I have a list of Attachment ID's with me given by the client, I want to extract the Attachment-Data with the given ID's(provided by client). How can i do this...is there any tool or app in SF through which i can get the attachment data for the only ID's I have. As through data-loader it is not possible as per me.
Please provide some solution to this ASAP.
Thanks Chirag
Dataloader is the best tool to Migrate or get the attachments from salesforce. In case this is not possible. you can try appexchange tools like FileExporter
you can find more details in this Link: http://www.madronasg.com/blog/how-migrate-attachments-one-salesforcecom-org-another#.UiVRejanog1
We can use a tool like Data Loader Available in Enterprise, Unlimited, Developer, and Database.com editions. In this case, while exporting the data you would be required to tweak the SOQL query in such a way that it returns Attachments only related to that ID, but not all of it. When you see the Attachment object, one of the field in that is parentid which is nothing but the id of the related Parent Account. So you would have to filter the records on that criteria.
For ex:
SELECT id, parentid FROM Attachment WHERE parentid='00P28000000nPco'
The above query would return files only attached to this particular solution. I have used one in this query. You can modify the query as per your requirement and then export data.
