The Salesforce Delete All activity deletes one or more individual objects from the database of your organization.

On the General tab, you can establish a connection to the Salesforce.com server.

The following table lists the configurations on the General tab of the Salesforce Delete All activity.

Field Module Property? Description
Name No The name displayed as the label of the activity in the process.

Description

On the Description tab, you can enter a short description for the Salesforce Delete All activity.

Input

On the Input tab, you can specify input values for the Salesforce Delete All activity.

The following table lists the input elements on the Input tab of the Salesforce Delete All activity.

Input Items Data Type Description
connectionInfo (All fields in this section are optional.)
serverUrl String The web address of the endpoint that is used by this operation.
sessionId String The unique ID associated with this session.
externalSessionIdUsed Boolean Specifies whether an external session ID is used (true) or not (false).

If the value is set to true, an external session ID is filled in the sessionId field.

In this case, when the session has to be refreshed, the refreshed operation cannot be performed, and an exception is generated.

delete   Each delete includes the following elements:
  • batchSize (An integer value): optional. When processing large amounts of data, the activity internally invokes several SOAP calls. This field is used to set the batch size for the number of records deleted through an SOAP call.

    The value must be set between 1 and 200. The default value is 200.

    When the input value equals -1, it is set to the default value. When the input value is greater than 200, it is set to 200. When the input value is less than 1 (except -1), it is set to 1.

  • deleteSObjects
    • ids (A string value): required. An array of one or more IDs associated with the objects to be deleted.
delete_Optional (All fields in this section are optional.)
_configData   Each _configData includes the following node:
  • timeout (An integer value): the timeout value specifies the number of milliseconds an internal API call waits before the data returns.

    The default value is 15000 milliseconds.

    You can also change the default timeout value by setting the properties. See Default Timeout Value Setting for detailed information.

headers   Each headers includes the following elements:
  • CallOptions
    • client (A string value): a string that identifies a particular client.
    • defaultNamespace (A string value): a string that identifies a developer namespace prefix. Use this field to resolve field names in managed packages without having to fully specify the fieldName everywhere.
  • PackageVersionHeader

    Each PackageVersion includes the following nodes:

    • majorNumber (An integer value): the major version number of a package version.

      A package version is denoted by majorNumber.minorNumber, for example 2.1.

    • minorNumber (An integer value): the minor version number of a package version.

      A package version is denoted by majorNumber.minorNumber, for example 2.1.

    • namespace (A string value): the unique namespace of the managed package.

  • UserTerritoryDeleteHeader
    • transferToUserId (A string value): the ID of the user to whom open opportunities in that user's territory is assigned when an opportunity's owner (user) is removed from a territory.
  • EmailHeader
    • triggerAutoResponseEmail (A Boolean value): specifies whether to trigger auto-response rules (true) or not (false), for leads and cases. In the Salesforce.com user interface, this email can be automatically triggered by a number of events, for example creating a case or resetting a user password.
    • triggerOtherEmail (A Boolean value): specifies whether to trigger email outside the organization (true) or not (false). In the Salesforce.com user interface, this email can be automatically triggered by creating, editing, or deleting a contact of a case.
    • triggerUserEmail (A Boolean value): specifies whether to trigger an email that is sent to users in the organization (true) or not (false). In the Salesforce user interface, this email can be automatically triggered by a number of events: resetting a password, creating a new user, adding comments to a case, or creating or modifying a task.
  • AllowFieldTruncationHeader
    • allowFieldTruncation (A Boolean value): specifies whether to truncate field values that are too long (true) or not (false).

      Default is false: no change in behavior. If a string or textarea value is too large, the operation fails and the fault code STRING_TOO_LONG is returned.

  • DisableFeedTrackingHeader
    • disableFeedTracking (A Boolean value): if it is set to true, the changes made in the current call are not tracked in feeds.

      The default is false.

  • StreamingEnabledHeader
    • streamingEnabled (A Boolean value): specifies whether you want to receive streaming notifications for changes to Salesforce data.
  • AllOrNoneHeader
    • allOrNone (A Boolean value): if allOrNone is set to true, any failed records in a call cause all changes for the call to be rolled back. Record changes are not committed unless all records are processed successfully.

      The default is false. Some records can be processed successfully while others are marked as failed in the call results.

      Note: When processing large amounts of data, the activity internally invokes several SOAP calls.

      However, this AllOrNoneHeader applies to each internal SOAP call individually. If allOrNone is set to true, only individual internal SOAP calls with failed records are rolled back. All the record changes of other calls are committed.

  • DuplicateRuleHeader
    • allowSave (A Boolean value): if allowSave is set to true, duplicate records are saved. When this value is set to false, duplicate records are prevented from being saved.
    • includeRecordDetails (A Boolean value): if includeRecordDetails is set to true, fields and values for records detected as duplicates are retrieved. If this value is set to false, only record IDs for records detected as duplicates are retrieved.
    • runAsCurrentUser (A Boolean value): if runAsCurrentUser is set to true, sharing rules for the current user are enforced when duplicate rules run. If this value is set to false, sharing rules specified in the class for the request are used.
      Note: If no sharing rules are specified, Apex code runs in the system context and sharing rules for the current user are not enforced.
  • LocaleOptions
    • language (A string value): specifies the language of the labels returned. The value must be a valid user locale (language and country), such as de_DE or en_GB. For more information about the locales, see Force.com Web Service API Developer's Guide.
  • DebuggingHeader
    • debugLevel (A string value): specifies the level of detail in the debug header.

      See Salesforce.com document Apex Developer’s Guide for detailed information.

      The response of debugging information can be found in the SOAP message log. You might have to enable the debug role log to trace debugging errors.
