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.

DuplicateError Class

Contains information about an error that occurred when an attempt was made to save a duplicate record. Use if your organization has set up duplicate rules, which are part of the Duplicate Management feature.

Namespace

Database

Example

When you try to save a record that’s identified as a duplicate record by a duplicate rule, you’ll receive a duplicate error. If the duplicate rule contains the Allow action, an attempt will be made to bypass the error. 
1// Try to save a duplicate account
2Account duplicateAccount = new Account(Name='Acme',  BillingCity='San Francisco');
3Database.SaveResult sr = Database.insert(duplicateAccount, false);
4if (!sr.isSuccess()) {
5	
6	// Insertion failed due to duplicate detected
7	for(Database.Error duplicateError : sr.getErrors()){
8		Datacloud.DuplicateResult duplicateResult = 
9                  ((Database.DuplicateError)duplicateError).getDuplicateResult();
10		System.debug('Duplicate records have been detected by ' + 
11                  duplicateResult.getDuplicateRule());
12		System.debug(duplicateResult.getErrorMessage());
13	}
14
15	// If the duplicate rule is an alert rule, we can try to bypass it
16	Database.DMLOptions dml = new Database.DMLOptions(); 
17	dml.DuplicateRuleHeader.AllowSave = true;
18	Database.SaveResult sr2 = Database.insert(duplicateAccount, dml);
19	if (sr2.isSuccess()) {
20		System.debug('Duplicate account has been inserted in Salesforce!');
21	}
22}
