UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION: An unexpected error occurred. Please include this ErrorId if you contact support: 1417884933-3641 (-2142224028)

Question

I get this error id (1417884933-3641 (-2142224028)) when i try to use the Metadata API(.Net) to create a custom object with fields

This is my sample code

         CustomObject co = new CustomObject();
         co.deploymentStatus = DeploymentStatus.Deployed;
         co.deploymentStatusSpecified = true;
         co.enableActivities = true;
         co.description = objectName;
         co.fullName = "TestObj__c"
         co.label = "TestObj";
         co.pluralLabel = "TestObjs";
         co.sharingModel = SharingModel.ReadWrite;
         co.sharingModelSpecified = true;

         CustomField nameField = new CustomField();
         nameField.fullName = "TestObj Name"
         nameField.type = FieldType.Text;
         nameField.typeSpecified = true;
         nameField.label = "Name Field"
         co.nameField = nameField;

         CustomField customField1 = new CustomField();
         customField1.fullName = "TestObj__c.TestField__c";
         customField1.type = FieldType.Text;
         customField1.typeSpecified = true;
         customField1.label = "Test Field";
         co.fields = new CustomField[] {  customField1 };

         SaveResult[] results = ms.createMetadata(new metaforce.Metadata[] { co });

It throws the exception at the createmetadata call

EDIT:- If i don't specify the custom field name as "TestObj__c.TestField__c" but do something like

customField1.fullName = "Test Field";

i don't get any exception and the custom object "TestObj" is created but there are no custom fields in the object

Answer 1

whenever we get an error of this kind(with Error ID), the exception is caught by Salesforce across the Error ID. So for speedy resolution and understanding the exact issue, its a good practice to get in touch with SFDC Support and then move forward.

I was having the same issue.

And finally solved it out !

If you miss the field length it won't work, look at this:

metaforce.CustomField nf = new metaforce.CustomField() nf.label = "Name Test"; nf.fullName = "Name Field"; nf.type = daTest.metaforce.FieldType.Text; nf.typeSpecified = true;

co.nameField = nf;


metaforce.CustomField myfield = new metaforce.CustomField(); myfield.label = "CustomField"; myfield.fullName = "CustomField__c"; myfield.type = daTest.metaforce.FieldType.Text; myfield.length = 30; myfield.lengthSpecified = true; myfield.typeSpecified = true;

metaforce.CustomField myfieldb = new metaforce.CustomField(); myfieldb.label = "CustomFieldb"; myfieldb.fullName = "CustomFieldb__c"; myfieldb.type = daTest.metaforce.FieldType.Text; myfieldb.length = 30; myfieldb.lengthSpecified = true; myfieldb.typeSpecified = true;

metaforce.CustomField myfieldc = new metaforce.CustomField(); myfieldc.label = "from_ui"; myfieldc.fullName = "from_ui__c"; myfieldc.type = daTest.metaforce.FieldType.Text; myfieldc.length = 30; myfieldc.lengthSpecified = true; myfieldc.typeSpecified = true; myfieldc.required = false;

co.fields = new metaforce.CustomField[] { myfield, myfieldb, myfieldc } ;

That works for me !

If you r creating field along with Object then FullName of custom field should not contain "Custom object Name"

 customField1.fullName = "TestField__c"; 

If you create only field then only u need to write like this

customField1.fullName = "TestObj__c.TestField__c";

..

CustomObject co = new CustomObject();
             co.deploymentStatus = "Deployed";
             co.deploymentStatusSpecified = true;
             co.enableActivities = true;
             co.description = "objectName";
             co.fullName = "TestObj__c"
             co.label = "TestObj";
             co.pluralLabel = "TestObjs";
             co.sharingModel = "ReadWrite";
             co.sharingModelSpecified = true;

             CustomField nameField = new CustomField();
             nameField.type = 'CustomField';
             nameField.type_x = FieldType.Text;
             nameField.label = "Name Field"
             co.nameField = nameField;

             CustomField customField1 = new CustomField();
             customField1.fullName = "TestField__c";
             customField1.type = 'CustomField';
             customField1.type_x = FieldType.Text;
             customField1.typeSpecified = true;
             customField1.label = "Test Field";
             co.fields = new CustomField[] {  customField1 };

             SaveResult[] results = ms.createMetadata(new metaforce.Metadata[] { co });

I think this might be usefull for you if i am wrong then correct me.
