Hello Marziya,

Profile tell us what type of tab, object, field and CRED access a user has and role defines record level access of the user.

[Udit]

Because opportunity and contact are not directly related to each other. Opportunity is related to account and account is related to contact.

Hello Kirandeep,

To convert a master detail relationship to look up relationship, we have to remove the roll up summary field from master because look up does not supports roll up summary field in Salesforce.

Hello Ayush,

In Salesforce, it is possible that two users can have the same profile but one user can have only one profile at one time.

[Udit]

We can only have 100 scheduled apex jobs at one time.

[Udit]

Yes, OWD 'Control by Parent' option is available for both standard and custom objects.

If there is a Master-Detail relationship between standard or custom object then access of child will be define/controlled by the parent or master.

Hello Anuj,

WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language. WSDL file is basically a map to understand how to use API.

WSDL contains bindings, protocols and objects to make API calls. It comes in an XML format which tells us how to communicate using a web service.

Hello Arun,

We can create multiple triggers on an object but as per best practice we can only have one trigger active per object at a time.

Sandbox is a copy of our production environment in Salesforce. We can create multiple copies of any organization in different environments for different purposes like testing, development.
With sandbox we don't have to compromise the data and applications in production organization.

Operations in Sandbox do not effect any functionality in productions org as sandboxes are isolated.

Types of Sandboxes:

1. Developer Sandbox

2. Developer Pro Sandbox

3. Partial Data Sandbox

4. Full Sandbox

isSuccess() methods returns a boolean value if a batch runs successfully for an object.

Standard profile are those profiles which are provided by Salesforce to us. Standard profiles have the standard functionality. We only have limited number of settings in Salesforce as compare to custom profiles which we create by cloning standard profiles.

Several Standard Profiles which we have and are used mostly are:

1. System Administrator
2. Standard User
3. Read Only
4. Solution Manager
5. Marketing User
6. Contract Manager etc.

Sharing rules are used to provide horizontal record access to the users which are on same level. These are based on record ownership or criteria.

We can define sharing rules for every standard or custom object in our Salesforce org.

Sharing rules let you make automatic exceptions to organization-wide sharing settings for particular sets of users, to give them access to records they don't own or can't normally see.

Hello Kirandeep,

I don't think this is possible as approval process is for approval or rejection by user. So, without approver, approval process won't work.

[Udit]

There are three methods in Batch Apex.

1. Start: This method is called at the very beginning and it is used to collect the records through query or objects to be passed to the execute method.
   Syntax: global (Database.QueryLocator | Iterable<sObject>) start(Database.BatchableContext bc) {}
2. Execute: We use this method to do required processing for every chunk of data.
   Syntax: global void execute(Database.BatchableContext BC, list<ListOfRecords>){}
3.  Finish: This method is executed after all the batches are processed. We can use this method to send email confirmations or execute post processing operations.
   Syntax: global void finish(Database.BatchableContext BC){}

Yes, we can create parallel approval process in Salesforce.

In simple terms, parallel approval sends the approval notification to multiple managers. We can set up to 25 approvers in parallel approval process. We can configured to pass the approval once when:

1. All of the managers approve it
2.  Or one of them approves it

[Udit]

allOrNone specifies the operation allows partial success in database methods. We have to pass Boolean value to it.

If it is true then an exception is thrown if method is not successful and if set to false, remainder of failed DML can still succeed.

Managed package is used by the partners of salesforce to sell or distribute their applications to the customers. Components installed from managed package cannot be edited afterwards.

Unmanaged package are open source or application templates consist of basic building blocks for developers. In unmanaged package, components can be edited after installation.

Hello Anjali,

ViewState holds the state of the VF page. It includes fields, components and controller state.

View State stores small amount of data. Salesforce has allowed maximum of 170 KB of memory to ViewState.

 

[Udit]

Database.insert() gives partial success results. When using this if any error occurs, the remaining records will be inserted/updated.

Syntax: Database.insert(recordsToinsert, allOrNone)

allOrNone is optional parameter which specifies the partial success of operation.

[Udit]

Bucket fields is a functionality which is used to do categorisation in salesforce reports. Instead of using custom formula fields, we can use bucket fields to categorise data into reports.

We can categorise the data in only below data types fields:

1. Picklist
2. Number
3. Text

Hello Kirandeep,

Data in recycle bin gets automatically deleted after 15 days.
Data also gets deleted if recycle bin reaches up to its maximum size limit.
One can also delete data through user interface, API or apex code.

Please let me know if you have any further query about the same.

Thanks,

Udit

To report on historical data, we use reporting snapshots formerly known as analytics snapshot

Tabular and Summary report can be used to create reporting snapshot.

Lead and Case are the two standard objects with an additional sharing access i.e Transfer.

The Public Full Access and Public Read/Write/Transfer sharing settings give all users the ability to transfer ownership of that type of record as long as they have the appropriate “Edit” permission.

We can't set sharing access to sub folders in reports and dashboards individually. Sub-folders inherit the parent folder sharing setting.
