Sample Code—Java

This sample shows how to use the DisableFeedTrackingHeader. It sets this header to true to disable feed tracking and then creates many account records in bulk.

1public void disableFeedTrackingHeaderSample() {
2  try {
3    // Insert a large number of accounts.
4    SObject[] sObjects = new SObject[500];
5    for (int i = 0; i < 500; i++)  {
6       Account a = new Account();
7       a.setName("my-account-" + i);
8       sObjects[i] = a;
9    }
10    // Set the SOAP header to disable feed tracking to avoid generating a
11    // large number of feed items because of this bulk operation.
12    connection.setDisableFeedTrackingHeader(true);
13    // Perform the bulk create. This won't result in 500 feed items, which
14    // would otherwise be generated without the DisableFeedTrackingHeader.
15    SaveResult[] sr = connection.create(sObjects);  
16    for (int i = 0; i < sr.length; i++) { 
17      if (sr[i].isSuccess()) {
18        System.out.println("Successfully created account with id: " + 
19          sr[i].getId() + ".");
20      } else {
21        System.out.println("Error creating account: " + 
22          sr[i].getErrors()[0].getMessage());
23      }
24    }
25  } catch (ConnectionException ce) {
26    ce.printStackTrace();
27  }
