GlossarySitesForce.com Sites enables you to create public websites and applications that are directly integrated with your Database.comorganization—without requiring users to log in with a username and password.SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)A protocol that defines a uniform way of passing XML-encoded data.Software as a Service (SaaS)A delivery model where a software application is hosted as a service and provided to customers via the Internet. TheSaaS vendor takes responsibility for the daily maintenance, operation, and support of the application and each customer'sdata. The service alleviates the need for customers to install, configure, and maintain applications with their own hardware,software, and related IT resources. Services can be delivered using the SaaS model to any market segment.SOQL (Salesforce Object Query Language)A query language that allows you to construct simple but powerful query strings and to specify the criteria that shouldbe used to select data from the Force.com database.SOSL (Salesforce Object Search Language)A query language that allows you to perform text-based searches using the Force.com API.System LogTPart of the Developer Console, a separate window console that can be used for debugging code snippets. Enter the codeyou want to test at the bottom of the window and click Execute. The body of the System Log displays system resourceinformation, such as how long a line took to execute or how many database calls were made. If the code did not run tocompletion, the console also displays debugging information.Test DatabaseA nearly identical copy of a Database.com production organization. You can create a test database for a variety of purposes,such as testing and training, without compromising the data and applications in your production environment.Test MethodTriggerAn Apex class method that verifies whether a particular piece of code is working properly. Test methods take no arguments,commit no data to the database, and can be executed by the runTests() system method either through the commandline or in an Apex IDE, such as the Force.com IDE.A piece of Apex that executes before or after records of a particular type are inserted, updated, or deleted from thedatabase. Every trigger runs with a set of context variables that provide access to the records that caused the trigger tofire, and all triggers run in bulk mode—that is, they process several records at once, rather than just one record at a time.Trigger Context VariableUDefault variables that provide access to information about the trigger and the records that caused it to fire.Unit TestA unit is the smallest testable part of an application, usually a method. A unit test operates on that piece of code to makesure it works correctly. See also Test Method.URL (Uniform Resource Locator)The global address of a website, document, or other resource on the Internet. For example, http://www.salesforce.com.186
GlossaryVValidation RuleWA rule that prevents a record from being saved if it does not meet the standards that are specified.Web LinksSee Custom Links.Web ServiceA mechanism by which two applications can easily exchange data over the Internet, even if they run on different platforms,are written in different languages, or are geographically remote from each other.WebService MethodAn Apex class method or variable that can be used by external systems, like a mash-up with a third-party application.Web service methods must be defined in a global class.Web Services APIA Web services application programming interface that provides access to your Database.com organization's information.See also SOAP API and Bulk API.Workflow ActionA workflow action is a field update or outbound message that fires when the conditions of a workflow rule are met.Workflow Field UpdateA workflow action that changes the value of a particular field on a record when a workflow rule is triggered.Workflow Outbound MessageA workflow action that sends data to an external Web service, such as another cloud computing application. Outboundmessages are used primarily with composite apps.Workflow QueueA list of workflow actions that are scheduled to fire based on workflow rules that have one or more time-dependentworkflow actions.Workflow RuleA workflow rule sets workflow actions into motion when its designated conditions are met. You can configure workflowactions to execute immediately when a record meets the conditions in your workflow rule, or set time triggers that executethe workflow actions on a specific day.WSDL (Web Services Description Language) FileXAn XML file that describes the format of messages you send and receive from a Web service. Your developmentenvironment's SOAP client uses the Database.com Enterprise WSDL or Partner WSDL to communicate withDatabase.com using the SOAP API.XML (Extensible Markup Language)YA markup language that enables the sharing and transportation of structured data. All Force.com components that areretrieved or deployed through the Metadata API are represented by XML definitions.No Glossary items for this entry.187
