- Set the UI Setting to enable updates to records with inactive owners before deploying.
- Actually - make sure all your records are owned by active users anyway, or you may get this error OP_WITH_INVALID_USER_TYPE_EXCEPTION:Operation not valid for this user type:-- and it looks nasty http://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/24390/mysterious-op-with-invalid-user-type-exception-operation-not-valid-for-this-use
- Wait a while after you create a sandbox to start deployment or you will get a 503 error.
Issues
Setup
- It doesn't give you correct error messages until you go to deploy it.
- Bug? I have two fields on Campaign named Start Date (yeah, I know, I didn't set it up). The custom fields do not show. is this because it is just reading the metadata based on Label and not duplicating the fields?
- Yes! that is exactly what it is. I renamed the standard Start Date and End Date to XStart Date and XEnd Date and now the custom Start and End dates appear. PLEASE display fields based on API Name not Label.
- It doesn't seem to like dates with GMT offsets eg 2015-01-01T00:01:01+10:00 ERROR at Row:1:Column:70 line 1:70 mismatched character '+' expecting set null

I don't know how I did it but I was doing a final check after setting up a complex setup and I wanted to delete one data set. It deleted EVERYTHING. (This is documented, in the help docs now that I have the help docs, but you will probably do this before you realise how it all works). I bought them all back from the recycle bin but it had lost ALL its configuration. Start again. Then It added duplicate data sets, so I tried to replicate what I did by deleting everything, but then I had to go ahead and delete each record one by one. There is |
Deploy
- Grrr! I mass transferred all records to active owners BEFORE I deployed and I am still getting INVALID user errors on some Accounts even though the owner is a current user.
Questions
Setup
- What is Create Missing on External IDs - one was on a custom date field on Campaign - how would it create missing dates? Nothing in the docco about this.

WHYYYYYYY? Is this just a one-shot deal - once you do a deployment you can NEVER do another one? It went and DUPLICATED lots of data in my Sandbox when I started the deployment again. WHY!?!?!? This product would be so good if this was not the case? But then could not create many of the related records that did not make it through in the first deployment due to the fatal error - so now I need to either - refresh my whole sandbox and start the deployment again, delete all the newly created records and manually add the ones that were missed, or truncate all objects and start the deployment again. What if it fails the second time around? If this was more of a "Continual Deployment" tool it would be fabulous. Ah, OK. This is what the Upserts are about. Cool. The documentation is very light on the Upserts feature. Yes it explains what each option does, but some real world examples would be really good to have. Again, this is why they need a Wiki and not a PDF document for the help guide. |
