Starting Einstein Analytics..

November 24, 2019

I have been putting my foot on & off on this Piece (relied on Dashboards extensively). After viewing 2019 Dreamforce Product Keynotes, I got sold to join the party.

As usual, the Trailhead is amazing – Must do Project, it takes <45 mins approximately.
You can create a free analytics-enabled developer edition.Click Here.
The starting point is Clicking on Dataset and Creating a Lens.
Lens is something where you can group by data and also Charts.
We need to “clip to designer” by opening lens and give it a name.
We can then add this Query to Dashboard.
Conversational Query : ” A conversational query starts with a word or two from you, and then Einstein Analytics provides suggestions that you can accept or edit. In this section, you see how quickly you can hold a conversation with your data, and then add the results to the dashboard. “
I created my first conversational Query “top 10 opportunity name” suggested by einstein.
Then i did Custom Formatting @ Column in Dashboard Editor.
Then I created my own view by selecting few Industries
Then I gave access to the app.
This is crazy if used in right way. I could use the annotation feature to post chatter comments and start a conversation right there….

Finally #trailheadRanger. (2015 – 2019).
@Trailhead helped me to become Senior Salesforce Admin.
Learning via Trailhead is the best thing that happened to me in my career.
There are few amazing people like MS, DL, MM, CH, JS & AV whom I need to thank in-detail. I will save this for later .

Conquering Apex Specialist

November 5, 2019

(11/05/2019 -11/10/19)

Very Exhaustive & tiring challenge. A lot of concepts to digest, definitely could not make it without trailhead and other google resources.

It took me 5 days with an average of 1+ Hour daily.

I still feel I am far away from where I would want to be with coding. I would love to be in a state where I don’t refer to trailhead or google resources. I guess practice is the only way forward…

1. Automate Record Creation (11/05/2019 5 am to 6 am)

What I Learned

To Bulkify Code
To Seperate Handler & Trigger
Trigger.New & Trigger.Old
SOQL Binding
List Procesing
Map Processing.
Handle Null Exception

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/apex_triggers

trigger MaintenanceRequest on Case (before update, after update) {
    // call MaintenanceRequestHelper.updateWorkOrders  
    if (trigger.isAfter){
        //if(trigger.isUpdate){
            MaintenanceRequestHelper.updateWorkOrders(Trigger.new,Trigger.OldMap);
            
        }
    }

public class MaintenanceRequestHelper {
    
    public static void updateWorkOrders(List<Case> ClosedCases,map<id,Case> ClosedCasesOldMap){
        // update workorders
        for (Case c : ClosedCases){
        
        Case oldCase = ClosedCasesOldMap.get(c.id);
        
        //https://www.sfdc99.com/2014/02/25/comparing-old-and-new-values-in-a-trigger/
        
        Boolean oldCaseisClosed = oldCase.Status.equals('Closed');
        System.debug('OldCaseisClosed=' + oldCaseisClosed);
        Boolean NewCaseisClosed = C.Status.equals('Closed');
        System.debug('NewCaseisClosed=' + NewCaseisClosed);
        List<AggregateResult> minMaintananceCyleDays = [SELECT MIN(Maintanance_cycle__c) from Work_Part__C where Maintenance_Request__c =: oldCase.id];
        Integer intminMaintananceCyleDays = Integer.valueOf(minMaintananceCyleDays[0].get('expr0'));
        System.debug('intminMaintananceCyleDays = ' + intminMaintananceCyleDays);
        List <Case> CasetobeCreated = new List<case>();
        
        
        
        if(!oldCaseisClosed && NewCaseisClosed ){
        
        if(c.IsClosed == true && (c.Type == 'Repair' || c.Type == 'Routine Maintenance')){
            
            case nc = new case();
            nc.Type = 'Routine Maintenance';
            nc.Vehicle__c = c.Vehicle__c;
            if (c.Equipment__c != null){
            nc.Equipment__c = c.Equipment__c;
            }
            if (c.Subject != null){
            nc.Subject = c.Subject;
        }
            nc.Date_Reported__c = system.today();
            if (intminMaintananceCyleDays != null){
            nc.Date_Due__c = system.today()+ intminMaintananceCyleDays;
            } else 
            nc.Date_Due__c = system.today();
            System.debug('NC: '+ nc);
            nc.Status = 'New';
            CasetobeCreated.add(nc);
            
        }
            insert CasetobeCreated;
        
        }
    }

}
    }

2. Synchronize Salesforce data with an external system

What I Learned

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/apex_integration_services/apex_integration_rest_callouts

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/asynchronous_apex/async_apex_future_methods

public with sharing class WarehouseCalloutService {

    private static final String WAREHOUSE_URL = 'https://th-superbadge-apex.herokuapp.com/equipment';
    
    
    // complete this method to make the callout (using @future) to the
    // REST endpoint and update equipment on hand.
    @Future(callout=true)
    public static void runWarehouseEquipmentSync(){
        List<Product2> syncprod = new List<Product2>();
        
        Http http = new Http();
        HttpRequest request  = new HttpRequest();
        request.setEndpoint(WAREHOUSE_URL);
        request.setMethod('GET');
        HttpResponse response = http.send(request);
        
        if(response.getStatusCode()==200){
            
        
            List<equipmentjson> results = (List<equipmentjson>) JSON.deserialize(response.getBody(), List<equipmentjson>.class);
            
            for(equipmentjson inst : results){
                product2 equip = new product2();
                equip.Cost__c = inst.cost;
                equip.Lifespan_Months__c = inst.lifespan;
                equip.Maintenance_Cycle__c = inst.maintenanceperiod;
                equip.Name = inst.name;
                equip.Current_Inventory__c = inst.quantity;
                equip.Replacement_Part__c = inst.replacement;
                equip.Warehouse_SKU__c = inst.sku;
                
                syncprod.add(equip);
            }
            
            }
        if(syncprod != null && syncprod.size() > 0){
            UPSERT syncprod Warehouse_SKU__c;
        }
            
    }
           
    private class equipmentjson{
        private String id;
        private Integer cost;
        private Integer lifespan;
        private Integer maintenanceperiod;
        private String name;
        private Integer quantity; 
        private boolean replacement;
        private String sku;          
    }

            
        }

global class WarehouseSyncSchedule implements schedulable {
  // implement scheduled code here
  global void execute(SchedulableContext sc){

      WarehouseCalloutService.runWarehouseEquipmentSync();
      
  }
}

4. Test automation logic

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/apex_testing

@isTest
public class TestDataFactory {
    public static List<case> createmr(String mrtype, integer noofcases){
        List<case> mr = new List <case>();
        if(noofcases > 0 && mrtype.length() >0 ){
            
            //create vehicle
            
            Vehicle__c v = new Vehicle__c(Name='Jetta 01', VIN_Number__c='Jetta123');
            insert v;
            
            //create Equipments: two with different maintenance cycles  
            
            List<Product2> equip = new List<Product2>();  
       		equip.add(new Product2(Name='Testequip 01', Warehouse_SKU__c='001', Lifespan_Months__c=12, Maintenance_Cycle__c=60, Replacement_Part__c=true));  
       		equip.add(new Product2(Name='Testequip 02', Warehouse_SKU__c='002', Lifespan_Months__c=24, Maintenance_Cycle__c=30, Replacement_Part__c=true));  
       	    insert equip;

                          }
            insert mr;
        	//Add two work parts for each maintenance request created  
       
            List<Work_Part__c> wp = new List<Work_Part__c>();  
       
           for (Case c: mr) {  
             
             wp.add(new Work_Part__c(Equipment__c=equip[0].id, Maintenance_Request__c=c.id, Quantity__c=1));  
             wp.add(new Work_Part__c(Equipment__c=equip[1].id, Maintenance_Request__c=c.id, Quantity__c=2));  
                             
           }  
       insert wp;  
        }
        
        
        return mr;
        
        
        
    }

}

@IsTest  
 public class MaintenanceRequestTest {  
   @IsTest  
   static void TestPositiveSingle() {  
     //Test Repair maintance request  
     testmrcreation('Repair', 1, 'Closed');

     }  
     update testRequests;  
     List<Case> newmrs = [SELECT id, Type, Status, Vehicle__c, Equipment__c, Subject, Origin, Date_Reported__c, Date_Due__c  
                      FROM Case WHERE ParentId IN: testRequests

         System.assertEquals(Date.today().addDays(30), newmr.Date_Due__c);  
       }  
     }  
   }  
 }

5. Test Call out Logic

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/en/content/learn/modules/apex_integration_services/apex_integration_rest_callouts

global class WarehouseCalloutServiceMock implements HttpCalloutMock {
    // implement http mock callout
    //Mock responce created  to test the call out
    global HttpResponse respond(HttpRequest request){
        System.assertEquals('https://th-superbadge-apex.herokuapp.com/equipment', request.getEndpoint());
        System.assertEquals('GET', request.getMethod());
        HttpResponse response = new HttpResponse();
        response.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
        response.setBody('[{"_id":"55d66226726b611100aaf741","replacement":false,"quantity":5,"name":"Generator 1000 kW","maintenanceperiod":365,"lifespan":120,"cost":5000,"sku":"100003"}]');
        response.setStatusCode(200);
        return response;
    }
}

 @isTest  
 private class WarehouseCalloutServiceTest {  
  // implement your mock callout test here  
   @isTest  
   static void WarehouseEquipmentSync(){  
     Test.startTest();  
     // Set mock callout class   
     Test.setMock(HttpCalloutMock.class, new WarehouseCalloutServiceMock());   
     // This causes a fake response to be sent from the class that implements HttpCalloutMock.   
     WarehouseCalloutService.runWarehouseEquipmentSync();  
     Test.stopTest();    
        
   }  
 }

6.Test scheduling logic

https://trailhead.salesforce.com/content/learn/modules/asynchronous_apex/async_apex_scheduled

@isTest
public class WarehouseSyncSheduleTest {
@isTest static void WarehousescheduleTest(){
        String scheduleTime = '00 00 01 * * ?';
        Test.startTest();
        Test.setMock(HttpCalloutMock.class, new WarehouseCalloutServiceMock());
        String jobID=System.schedule('Warehouse Time To Schedule to Test', scheduleTime, new WarehouseSyncSchedule());
        Test.stopTest();
        //Contains schedule information for a scheduled job. CronTrigger is similar to a cron job on UNIX systems.
        // This object is available in API version 17.0 and later.
        CronTrigger a=[SELECT Id FROM CronTrigger where NextFireTime > today];
        System.assertEquals(jobID, a.Id,'Schedule ');
       
       
    }
}
