Winter 15 features of Salesforce

[Prabhakar Chimakurthy]

SUPER COOL Features for Developers:

·       Run more Future methods and HTTP callouts.

Limit Description	Old Value	New Value
Maximum number of methods with the future annotation allowed per Apex invocation	10	50
Maximum number of callouts (HTTP requests or Web services calls) in a transaction	10	100

·       Deploy with Active Jobs (Previously, deployments failed if they contained components that were referenced by Apex jobs that were pending or in progress. To do so, from Setup click Deployment Settings | Deploy components when corresponding Apex jobs are pending or in progress, and then click Save.)

·    Submit and Monitor Jobs for Asynchronous Execution with the Queueable Interface

Queueable jobs are similar to future methods in that they’re both queued for execution, but they provide you with these additional benefits.

·       Getting an ID for your job: When you submit your job by invoking the System.enqueueJob method, the method returns the ID of the new job. This ID corresponds to the ID of the AsyncApexJob record. You can use this ID to identify your job and monitor its progress, either through the Salesforce user interface in the Apex Jobs page, or programmatically by querying your record from AsyncApexJob.

·       Chaining jobs: You can chain one job to another by starting a second job from a running job. Chaining jobs is useful if you need to do some processing that depends on another process to have run first.

·       It is different from Batch job because the limits are not as high as Batchable interface and it contains only one method execute instead of 3. It is something between Future methods and Apex Batch Jobs

·       SOQL query filtering with the new USING clause

·    Preserve sObject Field Encryption in Visualforce Expressions. Visualforce won’t show plain text now, but will be encrypted.

·    Introducing Duplicate Alerts and Blocking (Beta)

Duplicate prevention is only available for accounts, contacts, and leads. All other objects, including custom objects and Person Accounts, are not currently supported.

·       Advanced Setup Search (Beta) Automatically Enabled

·    Other Changes in Force.com Development
