How do I query more than 50000 records in Salesforce?

You cannot retrieve more than 50,000 records your SOQL calls in a single context. However, with Batch Apex your logic will be processed in chunks of anywhere from 1 to 200 records in a batch. You'd need to modify your business logic to take the batching into account if necessary.

How is life of Salesforce developer?

What is replay ID in Salesforce?

ReplayId System Field The ReplayId field value, which is populated by the system when the event is delivered to subscribers, refers to the position of the event in the event stream. Replay ID values are not guaranteed to be contiguous for consecutive events.

What is the order of execution in Salesforce?

Apex Transactions. An Apex transaction represents a set of operations that are executed as a single unit.

When can you specify users in your organization to receive an email notification?

You can specify users in your organization to receive an email notification when they invoke Apex code that surpasses 50% of allocated governor limits. Only per-request limits are checked for sending email warnings; per-org limits like concurrent long-running requests are not checked.

Why does Apex run in a multitenant environment?

Because Apex runs in a multitenant environment, the Apex runtime engine strictly enforces limits so that runaway Apex code or processes don’t monopolize shared resources. If some Apex code exceeds a limit, the associated governor issues a runtime exception that can’t be handled. Set Up Governor Limit Email Warnings.

Apex Callouts in Read-Only Mode

During read-only mode, Apex callouts to external services execute and aren’t blocked by the system. Typically, you execute some follow-up operations in the same transaction after receiving a response from a callout. For example, you can make a DML call to update a Salesforce record.

Setting Callout Timeouts

The following example sets a custom timeout for Web services callouts. The example works with the sample WSDL file and the generated DocSamplePort class described in Generated WSDL2Apex Code. Set the timeout value in milliseconds by assigning a value to the special timeout_x variable on the stub.

Concurrent API Request Limits

The following table lists the limits for various types of orgs for concurrent inbound requests (calls) with a duration of 20 seconds or longer.

API Timeout Limits

The timeout limit for an API call is 600,000 milliseconds (10 minutes).

Total API Request Allocations

The following table lists the limits for the total inbound API requests (calls) per 24-hour period for an org.

What Happens If You Reach or Exceed Your API Request Limit

If your org reaches or exceeds its daily API request limit, Salesforce still allows the operations to proceed by a certain amount, if possible. This helps avoid blocking your workflows during unexpected spikes in workloads and occasional peak periods.

Increasing Total API Request Allocations

The calculation of the API request amounts based on user licenses is designed to allow sufficient capacity for your org based on your number of users. If you need a higher amount and you don’t want to purchase extra user licenses or upgrade to Performance Edition, you can purchase extra API calls.

Example API Usage Metering Calculations

The following examples illustrate API usage metering calculations for several scenarios.

Request Size Limits

In each REST call, the maximum length for the combined URI and headers is 16,384 bytes. A request exceeding this limit returns a 431 Request Header Fields Too Large error. If the URI itself exceeds this limit, the request returns a 414 URI Too Long error.

Hardware/Software Architecture

  • Logging in to the salesforce.com service
    We maintain a pool of servers to handle login traffic for all instances. A handful of servers from many (but not all) instances accept login requests and redirect the session to the user's home instance. This is what happens when you log in via login.salesforce.com. Customer traffic start…
  • Inside the instance
    The load balancer directs the traffic to the application tier of the given instance. At this tier, we service both standard web page traffic as well as our API traffic. API traffic makes up over 60% of the traffic serviced by our application tier overall. Depending on the needs of the customer's req…

Future Directions

  • On the database tier, we're carefully examining several options for data storage systems. We're also evaluating higher speed, lower latency interconnects such as Infiniband for our cluster interconnects with our existing database solution. In the future, we expect to make the search hosts do all reads and writes. We are in the process of rolling out Apache Solr for search indexin…
