp0 - Sandbox #0
  • tapp1 - Sandbox #1
https://xyz.salesforce.com where xyz is the name of the instance your organization is on.

Objects’ specific URLs

Every Salesforce’s object has it’s specific URL, here are listed the links to the standard objects:
Objects URLs Objects’ code
Accounts https://[instance].salesforce.com/001/o 001
Contacts https://[instance].salesforce.com/003/o 003
Leads https://[instance].salesforce.com/00Q/o 00Q
Cases https://[instance].salesforce.com/500/o 500
Solutions https://[instance].salesforce.com/501/o 501
Reports https://[instance].salesforce.com/00O/o 00O
Opportunities https://[instance].salesforce.com/006/o 006
Campaigns https://[instance].salesforce.com/701/o 701
Products https://[instance].salesforce.com/01t/o 01t

Basic action URLs

Use the following URLs to perform the listed operations on a specific object. Note this is fundamental to then understand how to create internal custom links.
Object’s overview page
https://[instance].salesforce.com/[object]/o
Create a new record
https://[instance].salesforce.com/[object]/e?retURL=/[object_code]/o
Edit a record
https://[instance].salesforce.com/[object]/[recordID]/e?retURL=[recordID]
Clone a record
https://[instance].salesforce.com/[object]/[recordID]/e?retURL=[recordID]&clone=1
Delete a record
https://[instance].salesforce.com/setup/own/deleteredirect.jsp?delID=[recordID]
where:
  • [instance] is the instance’s name your organization resides on;
  • [object] is the object’s code;
  • [recordID] is the ID of the record itself.

History Tracking


  • You can select a combination of up to 20 standard and custom fields per object.
  • You cannot track the following fields:
    • History of formula, roll-up summary, or auto-number
    • Created By and Last Modified By
    • Expected Revenue field on opportunities
    • Master Solution Title or the Master Solution Details fields on solutions; these fields display only for translated solutions in organizations with multilingual solutions enabled.

Convert String to Date format

string str='7/28/2013';     /*Format must be mm/dd/yyyy
Date dt=Date.parse(str);

orstring str='2013/7/28';     /*Format must be yyyy/mm/dd
Date dt=Date.valueof(str);


Enabling Bulk API option in Data Loader

The Bulk API is optimized to load or delete a large number of records asynchronously. It is faster than the SOAP-based API due to parallel processing and fewer network round-trips. By default, Data Loader uses the SOAP-based API to process records.
To configure Data Loader to use the Bulk API for inserting, updating, upserting, deleting, and hard deleting records:

  1. Start Data Loader by choosing Start | Programs | salesforce.com | Data Loader | Data Loader.
  2. Choose Settings | Settings.
  3. Select the Use Bulk API option.
  4. Click OK.

Note: You can also select the Enable serial mode for Bulk API option. Processing in parallel can cause database contention. When this is severe, the load may fail. Using serial mode guarantees that batches are processed one at a time. Note that using this option may significantly increase the processing time for a load.

Mass Email Users

Problem:
Why we get the following error when sending mail through a class "System.EmailException: SendEmail failed. First exception on row 0; first error: NO_MASS_MAIL_PERMISSION, Single email is not enabled for your organization or profile. Single email must be enabled for you to use this feature.: []" 

Solution:
The reasons are :

-Trial accounts do not allow the use of mass email. You will have to purchase a license to go live with your org.

-You are missing a permission in the backend and must log a case with Salesforce support to enable "Respect SendEmail API" and "SendEmail API".

-The access level might have been set to "system e-mails".
 In setup | Administration setup | Email Administration | Deliverability, verify if the access level is set to "All e-mails".

The e-mail deliverability is a new feature released in spring 13 and as per the release notes, all newly refreshed sandboxes default to "system email only"

Mass Assigning Permission Sets via the API using Workbench




The most efficient way to assign multiple users a permission set at once is through the API with Workbench. Workbench is a powerful, web­based suite of tools designed for System Administrators and developers to manage data within Salesforce orgs via the Force.com APIs.


In order to mass assign a permission set to a group of users, two pieces of information are required; the permission set ID and the user IDs of the users you wish to assign it to. The steps below will outline how to gather this information and create the .csv file you will use to mass assign your permission sets.


To access Workbench, log into your Work.com on Salesforce Org. Paste this URL into your open browser window: https://workbench.developerforce.com/login.php


Download a .csv of your User ID’s by running the query below. 1. Choose SOQL Query in the Jump to drop down menu

2. Choose User in the Object drop down menu
3. Click Select
4. In the Fields section, highlight both ID and Name
5. Select the Bulk CSV radio button
6. Click Query

7. Click on the download symbol to download the .csv


The headers of the .csv will include: ID and Name



8. Click on the download to open the file and Save As User.csv” to your desktop


Find the ID of the permission set to be assigned

1. From Setup choose Manage Users | Permission Sets | <Name of Permission Set> a. Find the number following the last forward slash (/) in the url. e.g if the url is
https://na8.salesforce.com/0PSC0000000KQdP then 0PSC0000000KQdP is the ID of the permission set.
2. Copy this ID as you will add it to the .csv in the next step


Modify the .csv for upload




1. In the User.csv file, find the users you would like to assign the permission set to, and delete the other rows
2. Delete all the data in the Name column

3. Rename the header of the Name column to PermissionSetId 4. Rename the ID column to AssingeeId
5. Add the Permission Set ID that you copied in the previous steps and paste into all of the rows uner the PermissionSetId header


Your .csv file should look similar to this:


Upload the .csv to assign the permission set 1. From the Data menu in workbench select Insert

2. Choose PermissionSetAssignment in the Object Type drop down menu 3. Select the From File radio button
4. Select Choose File and find the User.csv file you saved to your desktop

 . Once you have selected the file to upload, click Next



You will then be directed to the following page:



 
6. Click Map Fields

. Click Confirm Insert


An Insert Successful message will be displayed


Confirm the Permission Set has been assigned to a user on the User Detail Page.
1. From Setup choose Manage Users | Users| <Name of User>

2. Navigate to the Permission Set Assigned Related list to confirm it has been assigned correctly
