This is the base package for all ANT related commands. If you have already installed Java on your machine confirm the version by typing ‘java version’ using the command prompt or terminal.The Salesforce documentation mentions that you should have Java version 1.7.x or later for better security and TLS support.
Before you install ANT you must first install the Java(JDK/JRE) minimum of 1.5.x version.So let’s see a simple demo at work with ANT. The example below will describe a practical example of migration from one org to another org including code.ĪNT uses XML instructions to perform the actions but to use it you don’t need to have prior knowledge of Java or Salesforce API’s (Metadata or any other), you just need a basic knowledge of XML and the ANT commands available. Let’s see how we can use ANT to deploy or retrieve one Salesforce Org’s metadata to another org. ANT performs actions faster than other two. ANT uses XML instructions to perform the appropriate operation like deploy, retrieve, list metadata and so on. ANT: A free tool from Apache that can be used for scripting build operations and in the case of Salesforce, retrieve and deploy one Salesforce org’s metadata to any other org.Eclipse IDE: By using Eclipse IDE you can deploy Salesforce metadata from one org to another but it involves more manual intervention.Change sets: Change sets are primarily available only in Production and Sandbox instances, you cannot use Change sets to deploy/retrieve metadata to other unrelated Salesforce Orgs.Let’s understand a little more about each of them: Custom Tool (you can create your own custom utility to deploy/retrieve metadata using the metadata API).Change sets are only one of the many ways available by which you can deploy one Salesforce Org’s components to other. When starting with Salesforce, you learn about how change sets can be used to deploy changes between related orgs. As Salesforce projects and deployments get more complex, it is a good idea to learn more about the different deployment options that Salesforce provides.
