Customer support

Now that you are the proud owner of a Packt book, we have a number of things to help you to get the most from your purchase.

Downloading the example code

The source code for this book has been provided through the cloud-based source control repository known as GitHub. The collective source code for the application built throughout the book is available in the main branch. For each chapter, a branch has been provided containing the code added during that chapter building from the previous one, for example, branch chapter-02 will contain code from chapter-01.

The repository for this book can be found at https://github.com/afawcett/forcedotcom-enterprise-architecture.

Downloading the source code

You can download the example code files for all Packt books you have purchased from your account at http://www.packtpub.com. If you purchased this book elsewhere, you can visit http://www.packtpub.com/support and register to have the files e-mailed directly to you.

An alternate way to download the source code is to navigate to www.github.com in your browser using the link given in the preceding section, locate the repository and branch you want to download, either the main branch or a specific chapter branch, and then click on the Download Zip button in the sidebar on the right.

Alternatively, you can download the GitHub desktop clients as listed above and click on the Clone in Desktop button.

Of course, if you are familiar with Git, you are free to use the tool of your choice.

Deploying the source code

Once you have the source code downloaded for your chosen chapter, you should execute the Ant build script to deploy the code into your chosen Salesforce Developer Edition org (as described in Chapter 1, Building, Publishing, and Supporting Your Application).

Open a command line and navigate to the root folder where you downloaded the source code (this should be the folder with the build.xml file in it). To deploy the code, execute the following command, all on one line:

# ant deploy -Dsf.username=[e-mail] -Dsf.password=mypasswordmytoken

Note

Remember that the password and token are concatenated together.

Keep in mind that each chapter branch builds incrementally from the last and will overlay new files as well as changes into your chosen DE org. So, each branch may overwrite changes you make to existing files as you have been exploring that chapter. If you are concerned about this, it is best to use one of the desktop development tools listed earlier, and prior to running the previous command, download the code from the server for safe keeping.

Downloading the color images of this book

We also provide you a PDF file that has color images of the screenshots/diagrams used in this book. The color images will help you better understand the changes in the output. You can download this file from https://www.packtpub.com/sites/default/files/downloads/2994EN_GraphicsBundle.pdf.
