Deactivate a Salesforce DE Org

Deactivate a Salesforce Developer Edition

 

We all can sign up to a new Developer Edition (DE) org and we can play with it by developing new things in it for free.

If our Salesforce DE org was unused for a period of 365 days, then Salesforce will send us a reminder to use it immediately by providing us some timeline. 

  • If we login to that org, then it would become active again and ready to use.
  • If we do not touch the org during that time period, then it would get deactivated automatically.

But if I spin up a new DE org and used it only for giving a demo to my client and after that I do not need that org any more. Mostly, I am going to leave that org as it is.
Like this, Salesforce database got piled up with millions of unused DE orgs every year.

Can we deactivate any DE org after its usage?

The answer is YES.

Now, Salesforce comes with a new feature to deactivate a Developer Edition (DE) org.

 We can have the option to deactivate our DE org. Please find the steps for the same,

  1. Login to your org.
  2. Go to SetUp and enter Company Information.
  3. Select the Company Information.
  4. Look for the Deactivate Org button next to Edit button.
  5.  Click the Deactivate Org button.
  6. It will ask us to enter the Org name to confirm its deactivation. 
  7. Copy and Paste the Org name from the page title. If you enter an incorrect value, then the Deactivate Org button would get disabled.
  8. Then click Deactivate Org button. 
  9. Check the Email that confirms that the Org is marked for deactivation. During the next 30 days, you can come back to the Company Information page to reactivate it.







When you deactivate an org, you have 30 days to change your mind and reactivate it.
After 30 days, the org is locked, and you must contact Salesforce Customer Support to reactivate it. After 60 days, the org is permanently deleted from Salesforce servers.
When you reactivate the org, it remains available to use. If you aren’t sure who originally deactivated the org, check its audit trail.

Apex Code Character Limit (Part I)

Apex Code Character Limit What is Apex Code Character Limit? As we know, Salesforce works on a multi-tenant environment. So it provides common resources to every org. If we speak in terms of writing Apex code in our Org, due to multi-tenant architecture design, we do have a limit on code characters for every org.  That means, Salesforce literally counts each and every character that we use to write any code. This limit is called Apex Code Character Limit. The code character limit is almost the same for every org. As of now (after Summer'18 release), the code character limit would be 6 Million. This indicates that any developer can write and develop code in their org up to 6 Million characters. For suppose, if a developer has exhausted the provided code character limit, then an error would be thrown stating that " The total size of apex code in this application after removing comments exceeds the maximum character size of 6000000 ". So we cannot write

Deployment in Salesforce using Change sets

Deployments in Salesforce Deployments in Salesforce Deployment is the migration of metadata changes between one Salesforce org to another Salesforce org. There are many tools available for Deployment in Salesforce. In this post, we will discuss about Changesets. To use the changesets feature, we need to enable the deployment connection in our org. This would specify the Inbound and Outbound changesets on the Deployment connections page. In Production org, Go to Setup → Type Deployment Settings → Then it will take us to the Deployment Settings page where, it will show the orgs that were connected to this Production org for deployment purpose. By the same way, if we check the Sandbox org “sfdemo1” also, we can be able to see the connected org for deployment as shown below, Sandbox org “sfdemo1” Now, we are going to deploy the things from Sandbox to Production. That means, we are developing the things in Sandbox and going to deploy the same in the Production org. So

Apex Code Character Limit (Part II)

Increase Apex Code Character Limit We all know about Salesforce Apex Code Character limit and how to check the limit that we exhausted in our org.  USE CASE :- For suppose, if I reached the maximum code character limit in my org and I would like to code further, but the system is not allowing me to do so. In this situation, can I reach out to Salesforce Support to get this limit increased for me? The answer is YES. But conditions apply. Increasing the Apex Code Character Limit is not an easy task for Salesforce support. We need to ensure that we followed all best practices and need to check for any anti-patterns, Invalid test practices and Invalid classes. After performing all these checks from our end, then we are good to raise a case with Salesforce to increase the code character limit for my org. Points to Note:- The Code character limit count includes the spaces, tabs and other formatting characters inside the code. The code comes with any managed package
