Struggling with Salesforce Sandbox Refresh
I knew as soon as it happened, it was going to eat up hours of my time. I first noticed it as a failure of one of the tests I was running this morning. Nothing back from Salesforce, and when I looked at the log files, everything was failing. I had heard that they would be refreshing the staging sandbox from production, but I had no idea it'd be this morning.
So first things first… Wait.
Let them finish the refresh and then try to get the Remote Access going again, given that I've never really gotten it going in the first place. You have to create an application in Salesforce, and then make sure that's all OK to get the first two pieces of the authentication tokens. Then you have to have the new user send it's security token back to you, and now you just need to battle with the uncompiled, or mis-permissioned classes.
It's enough to make you want to drink. Heavily.
I had some help, and that's nice, but it was still an amazing waste of time to get things back to where they were. But hey… I'm sure someone had a good reason for this. I just can't possibly imagine what it is.
