Note: This release is in preview. Features described here don’t become generally available until the latest general availability date that Salesforce announces for this release. Before then, and where features are noted as beta, pilot, or developer preview, we can’t guarantee general availability within any particular time frame or at all. Make your purchase decisions only on the basis of generally available products and features.

Deploy Apex Using Metadata API

Use Metadata API to deploy customization information, such as custom object definitions for your org.

To deploy custom metadata, use the Metadata.Operations.enqueueDeployment() method to asynchronously deploy metadata to the current org. For more information, see Operations Class.

If a single deployment has over 2,000 Apex classes, ApexCodeCoverage objects for the deployed classes are deleted even if the deployment fails or is rolled back. ApexCodeCoverageAggregate objects aren’t affected.
