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.

GetUpdatedResult

The getUpdated() call returns a GetUpdatedResult object that contains information about each record that was inserted or updated within the given timespan. An GetUpdatedResult object has the following properties:

Name Type Description
id[] ID Array of IDs of each object that has been updated.
latestDateCovered dateTime The timestamp (Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)—not local— time zone) of the last date covered in the getUpdated() call. If there is a value, it is less than or equal to endDate. A value here indicates that, for safety, you should use this value for the startDate of your next call to capture the changes that started after this date but did not complete before the endDate and were, therefore, not returned in the previous call.

If Salesforce executes a long-running transaction on your instance, the value in this field is the start time of that long-running transaction until it completes. This is because a long-running transaction might affect your user data (for example, batch processing).
