There are instances where Reset Password option gives trouble and we do not receive the Email Link to reset the password.
Here is the best solution to directly reset the password from Developer Console itself..
Open Execute Anonymous Window and run the below command:
System.setPassword(UserInfo.getUserId(), ‘YourNewPassword’);This should help in resetting the password instantly.

The requirement was to get the JSON Structure of an Account object for a third-party tool to Map the fields and Load the object fields.
The Structure needed was only to have the Object name and all the Field Names from the object like Below:
I simplified the way to extract the actual JSON Structure for an Object and get all the fields. Below I have given the code for getting the JSON structure for both API names of the fields and Label names.
Execute below in Execute Anonymous Window for JSON structure with API names of the fields
map<string, map<string,string> > fieldList = new map<string, map<string,string> >();
map<string,SObjectField> fList = schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('Account').getDescribe().fields.getMap();
MAP<String,String> fieldandtype = new MAP<String,String>();
for(string str: fList.keySet()){
fieldandtype.put(str,'');
}
fieldList.put('Account',fieldandtype);
system.debug('-->'+Json.serialize(fieldList));Execute below in Execute Anonymous Window for JSON structure with Label names of the fields
map<string, map<string,string> > fieldList = new map<string, map<string,string> >();
map<string,SObjectField> fList = schema.getGlobalDescribe().get('Account').getDescribe().fields.getMap();
MAP<String,String> fieldandtype = new MAP<String,String>();
for(string str: fList.keySet()){
fieldandtype.put(fList.get(str).getDescribe().getLabel(),'');
}
fieldList.put('Account',fieldandtype);
system.debug('-->'+Json.serialize(fieldList));
After executing, Open Raw Log and Capture the Unformatted structure of the object and use the Online JSON formatter to get the formatted version like below.
This will help us to save time in extracting the JSON Structure of SObject.

Here, I would like to tell you about a new tool I have been using these days for enhanced querying through all the objects in the environment.
Steps to use this tool and make your querying quick through any field and condition.
Link to download the tool:
https://www.pocketsoap.com/osx/soqlx/
Step 1:
Login into the Sandbox that you would like to query on objects
After logging in, To the left hand side we can see all the objects. Need to double click on the object we want and we can see all the fields present in the object.
As per our requirement, we should enhance the query and add the conditions to get the results on the fields by clicking on query at the bottom.
Hope this tool helps in improving the querying time and checking the values on the fields.

There might be scenarios where we as a developer needs to generate random unique ID’s to be used for external integrations in Apex.
Here is a simple method which generates the unique code everytime.
public static String getUUID()
{
Blob b = Crypto.GenerateAESKey(128);
String h = EncodingUtil.ConvertTohex(b);
String guid = h.SubString(0,8)+ '-' + h.SubString(8,12) + '-' + h.SubString(12,16) + '-' + h.SubString(16,20) + '-' + h.substring(20);
system.debug(guid);
return guid;

Hello!!
I am going to produce the steps to Enable Event Monitoring dashboards in Salesforce Sandbox /Production Environment….
Pre-Requisite: >> Enable Analytics >> Setup >> Analytics >> enable Analytics (This is a major step without this you won’t see analytics studio app)
Hope you got all the details!

In this post, I am going to provide you with the steps to debug the issue: Email Quick Action missing in the feed Tab…

Here, I am going to present you the steps to connect the Sandbox to Visual Studio Code for connecting the Lightning web Component…
First step: Install Salesforce Extensions for Visual Studio Code
Login in to Sandbox and Use the below command in the Terminal
sfdx force:auth:web:login –setalias my-hub-org –instanceurl https://test.salesforce.com
After logging in…
To Create Lightning web Component use the Below Command in Terminal
sfdx force:lightning:component:create –type lwc -n myComponent -d force-app/main/default/lwc
AND Finally to deploy use the command below:
sfdx force:source:deploy -p force-app -u test@example.com(user name of the Sandbox)
Also, Follow the Link below for better experience on Lightning Web Component:

This functionality is used when a custom application is built and want to track the history of the fields that are created
on the component.
In this scenario, I am tracking the Field History based on these criteria:
Date / Field / Original value / New Value / Type / Modified By
In the below scenario, Tracking the Custom Component Fields Based on two objects – Quote and Quote Line Item.
Lightning Component for Field History Tracking:
<aura:component controller=”QuoteAndQuoteLineItemHistory” implements=”force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction” access=”global” >
<!– HANDLERS –>
<aura:handler name=”init” action=”{!c.doInit}” value=”{!this}” />
<!– ATTRIBUTES –>
<aura:attribute name=”componentHistory” type=”List” />
<aura:attribute name=”componentHistoryFinalList” type=”List” />
<aura:attribute name=”searchText” type=”String”/>
<aura:attribute name=”headers” type=”List”/>
<aura:attribute type=”Boolean” name=”sortType” />
<aura:attribute name=”recordId” type=”Id” />
<aura:attribute name=”sortedBy” type=”String” default=”Name”/>
<aura:attribute name=”sortedDirection” type=”String” default=”asc”/>
<div class=”slds”>
<div class=”slds-grid slds-gutters”>
<div class=”slds-col slds-size_9-of-12″></div>
<div class=”slds-col slds-size_3-of-12″>
<lightning:input type=”text” name=”searchInput” onkeyup=”{!c.filterSelection}” value=”{!v.searchText}” aura:id=”searchInput” label=”Type here to search” />
<br/>
</div>
</div>
<lightning:datatable data=”{!v.componentHistory}”
columns=”{!v.headers}”
keyField=”Id”
hideCheckboxColumn=”true”
onsort=”{!c.updateColumnSorting}”
sortedBy=”{!v.sortedBy}”
sortedDirection=”{!v.sortedDirection}”/>
</div>
</aura:component>
This component also has the functionality of Sorting and Search feature.
Please comment and reach out for the Apex Class and related java scripts.

Using the Named Credentials we can Put these Endpoint URL and Password in a Label and can expose that label in the code.
Below are the Steps for Navigating to Named credentials:
Setup -> Type Named Credentials -> Setup the Named Credentials with all the details
This is considered as one of the best practices (Not exposing the URL and Password in the code)
