Class Name: UpdateContactPointAddressBatch¶

Last Updated: 2025-10-22 Source Code: UpdateContactPointAddressBatch.cls

API Name: UpdateContactPointAddressBatch Type: Batch Test Coverage: Not specified

Business Purpose¶

This batch class anonymizes ContactPointAddress records for accounts that have been marked as anonymized, supporting GDPR and data privacy compliance. It removes personally identifiable address information while maintaining data structure integrity for system operations.

Class Overview¶

Sharing Model: with sharing
Access Modifier: public
Interfaces Implemented: Database.Batchable, Database.Stateful

Key Responsibilities¶

Identify ContactPointAddress records linked to anonymized accounts without active users
Replace address fields with anonymized placeholder data
Preserve postal code while anonymizing other address components
Mark processed addresses with Anonymized__c flag
Process records in batches for efficient large-scale operations

Public Methods¶

start¶

public Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc)

Purpose: Identifies ContactPointAddress records that need anonymization based on parent account anonymization status.

Parameters: - bc (Database.BatchableContext): Batch context provided by Salesforce

Returns: - Database.QueryLocator: Query locator for ContactPointAddress records to process, or empty query if no eligible accounts found

Business Logic: - Queries up to 50,000 anonymized accounts - Excludes accounts with active users (PersonContactId NOT IN active User.ContactIds) - Returns ContactPointAddresses where Anonymized__c = false and ParentId in account set - Returns empty query locator if no eligible accounts found

execute¶

public void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<ContactPointAddress> scope)

Purpose: Anonymizes address data for the batch of ContactPointAddress records.

Parameters: - bc (Database.BatchableContext): Batch context - scope (List): Batch of ContactPointAddress records to process

Business Logic: - Re-queries related accounts for LastName and PersonMailingPostalCode - Sets Country = null - Sets Name, City, Street = account.LastName (anonymized placeholder) - Sets PostalCode = account.PersonMailingPostalCode - Sets Anonymized__c = true - Updates records with Database.update(allOrNone: false) - Includes debug statements (lines 57, 59)

finish¶

public void finish(Database.BatchableContext bc)

Purpose: Performs cleanup operations after batch completes.

Parameters: - bc (Database.BatchableContext): Batch context

Business Logic: - Outputs debug message: 'Batch processing completed'

Private/Helper Methods¶

This class contains no private methods.

Dependencies¶

Apex Classes¶

None

Salesforce Objects¶

ContactPointAddress: Address records being anonymized (City, Street, PostalCode, Country, Name, ParentId, Anonymized__c)
Account: Parent accounts (Anonymized__c, LastName, PersonMailingPostalCode, PersonContactId)
User: Active users used to filter out accounts (ContactId, isActive)

Custom Settings/Metadata¶

None

External Services¶

None

Design Patterns¶

Batch Pattern: Processes large datasets in manageable chunks
Stateful Pattern: Implements Database.Stateful (though no state variables are used)
Query Locator Pattern: Uses two-step query approach (accounts first, then addresses)

Governor Limits Considerations¶

SOQL Queries: 3 queries total (1 in start for accounts, 1 in start for addresses, 1 in execute for account details) DML Operations: 1 DML per batch execution (max 200 records per execute) CPU Time: Low - simple field assignments Heap Size: Moderate - stores account map and address list in memory

Bulkification: Yes - processes up to 200 addresses per execute Async Processing: Yes - runs asynchronously as batch job

Limits: - LIMIT 50000 on accounts query (hardcoded) - Default batch size (200 records per execute) - Database.update with allOrNone: false (partial success allowed)

Error Handling¶

Strategy: - Database.update with allOrNone: false allows partial success - No explicit try-catch blocks - No error logging or notification

Logging: - Debug statements on lines 57 and 59 (should be removed for production) - finish() method logs completion

User Notifications: - None

Missing: - No error handling for SOQL failures - No logging of failed record updates - No notification mechanism for batch failures

Security Considerations¶

Sharing Rules: Enforces sharing (with sharing) - respects OWD Field-Level Security: Not enforced - direct field access CRUD Permissions: Not enforced - assumes batch has update access Input Validation: Minimal - relies on database constraints

Data Privacy: - Anonymizes PII data for GDPR compliance - Irreversible operation - backups critical

Test Class¶

Test Class: UpdateContactPointAddressBatchTest.cls Coverage: Not specified Test Scenarios Needed: - Accounts with anonymized ContactPointAddresses - Accounts without ContactPointAddresses - Active user filtering logic - Large volume testing (50,000+ accounts) - Partial failure scenarios (allOrNone: false) - Empty result set handling

Changes & History¶

No documented change history available

Pre-Go-Live Concerns¶

CRITICAL - Fix Before Go-Live¶

DEBUG STATEMENTS: Remove System.debug statements on lines 57, 59 before production
NO ERROR HANDLING: Missing try-catch and error logging for failed updates
IRREVERSIBLE OPERATION: No rollback mechanism - ensure backups exist
ACTIVE USER FILTER LOGIC ISSUE: Line 9 uses "isActive = false" which excludes INACTIVE users (should be "isActive = true")

HIGH - Address Soon After Go-Live¶

Add comprehensive error handling with try-catch blocks
Implement logging for failed anonymizations (Custom Object or Platform Events)
Add email notifications for batch completion/failure
Implement retry mechanism for failed updates
Add validation to prevent re-anonymizing already anonymized records
Consider adding AsyncApexJob monitoring

MEDIUM - Future Enhancement¶

Make anonymization patterns configurable (Custom Metadata)
Add audit trail tracking anonymization events
Implement batch chaining for related objects
Make LIMIT 50000 configurable
Add progress tracking and reporting
Consider using Queueable for smaller volumes

LOW - Monitor¶

Monitor batch execution time and heap size
Track number of failed record updates
Review batch size optimization (default 200 may not be optimal)
Monitor impact on system performance during batch execution

Maintenance Notes¶

Complexity: Medium Recommended Review Schedule: Quarterly Key Maintainer Notes: - This batch is part of a larger anonymization framework - coordinate changes with related batches - The 50,000 account limit is hardcoded - may need adjustment based on data volumes - Active user filter may need review - current logic on line 9 seems inverted (isActive = false) - Database.update with allOrNone: false means some records may fail silently - Anonymization logic uses LastName and PersonMailingPostalCode from Account - ensure these fields are populated - Country is set to null (line 48) which may break address validation logic - The two-step query (accounts then addresses) is less efficient but necessary due to relationship complexity - Consider scheduling during off-peak hours due to data updates - Backup ContactPointAddress records before running in production - Test impact on address-dependent features (shipping, billing, geocoding)
