More of a watch out for this but when using Apex Flex Queue with classes that do web callouts you have to add ‘Database.AllowsCallouts’ to your queueable class like so: public class ExampleQueueableClass implements Queueable, Database.AllowsCallouts{ This got me but after the usual hunt and peck the googles answered the call: https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/a/216346/17245 This is the error the…
There are some great resources for Salesforce DX but it can be confusing knowing which commands align with the functionality you’re trying to execute. Below are some commands and examples of a basic workflow for setting up DX, pulling data from a sandbox using a change set instead of creating a package.xml, and then pushing it…

CSVFIX has been my go to for command line ETL but I have always run it on Windows. After running in to some issues with a CSV file loading in to Salesforce I needed something on the mac to ‘peak’ in to the file and do the usual amount of stuff that I’m used to…
Another posting that resulted from a lot of great examples on the web but none that were actually bulked and tested.

Anyone that has dealt with Opportunity Line Items knows that you cannot create a lookup to that record on another. So the next best thing is to put a text field and store the Id. Apex stores Ids in their 18 length form but in the UI it shows it to you as 15 digits. Since…
sObjects are great for dynamic apex where you need to re-use code across objects and/or need to dynamically set data.
