getRecord Examples

Example: Retrieve a Key

This example calls getRecord, assigning the returned value to an instance of Result and calling Result.getCode to assign the error code to a variable which is then conditionally checked to determine the code to execute. If the call was not successful, the code calls throwError to display an error dialog. If the call was successful, the code creates an instance of Parameters from which it then extracts the city key.

String accountID = "";
// Some logic to populate accountID variable.
Result result = Functions.getRecord("ACCOUNT","city,country",accountID);
int resultCode = result.getCode();
if(resultCode != 1)
{
    // Some error happened.
    String msg = "Account could not be retrieved";
    Logger.info(msg + ":\n" + result.getMessage(), "Get Key"); // Log details
    Functions.throwError(msg + ".");                           // Error message
}
else
{
  //Records retrieved successfully
  Parameters resultParameters = result.getParameters();
  String city = resultParameters.get("city");
  // Other code according to your business logic.
}

Example:Access File Data

When a field points to a file, the PlatformFileBean parameter is used to retrieve the file's contents:

Result result = Functions.getRecord( {objectName}, "fieldName,..." , {record_Id} );
Parameters resultParameters = result.getParameters();
PlatformFileBean file= resultParameters.getPlatformFileBean("fieldName");
String content = file.getEncodedFileContent();

Example: Access an Audit Log

Audit Logs can be searched using the getRecord and searchRecord APIs

How it Works

Provide an audit log recordID to get a single record and retrieve a list of audit log fields.

Syntax

public static Result Functions.getRecord(String objectId, String fields, String recordId)

objectId

log

fields

record_id, ownerid, type, operation, object_singular_name, date_created, description, type_code

recordId

audit log record Id

Return

Result object

Audit Log Example Based on recordID

Result result = Functions.getRecord("log","record_id,type,operation,"+
"object,description","656");

int resultCode = result.getCode();

if(resultCode != 1)
{
    // Some error happened.
    String msg = "Log could not be retrieved";
    Logger.info(msg + ":\n" + result.getMessage(), "Audit"); // Log details
    Functions.throwError(msg + ".");                         // Error message
}
else
{
  //Records retrieved successfully
    Parameters params = result.getParameters();
    String desc= params.get("description");
    String type= params.get("type");
    String obj = params.get("object");
    String record_id = params.get("record_id");
    String operation = params.get("operation");                  

    // Take action according to your business logic
   
}
