  🚩Focus: Automating the Deletion of Old Flow Versions ❓One of the most frequently asked questions I get as a DevOps Consultant is: “How can we reduce manual tasks during deployments?” A common manual task is deleting outdated Flow versions in Salesforce. Here’s why automating this step is valuable: 🚨 Why Automate This? Deleting old Flow versions is a best practice that helps in several ways: Improves overall performance Reduces clutter in the environment Makes the system easier to manage, especially during continuous development and iteration How to Automate Flow Deletion Deleting old Flow versions is fairly simple in itself, but doing it manually across multiple orgs during forward or backward promotions can become a tedious and error-prone process. 🚩Here are a few ways to automate it: 1. Using Salesforce Inspector Reloaded or Other Tools Supporting Tooling API You can run a query to fetch obsolete Flow versions and delete them using tools that support the Tooling API. 2. Usin...

Please refer to the below: In your jenkins Dashboard go to Manage Jenkins > Configure System Under Jenkins Location set the Jenkins URL to the new IP address of your server computer Save changes On jenkins dashboard under Build Executor Status click on your slave node Click launch button to download new slave agent with updated IP and save it in desired location. web start slave launch. On the picture, below the sentence "Run from slave command line" you should see a command that includes the new IP address Launch the slave agent and it should now connect to the new IP address successfully! Hope this helps anyone else!  use the below command to connect to master and run it on agent: java -jar agent.jar -jnlpUrl http://65.0.89.147:8080/computer/new%20node/jenkins-agent.jnlp -secret ec3d573f1cc65cc77c00474aedb3891a5ba8b9d3e235c32acdfaf4cb6a518a84 -workDir "" the above command runs in the foreground and when ctrl+c, connection will be lost between slave and master. ...

 Importance of build stage, Basically converting the source code files  The software build is a general term in the software development world. The software build is an activity to translate the human-readable source code into an efficient executable program. It is the process of creating the application binaries for a software release, by taking all the relevant source code files and compile them and then creating a build artifact (such as binaries and executable program, etc.) Build Process is the combination of several activities that varies for each programming language and operating systems but the basic concept will be the same. What is the Procedure to build? Fetching the code from the source control repository like Github, bitbucket, etc. Compile the code and check the dependencies. Run the automated unit tests. Link the library, files, code, etc accordingly. When everything is successfully passed, it’s built an artifact and store. Achieve the build logs. Send the noti...

 Non-functional Facets Canary Release Derived from the phrase “canary in a coal mine”, the canary release functions in a similar manner. It is used to gradually introduce a software release to a small subgroup of users, making sure that it is safe and functional before being rolled out to the general populace. Configuration Drift Configuration drift occurs when servers in an organization’s infrastructure become more and more different over time, drifting away from their original intended state. Typically it is caused by changes to software or hardware that are not recorded or tracked consistently. Continuous Integration (CI) Continuous integration is a software development practice where developers are required to integrate code into a shared repository multiple times per day for the purpose of getting rapid feedback. Together with continuous delivery, it forms the modern CI/CD delivery pipeline. DevSecOps  DevSecOps involves incorporating security into all stages of the softw...
