Ow can I troubleshoot and resolve the issue of “System.StringException:Invalid I’d”?

257    Asked by CsabaToth in Salesforce , Asked on May 20, 2024

I am currently working on a Salesforce integration project where the customer data is being migrated from an old system to Salesforce. During the data migration process, I encountered an issue which was stating that “System.StringException: Invalid I’d” for some records. How can I troubleshoot and resolve this particular issue? 

Answered by Daniel BAKER

In the context of Salesforce, you can troubleshoot and resolve this issue by using these steps:-

Identify the issue

You can check the data being migrated for any IDs which are incorrectly formatted or do not match the Salesforce ID format.

Data cleaning

You can implement the data cleaning techniques to ensure that all IDs being migrated adhere to the Salesforce ID format. This may include removing invalid characters, padding with zeros, or correcting the length of the IDs.

Validation rules

You can review any salesforce validation rules that might be causing the error. Try to ensure that the data being migrated complies with these rules.

Debugging logs

You can enable the Debug logs in Salesforce to capture more detailed information about the error. You can analyze the logs to pinpoint the exact location and cause the “Invalid Id” exception.

Code validation

If you are using the apex or custom code for the migration, then try to validate the code that would generate or manipulate the IDs foe ensure it generates valid salesforce IDs.

Here Is an example given below:-

Public class DataMigrationHandler {
    Public static void migrateData(List recordIdsToMigrate) {
        List accountsToInsert = new List();
        For (String recordId : recordIdsToMigrate) {
            Try {
                // Check if the recordId is a valid Salesforce ID
                If (isValidSalesforceId(recordId)) {
                    // Create a new Account record and add it to the list for insertion
                    Account newAccount = new Account(Name = ‘Sample Account’, RecordTypeId = ‘012xxxxxxxxxxxx’, External_Id__c = recordId);
                    accountsToInsert.add(newAccount);
                } else {
                    // Log or handle the Invalid Id case
                    System.debug(‘Invalid Id: ‘ + recordId);
                    // Additional handling steps if needed
                }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                // Log the exception and continue processing other records
                System.debug(‘Exception while processing recordId: ‘ + recordId + ‘, Message: ‘ + e.getMessage());
            }
        }
        // Insert the valid Account records
        If (!accountsToInsert.isEmpty()) {
            Try {
                Insert accountsToInsert;
                System.debug(‘Data migration successful.’);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                System.debug(‘Exception during data insertion: ‘ + e.getMessage());
                // Handle the insertion exception as per your requirements
            }
        }
    }
    // Helper method to check if a string is a valid Salesforce ID
    Private static Boolean isValidSalesforceId(String idString) {
        // Salesforce IDs are either 15 or 18 characters long
        Return idString != null && (idString.length() == 15 || idString.length() == 18);
    }
}

Here is the java based coding given:-

Import com.sforce.ws.ConnectorConfig;
Import com.sforce.ws.ConnectionException;
Import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.EnterpriseConnection;
Import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.SaveResult;
Import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.sobject.Account;
Import com.sforce.soap.enterprise.sobject.SObject;
Public class SalesforceIntegration {
    Private static final String USERNAME = “your_salesforce_username”;
    Private static final String PASSWORD = “your_salesforce_password”;
    Private static final String SECURITY_TOKEN = “your_salesforce_security_token”;
    Private static final String AUTH_ENDPOINT = https://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/52.0;
    Public static void main(String[] args) {
        ConnectorConfig config = new ConnectorConfig();
        Config.setUsername(USERNAME);
        Config.setPassword(PASSWORD + SECURITY_TOKEN);
        Config.setAuthEndpoint(AUTH_ENDPOINT);
        Try {

            // Establish connection

            EnterpriseConnection connection = new EnterpriseConnection(config);
            // Create a new Account
            Account account = new Account();
            Account.setName(“Sample Account”);
            Account.setExternal_Id__c(“InvalidId123”); // Invalid Salesforce ID
            // Insert the Account record
            SaveResult[] saveResults = connection.create(new SObject[] { account });
            // Check for any errors in the SaveResult
            For (SaveResult result : saveResults) {
                If (result.isSuccess()) {
                    System.out.println(“Account created with ID: “ + result.getId());
                } else {
                    // Handle the error
                    For (com.sforce.soap.enterprise.Error error : result.getErrors()) {
                        If (error.getStatusCode().toString().equals(“INVALID_ID_FIELD”)) {
                            // Log or handle the Invalid Id case
                            System.out.println(“Invalid Id error: “ + error.getMessage());
                            // Additional handling steps if needed
                        } else {
                            System.out.println(“Error: “ + error.getStatusCode() + “ – “ + error.getMessage());
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        } catch (ConnectionException e) {
            System.err.println(“Connection error: “ + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Here is the Python based coding given:-

From simple_salesforce import Salesforce

From simple_salesforce.exceptions import SalesforceAuthenticationFailed, SalesforceResourceNotFound

# Salesforce credentials and security token

USERNAME = ‘your_salesforce_username’
PASSWORD = ‘your_salesforce_password’
SECURITY_TOKEN = ‘your_salesforce_security_token’
SALESFORCE_DOMAIN = ‘login.salesforce.com’
Def migrate_data(record_ids_to_migrate):

    Try:

        # Initialize Salesforce connection

        Sf = Salesforce(username=USERNAME, password=PASSWORD, security_token=SECURITY_TOKEN, domain=SALESFORCE_DOMAIN)
        # Prepare data for migration (assuming Account object)
        Records_to_insert = []
        For record_id in record_ids_to_migrate:
            Try:
                # Create a new Account record
                New_account = {‘Name’: ‘Sample Account’, ‘External_Id__c’: record_id} # Invalid Salesforce ID
                Records_to_insert.append(new_account)
            Except Exception as e:
                Print(f”Error while processing record ID {record_id}: {str€}”)
        # Insert records into Salesforce
        If records_to_insert:
            Result = sf.bulk.Account.insert(records_to_insert)
            For record in result:
                If record[‘success’]:
                    Print(f”Account created with ID: {record[‘id’]}”)
                Else:
                    # Handle error cases
                    If ‘INVALID_ID_FIELD’ in record[‘errors’][0][‘errorCode’]:
                        Print(f”Invalid Id error: {record[‘errors’][0][‘message’]}”)
                        # Additional handling steps if needed
                    Else:
                        Print(f”Error: {record[‘errors’][0][‘errorCode’]} – {record[‘errors’][0][‘message’]}”)
    Except SalesforceAuthenticationFailed as auth_exc:
        Print(f”Salesforce authentication failed: {str(auth_exc)}”)
    Except SalesforceResourceNotFound as res_not_found_exc:
        Print(f”Salesforce resource not found: {str(res_not_found_exc)}”)
    Except Exception as exc:
        Print(f”Error occurred: {str(exc)}”)
# Example usage
If __name__ == “__main__”:
    Record_ids = [‘InvalidId123’, ‘ValidId456’, ‘InvalidId789’]
    Migrate_data(record_ids)

You’ll need to install the simple-salesforce library (pip install simple-salesforce) and replace placeholders like your_salesforce_username, your_salesforce_password, and your_salesforce_security_token with your actual Salesforce credentials and security token.
