Salesforce BusinessHours Calculation

Biswajeet March 14, 2017 5 Comments

//Get the default business hours
Id businessHourId = [SELECT Id FROM BusinessHours WHERE IsDefault = true].Id;

//Get the next date when business hours are open. If the specified target date falls within business hours, this target date is returned.
Datetime targetDate = system.today();
Datetime nextDate = BusinessHours.nextStartDate(businessHourId, targetDate);

//Check target date occurs within business hours. Holidays are included in the calculation.
Datetime targetDate = system.today();
Boolean isWithinBusinessHour = BusinessHours.isWithin(businessHourId, targetDate);

//Get the difference between a start and end Datetime based on a specific set of business hours in milliseconds.
Datetime startDT = system.today();
Datetime endDT = DateTime.Now().AddDays(2);
Long difference = BusinessHours.diff(businessHourId, startDT, endDT);
Double hours = difference/3600000;

//Adds an interval of time from a start Datetime traversing business hours only. Returns the result Datetime in the local time zone.
Datetime startDT = system.today();
Long intervalMilliseconds = 50000;
Datetime targetDT = BusinessHours.add(businessHourId, startDT, intervalMilliseconds);

Batch Apex With Webservice Callout

Biswajeet March 13, 2017 No Comments

To make a Webservice callout in batch Apex, we have to implement Database.AllowsCallouts interface in the class definition. Here is an example to make webservice callout in batch apex.

Batch Apex:

global class AccountBatchApex implements Database.Batchable<sObject>, Database.AllowsCallouts{
    
    global Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc){
        String soqlQuery = 'SELECT Name, AccountNumber, Type From Account';
        return Database.getQueryLocator(soqlQuery);
    }
    
    global void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<Account> scope){
        
        for (Account acc : scope){
            if(acc.Type.equals('Customer - Direct')){
                try{
                    HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
                    HttpResponse response = new HttpResponse();
                    Http http = new Http();
                    
                    String username = 'YourUsername';
                    String password = 'YourPassword';
                    Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf(username + ':' + password);
                    String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);
                    
                    request.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);
                    request.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
                    request.setEndpoint('Your Endpoint URL');
                    request.setMethod('POST');
                    request.setBody('Information to Send');
                    response = http.send(request);
                    if (response.getStatusCode() == 200) {
                        String jsonResponse = response.getBody();
                        System.debug('Response-' + jsonResponse);
                    }
                }
                catch(Exception){
                    System.debug('Error-' + e.getMessage());   
                }
            }
        }
    }
    
    global void finish(Database.BatchableContext bc){
        
    }
}

Note: Total number of callouts (HTTP requests or Web services calls) is 100, that means if you have one callout in your execute method you can keep batch size as 100.

URL Class in Salesforce

//Create a new account called "Test Account" that we will create a link for later.
Account acc = new Account(Name = 'Test Account');
Insert acc;

//Get the base URL.
String baseURL = URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm();
System.debug('Base URL: ' + baseURL);       

//Get the URL for the current request.
String currentReqURL = URL.getCurrentRequestUrl().toExternalForm();
System.debug('Current request URL: ' + currentReqURL);        

//Create the account URL from the base URL.
String accURL = URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm() + '/' + acc.Id;
System.debug('URL of a particular account: ' + accURL); 

//Get some parts of the base URL.
System.debug('Host: ' + URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().getHost());   
System.debug('Protocol: ' + URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().getProtocol());

//Get the query string of the current request.
System.debug('Query: ' + URL.getCurrentRequestUrl().getQuery());

Generate Json Data Using Apex in Salesforce

Biswajeet February 20, 2017 No Comments

Child Class:

public class Child{

    public String Name;
    
    public Child(String name) {
        this.Name = name;
    }
}

Parent Class:

public class Parent{

    public Child[] ChildRecords;
    public String Name;
    
    public Parent(String Name) {
        this.Name = name;
        ChildRecords = new Child[0];
    }
}

Pass parameters to above class using below code:

//Select Account Id from Account Object
String accountId = '0012800001A4UgG';

//Select Account & Contact Records
Account acc = [SELECT Id, Name, (SELECT Id, Name FROM Contacts) FROM Account WHERE Id =: accountId];

//Create a parent record
Parent par = new Parent(acc.Name);

//Loop on Contacts
for(Contact con: acc.Contacts) {
    par.childRecords.add(new Child(con.Name));
}

//Get the Json data
String jsonData = JSON.serialize(par);
System.debug('JsonData-' + jsonData);

Here is the debug log snapshot of Json data:

Note: This is the sample class. You can modify it as per your requirement.
