Deployment from Sandbox to Production using Change Sets

Sandbox :

Outbound Change Sets

An outbound change set contains customizations that you want to send from this organization to another organization. These customizations can include new components or modifications to existing components, such as apps, objects, reports, or Apex classes and triggers. An outbound change set can't be used to delete or rename components in another organization.

Example uses:

Deploy Apex classes and triggers developed in sandbox to production

Copy custom objects and other customizations to a sandbox without refreshing it

Migrate changes across environments, e.g. dev sandbox to QA sandbox to production

We need to create change sets in sandbox environment using below steps:

Step 1:

Deploy > Outbound Change Sets > New

Name : Apex and Visualforce

Step 2:

Create new Components like (VF, Apex Class, Objects, Triggers, App, Reports, etc...) Using Add Button.

'Upload' button is disabled in the Change Set Details section. once added the component using Step 3 and 'Upload' button also enabled.

Step 3:

Choose the component mention below screen and finally click 'Add To Change Set' button.

Step 4:

once component added, then we need to upload the component from sandbox to production using 'UPLOAD' button.

Step 5:

Once finished Step 4, It will be available shortly in Production, so that an administrator can deploy it in Production 'Inbound Change Sets'.

Production

Deploy > Inbound Change Sets > New

Inbound Change Sets

An inbound change set contains customizations sent from another organization to this one. These customizations can include new components or modifications to existing components, such as apps, objects, reports, or Apex classes and triggers. An inbound change set can't delete or rename components in this organization.Example uses:

Deploy Apex classes and triggers developed in sandbox to production

Apply changes from other environments to this organization, such as new objects and fields

When planning to deploy on a schedule, validate pending changes ahead of time

Finally we need to Validate and Deploy it.

What is Salesforce?

Salesforce CRM is a web-based Customer Relationship Management (CRM) service. It allows you to create a single view of your customers and leads, coordinate your sales, marketing and customer service activities and provides an overview into how your business is operating.

You can generate, manage, and report on leads, opportunities and track results from first contact to won or lost business. You can see the results of your marketing campaigns and understand their impact using real-time analytics.

It helps to improves efficiency, reduces administration time and lets you focus more on your business by reducing the time taken to search for information by providing a centralized service.

Salesforce has several products and service categories such as Sales cloud, Service cloud, Data cloud, Collaboration Cloud (including Chatter) and Custom Cloud (Force.com).
