Abstract

Claims (57)

1 . A computer-implemented method combining VISUALFORCE and QUEUEABLES on a SALESFORCE application development platform to process a plurality of jobs, the method comprising:

processing, by a VISUALFORCE processing page, a job identifier for a job;

routing, by the VISUALFORCE processing page, the identified job to a QUEUEABLE configured to process the identified job;

adding, by the VISUALFORCE processing page, a QUEUEABLE identifier for the QUEUEABLE to a QUEUEABLES list;

polling, by a VISUALFORCE polling page, the QUEUEABLES list for the QUEUEABLE identifier;

determining, by the VISUALFORCE polling page, that the QUEUEABLE has been processed based on the QUEUEABLES list; and

obtaining, by the VISUALFORCE polling page, at least some of a plurality of records by the processing of the QUEUEABLE.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the VISUALFORCE processing page or the VISUALFORCE polling page is in read-only mode.

3 . The method of claim 2 further comprising, prior to processing the job identifier:

building a jobs list including the plurality of job identifiers associated with the plurality of jobs that require processing, the plurality of job identifiers including the job identifier.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the VISUALFORCE processing page iteratively processes each job identifier, routes a job of each job identifier to a QUEUEABLE configured to process the job, and adds a QUEUEABLE identifier for each QUEUEABLE to the QUEUEABLES list.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein polling the QUEUEABLES list by the VISUALFORCE polling page begins after all jobs have been routed to the QUEUEABLES.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein obtaining at least some of the plurality of records comprises:

determining, by the VISUALFORCE polling page, that each of the QUEUEABLES has been processed; and

combining, by the VISUALFORCE polling page, records obtained by the processed QUEUEABLES to thereby obtain the plurality of records.

7 . The method of claim 6 further comprising, upon determining that the QUEUEABLES have been processed:

checking for errors related to processing the QUEUEABLES;

upon detecting an error, issuing an error message; and

upon detecting no errors, issuing a success message.

8 . A computer-implemented method performed on a cloud-based platform, the method comprising:

processing a job identifier obtained from a job list to obtain an identified job, the job list including a plurality of job identifiers associated with a plurality of jobs;

routing the identified job to a queued object configured to process the identified job;

adding a queued-object identifier for the queued object to a queued-objects list;

polling the queued-objects list for the queued-object identifier of the queued object;

determining that the queued object has been processed based on the queued-objects list; and

obtaining at least some of a plurality of records based on the processed queued object.

9 . The method of claim 8 further comprising, prior to processing the job identifier:

building the jobs list of the plurality of job identifiers including the job identifier.

10 . The method of claim 8 further comprising, upon determining that the queued objects have been processed:

checking for errors related to processing the queued objects;

upon detecting an error, issuing an error message; and

upon detecting no errors, issuing a success message.

11 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the cloud-based platform iteratively processes each job identifier, routes each job of each job identifier to a queued object configured to process the job, and adds a queued-object identifier for each queued object to the queued-objects list.

12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein polling the queued-objects list begins after all the jobs have been routed to the queued objects.

13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein obtaining at least some of the plurality of records comprises:

determining that each of the queued objects has been processed; and

combining records obtained based on the processed queued objects to thereby obtain the plurality of records.

14 . The method of claim 8 , wherein:

processing the job identifier, routing the identified job, and adding the queued-object identifier to the queued-objects list is performed by a first instance of a component-based user interface framework; and

polling the queued-objects list, determining that the queued object has been processed, and obtaining the plurality of records is performed by a second instance of a component-based user interface framework.

15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the cloud-based platform is a SALESFORCE platform, the first instance of a component-based user interface framework is a first VISUALFORCE page in read-only mode, and the second instance of a the component-based user interface framework is a second VISUALFORCE page in read-only mode, and the queued object is a QUEUEABLE.

16 . The method of claim 8 , wherein the queued objects are processed asynchronously.

17 . A computer system for combining VISUALFORCE and QUEUEABLES on a SALESFORCE application development platform to process a plurality of records, the computer system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory that includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computer system to:

process, by a VISUALFORCE processing page, a job identifier for a job;

route, by the VISUALFORCE processing page, the identified job to a QUEUEABLE configured to process the identified job;

add, by the VISUALFORCE processing page, a QUEUEABLE identifier for the QUEUEABLE to a QUEUEABLES list;

poll, by a VISUALFORCE polling page, the QUEUEABLES list for the QUEUEABLE identifier;

determine, by the VISUALFORCE polling page, that the QUEUEABLE has been processed based on the QUEUEABLES list; and

obtain, by the VISUALFORCE polling page, at least some of a plurality of records by the processing of the QUEUEABLE.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein at least one of the VISUALFORCE processing page is in read-only mode or the VISUALFORCE polling page is in read-only mode.

19 . The computer system of claim 18 being further operative to:

iteratively process each job identifier, route a job of each job identifier to a QUEUEABLE configured to process the job, and add a QUEUEABLE identifier for each QUEUEABLE to the QUEUEABLES list.

20 . The computer system of claim 19 being further operative to:

determine that each of the QUEUEABLES has been processed; and

combine records obtained by the processed QUEUEABLES to thereby obtain the plurality of records.
