Bienvenue! Welcome!
My goal is to help you work faster.
I must speak and teach until I hear 10 people say, "That thing you taught me? I used it! And it saved me time!"
(Ahem ... although maybe blogging slower than I'd hoped. Ugh, coders' repetitive stress injury.)
So check out the tutorials. Play with code. Tell me about your triumphs.
Migrating my Salesforce org backups from Eclipse to VSCode without messing up Git
07 Nov 2019
Here’s how I migrated all my “Salesforce configuration metadata backups” from Eclipse to VSCode without my 5-year-old Git history really caring.

06 Nov 2019
I received an INVALID_TYPE_ON_FIELD_IN_RECORD / value not of required type error that made no sense when editing a Salesforce flow. Turns out it’s a known error. Here’s how I got around it.
A Jitterbit Case Study: Higher Education Adventures in Salesforce
04 Nov 2019
Boy have I been on a database integration adventure these last few weeks. In this series, I’ll review some of the more interesting hoops I jumped through with Jitterbit to load data in CSV files provided by an external admissions application partner (think common app … only this was a much smaller organization) into tables of a Salesforce org.

Clearing A Jitterbit FillDataElements Error
31 Oct 2019
Today is Halloween, so to scare me, Jitterbit threw a “FillDataElements” error when I tried to build a Salesforce Insert operation and it didn’t like something I’d tried to do with a date.
Boo!
Luckily … I found a trick (rebuilding my Operation from scratch once I’d fixed the underlying problems) that brought me a treat (the error stopped appearing).
S'occuper d'une erreur FillDataElements en Jitterbit
31 Oct 2019
Aujourd’hui, c’est l’Halloween. Et Jitterbit m’a bien effrayé en lançant une erreur FillDataElements lorsque j’élaborais une opération d’insertion Salesforce.
Hou là là ! 👻
Heureusement, j’ai découvert une bêtise (réélaborer l’opération de zéro) qui m’a plu autant que des friandises.
Better Salesforce Insert/Update Operations with Jitterbit Caching
28 Oct 2019
Combined with “external ID” fields, Salesforce’s “upsert” data-loading option is a godsend for dumping data from legacy systems into Salesforce.
But what do you do if you only want to insert new records or only want to update existing records, using the external ID as an inter-system matching key, considering Salesforce’s “insert” and “update” operations don’t support matching on external IDs?
Disabling Lightning Experience w/ Python and Selenium in Salesforce
12 Sep 2019
You saw me be too lazy to click buttons in No-Permissions Salesforce Profile w/ Python and Selenium: watch me do it again turning Lightning Experience off in all my Custom Profiles.
(And watch me get shunned from the Salesforce community for making it easier to neuter the Winter ‘20 release feature that flips Lightning Experience on?)
