How can I determine if the org that I'm currently connected to is a scratch org?












4















When I'm within a Salesforce org, how can I tell if that org is a Scratch Org or not?



Ideally this would be via Apex, but it could be an API call if required.



This would be useful information for the creator of a managed package who may not otherwise know what type of org is running the code.




I've had a couple of thoughts on how this might be achieved:




  1. Check if the pod/instance that Scratch orgs are created on are separate from the general population of sandbox orgs. I suspect that scratch orgs have dedicated hardware. E.g. a new scratch org I just created is on p0/CS31.

  2. Look for describe Metadata that is unique to only scratch orgs.

  • Can you see the relevant ActiveScratchOrg or ScratchOrgInfo from within one?

  • @AdrianLarson Those are in the DevHub, aren't they? I don't think they would be reachable from the Scratch org itself in isolation.

The SourceMember sObject is only present in scratch orgs. Its presence would be a sign that you are in a scratch org. The gotcha would be that it is only accessible via the Tooling API and not Apex alone.

  • This seems like a great solution and shouldn't be too difficult with an HTTP request from Apex. Especially since we don't need the Remote Site setting anymore.

Always On Availability groups resolving state after failover - Remote harden of transaction...

0 My explanation will be opinion based as it is based on my findings. If more information is needed, I am always happy to add it. The setup We have 4 SQL Server 2016 Instances, and all 4 underlying servers are in a WSFC (In my eyes a strange setup since Always On AG's are 2 by 2. But that is a different question.) 4 nodes + Fileshare witness Version: 13.0.5026.0 (all nodes) The instances that are having the failover issues are instances 1 & 2. They have 3 AG's between them. AG1 is primary on instance 1 and is having the issue. AG2 and AG3 are primary on instance 2. Instances 3 and 4 have their own separate AG's (2).

Restoring from pg_dump with foreign key constraints

Image
5 2 In restoring a database from a pg_dump , a number of errors are being generated and the whole table is subsequently being ignored. An example: ERROR: insert or update on table "channelproducts" violates foreign key constraint "fk_rails_dfaae373a5" DETAIL: Key (channel_id)=(1) is not present in table "channels". Interestingly enough, I've noted that all these instances are popping up because of the sequence of loading. channels is after channelproducts both alphabetically and in the file and thus I can understand why postgres complains about having to create a child without a parent. caveat: the foreign key is being generated automatically by rails 4.2: I could remove the problem at the source but that still does not really solve the problem... version: PostgreSQL
