CHANGESET DEPLOYMENT SALESFORCE
Changeset deployment in Salesforce is the most effective way to streamline updates and customizations among different salesforce organizations, keeping data consistent from one org to another. By keeping a consistent set of operations in all of your current, active Salesforce Orgs, you can save time and money by ensuring your Salesforce Organization receives all of the new releases and updates without the need for manual maintenance. As with any modernization task, the main goal in prioritizing changeset deployment is to improve user experience while reducing time and costs. This can be accomplished by optimizing automation processes, streamlining the process so that changesets can be deployed as quickly and as often as possible. To start, let’s look at the components of changeset deployment and how they can help optimize your salesforce system. 1. Metadata – This is essentially the source code or structure for your Salesforce system. Different from customization, metadata changes often account for complex updates that require organization-wide changes. As such, these should be identified and included in your changeset to ensure you achieve the desired results efficiently. 2. Customizations – Generally referred to as “managed” packages, usually created by third-party developers, customizations are the most valuable segment in any changeset deployment. They will include changes such as new features, bug fixes, and improvements to existing objects or transactions. 3. Reports/Dashboards/Forms – Reports, dashboards, and forms can also be included in changeset deployments. There are a variety of ways these can be included, such as copying from existing sources, or creating new reports and forms with specific combinations of fields. 4. Packaging & Unpackaging – The packaging and unpackaging of changesets is essential to ensure delivery and accuracy. This can be done manually or automatically, depending on how you choose to manage the process. When done automatically, packaging and unpackaging can be completed in just a few minutes, helping to speed up the changeset deployment process significantly. 5. Scheduling – Scheduling a changeset deployment is the next key step to optimizing the process. Any time a big deployment is needed, scheduling this ahead of time gives you time to plan and prepare for the upcoming changes. This also allows for any unexpected emergencies to be handled By following these steps, you can optimize your changeset deployment process, reduce time and costs, and improve user experience for your Salesforce Orgs.
