We’re looking for guidance on configuring the MuleSoft JMS connector to read IBM MQ messages in raw binary format. This is to address a specific requirement where mainframe jobs are placing messages on MQ with RFH2 headers.

The default IBM MQ connector attempts to parse these messages and fails due to the presence of the RFH2 headers. Based on our research and MuleSoft documentation, one of the recommended approaches is to use the JMS connector instead of the IBM MQ connector, or alternatively, implement a custom Java class to handle the message payloads correctly.

Has anyone encountered a similar scenario and successfully configured the JMS connector to handle such messages without parsing errors? Any code snippets, configuration tips, or guidance on handling RFH2 headers with MuleSoft would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @Mykhailo Vdovychenko - We were able to solve this by using native IBM MQ API rather than JMS based connector. In our use case we need the information contained in the RFH2 header and the JMS connector was unable to parse the message properly. We believe this is a limitation of JMS based connector. Please let us know of your thoughts. Thank you for your response

In the Badge module :  

Build a data model for a recruiting app > Create a Custom Object for Job Posting Sites 

It asked me to create a new custom object and create few fields. 

I followed every single step in it and triple checked my field api name and everything else too. 

 

but when i click on the "verify step" it is showing me the error : Step not yet complete in My Trailhead Playground 1

The field 'Job_Posting_Site_URL__c' either does not exist on the Job_Posting_Site__c object or it is not of type URL. 

 

I have checked it, still it shows this error, do kindly help me out.

    Hello @Srikar Reddy

     

    This error usually happens when the field name or type is slightly off. 

    1. Ensure the API name is exactly Job_Posting_Site_URL__c with no extra spaces or typos. 

    2. Confirm the field type is URL, not Text or another format. 

    3 . If using a Trailhead Playground, refresh your org or log out and back in. 

    4. If all else fails, delete and recreate the field with the correct API name and type.

Hi guys, 

 

I am facing an issue in our experience community.  

Our partner community user cannot see all other partner user when he is trying to transfer a record to him.  

For example, i have an partner user "test", who is able to see the record, but still we cannot see him when we search for new owner.

Hello,  

Im Akhila. 

I have got 3+ years of experience in Digital Marketing(Paid social,SEO,Campaign management etc) and would like to upskill myself and switch to a salesforce marketing cloud focused role. 

  

I am brand new to the SF ecosystem and have been working my way through the Marketing Cloud email Specialist Trailmix and so far so good. I just have a few questions to make sure I am going about this the correct way.  

 

1. Is there another Certification I should focus on instead of Email Specialist or is that a good certification for someone just getting into the mix. I understand Marketing Cloud Admin is another option but wasn't sure if I "needed" it first before I go for the Email Specialist Certification.  

 

Basically just trying to make sure i'm taking the right steps to get to where I want to go and make sure that I take those steps in the correct order.  

 

2. What is the ideal time period for someone like me to prepare for these certification exams. Is the content on trailhead enough or should i get help from external training providers. 

 

Thanks, 

Akhila

    Hi, @Akhila Jose

     

    I agree that there are various perspectives on this topic. Therefore, please consider my opinion as a reference. 

     

    The order in which you pursue certifications is not incorrect. The following sequence is reasonable: 

     

    1. Email Specialist 

    2. MC Admin 

    3. MC Consultant 

    4. MC Developer

     

    Whether you have access to an environment where you can use Marketing Cloud is crucial. The duration of your learning process will depend on this. 

     

    If asked whether Trailhead alone is sufficient, the answer is NO. With the exception of the Associate level, most Salesforce certification exams cannot be passed with Trailhead alone. Important hints for the answers are often hidden in the help documentation, so be sure to review the help docs as well.

I'm use the JWT auth flow to get access token for a salesforce org. 

And it was working fine until last week and suddenly we started to get the following error. 

 

{"error":"unknown_error","error_description":"retry your request"} 

 

But the user login history shows its successful. 

 

Anyone knows how to debug this issue

    Is private key/certificate still good ? Other things you can check is event monitoring logs if anything shows up there. And your Error description is not really clear, you may want to log a case with SF support.

Hi all, Over the past 5 years, we have been actively using Conga Composer within our Salesforce environment to support various document generation and automation needs. While the tool has served us well, due to current budget constraints, we are now planning to decommission Conga Composer from our Salesforce org. In this regard, we are seeking your valuable inputs and recommendations on potential alternatives or strategies to replace Conga Composer effectively without compromising on functionality or performance. Our primary use cases include generating loan documents and other Salesforce record-based outputs.

I logged a case with the certification team (90061) on 7/30 due to the exam software not being able to match my face to the biometric photo (was told by Kryterion that it was because of glasses).

 

No one from SFDC has followed up on this case, and I called general SFDC support but they cannot help or expedite. Does anyone know a way to directly contact the team responsible for certification case management or faciliate a response?
