How to Query All the batch classes in your Salesforce Instance using APEX

2018-07-27T01:38:00.002-07:00

You can use the following scripts to know the batch classes in your Salesforce instance.


List asyncApexJobList = [select ApexClassId, Id, JobItemsProcessed, JobType, Status, 
NumberOfErrors, MethodName from AsyncApexJob  where 
JobType in ('BatchApexWorker','BatchApex')];

List idList = new List();
for(AsyncApexJob eachRecord:asyncApexJobList){
    idList.add(eachRecord.ApexClassId);
}

List apexClassList = [Select Name from ApexClass where Id IN:idList];
for(ApexClass eachApexClass : apexClassList){
    System.debug(eachApexClass.Name);
}

Additionally, You can use above to get all schedulable and other classes by adding the JobType filter. The possible values for JobType are:

Future
SharingRecalculation
ScheduledApex
BatchApex
BatchApexWorker
TestRequest
TestWorker
ApexToken
Queueable

Also, you can use the above script to find the status of the job as well by adding a filter on AsyncApexJob.Type. The possible values are:

Holding
Queued
Preparing
Processing
Aborted
Completed
Failed

Please refer below URL for details regarding AsyncApexJob.

Salesforce Trace Log Query Using Apex

2018-07-26T23:56:00.003-07:00

To activate debug logging for users, Apex classes, and Apex triggers, configure trace flags and debug levels in the Developer Console or in Setup. Each trace flag includes a debug level, start time, end time, and log type. The trace flag’s log type specifies the entity you’re tracing.

You can navigate to Setup->Debug then you will see the below screen for trace logs configured in your instance.

If you want to query Trace Log for your instance using Apex then you can use following SOQL query for the same. But please check API Tooling checkbox in developer console while querying.

1. To Query all trace log

SELECT Id, CreatedDate, CreatedById, ExpirationDate, LogType,TracedEntityId,TracedEntity.Name, ApexCode, ApexProfiling,
Callout, Database, System, Validation, Visualforce, Workflow FROM TraceFlag

2. To Query trace log only for class

SELECT Id, CreatedDate, CreatedById, ExpirationDate, LogType,TracedEntityId,TracedEntity.Name, ApexCode, ApexProfiling,
Callout, Database, System, Validation, Visualforce, Workflow FROM TraceFlag where LogType='CLASS_TRACING'

3. To Query trace log only for Developer console

SELECT Id, CreatedDate, CreatedById, ExpirationDate, LogType,TracedEntityId,TracedEntity.Name, ApexCode, ApexProfiling,
Callout, Database, System, Validation, Visualforce, Workflow FROM TraceFlag where LogType='DEVELOPER_LOG'

4. To Query trace log only for USER

SELECT Id, CreatedDate, CreatedById, ExpirationDate, LogType,TracedEntityId,TracedEntity.Name, ApexCode, ApexProfiling,
Callout, Database, System, Validation, Visualforce, Workflow FROM TraceFlag where LogType='USER_DEBUG'

For other Fields, you can refer below salesforce URL.

how to get object name from id / prefix value in salesforce

2017-08-22T01:00:00.000-07:00

Standard and Custom Objects in Salesforce have three character prefixes which form the first part of the record ID.

For example, a User record with ID 00561000000Mjya has the prefix 005, which is the prefix for the User object.

To get an Id from RecordId / Record Prefix, you can use below class.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
public class SchemaGlobalDescribe{
public static String findObjectNameFromRecordIdPrefix(String recordIdOrPrefix){
String objectName = '';
try{
//Get prefix from record ID
//This assumes that you have passed at least 3 characters
String myIdPrefix = String.valueOf(recordIdOrPrefix).substring(0,3);

//Get schema information
Map<String, Schema.SObjectType> gd = Schema.getGlobalDescribe();

//Loop through all the sObject types returned by Schema
for(Schema.SObjectType stype : gd.values()){
Schema.DescribeSObjectResult r = stype.getDescribe();
String prefix = r.getKeyPrefix();
System.debug('Prefix is ' + prefix);

//Check if the prefix matches with requested prefix
if(prefix!=null && prefix.equals(myIdPrefix)){
objectName = r.getName();
System.debug('Object Name! ' + objectName);
break;
}
}
}catch(Exception e){
System.debug(e);
}
return objectName;
}

}

--------------------------------
Now you can execute below code in developer console.
String objectName = SchemaGlobalDescribe.findObjectNameFromRecordIdPrefix('500');

System.debug(objectName);

I hope this will help you.

I hope this will help you.

Recurring Scheduling Apex Job for every 10,15 etc minutes

2017-08-20T00:54:00.000-07:00

Hi All,
I was just trying to schedule my job for every 15 minute by executing below code. But the job was running once only and it was not triggering again.
Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch globalPurgeBatchSchedular = new Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch();
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge1', '0 0 15 * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);

Then i came to know that Jobs cannot be scheduled in increments smaller than one hour. To schedule the job fro every 15 minute, i have to do the following
Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch globalPurgeBatchSchedular = new Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch();
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge1', '0 0 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge2', '0 15 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge3', '0 30 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge4', '0 45 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);

So conclusion is that if you want to schedule for less than hour, you should use below formula.
No of System.schedule() call = 60/frequency in minutes;

e.g. For 10 minutes, please run:
No of System.schedule() call : 60/10 = 6

Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch globalPurgeBatchSchedular = new Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch();
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge1', '0 0 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge2', '0 10 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);

15 to 18 char ID Conversion in Apex

2017-08-20T00:41:00.003-07:00

As 15 or 18 char ID is concerned, You can use both the formats.

But, to Convert From 15 char Id to 18 Char ID, You just need to store it in to ID field.
See the Example below.

String recordIdAsStr = '0019000000G0IS8';
Id recordIdAsID = recordIdAsStr;
system.debug('15 Char Record ID : ' + recordIdAsStr);
system.debug('18 Char Record ID : '+recordIdAsID);

System.AsyncException: The Apex job named is already scheduled for execution.

System.AsyncException: The Apex job named is already scheduled for execution.

Hi All,
When i was trying to schedule my class for every 15 miuntes to run. I was getting below error.
System.AsyncException: The Apex job named "Global App Logs Purge" is already scheduled for execution.

e.g.
Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch globalPurgeBatchSchedular = new Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch();
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge', '0 0 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge', '0 15 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge', '0 30 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge', '0 45 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);

When i change the all the 4 job name from "Global App Logs Purge" to "Global App Logs Purge1","Global App Logs Purge2","Global App Logs Purge3","Global App Logs Purge4". I did not get any error. So the conclusion is every Job should be unique.

Corrected Code:
Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch globalPurgeBatchSchedular = new Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch();
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge1', '0 0 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge2', '0 15 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge3', '0 30 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge4', '0 45 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);

I hope this will help you.

Error : "Trigger must be associated with a job detail"

2017-08-19T02:11:00.001-07:00

Error : "Trigger must be associated with a job detail"

Hi All,
I was just trying to schedule my schedulable class 'Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch' in Apex. That time I was facing this error.
Error : "Trigger must be associated with a job detail"

e.g.
Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch globalPurgeBatchSchedular = new Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch();
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge ', '0 0 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);

you can notice there is a space after "Global App Logs Purge ", when I removed this extra space from the name ("Global App Logs Purge") my class was scheduled as expected.

Corrected Space from code:
Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch globalPurgeBatchSchedular = new Schedular_GlobalAppLogPurgeBatch();
System.schedule('Global App Logs Purge', '0 0 * * * ? *', globalPurgeBatchSchedular);

I hope this will help you.
