Class Name: UpdateWebCartBatch

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

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

Business Purpose

This batch class anonymizes WebCart billing address information for accounts marked as anonymized, supporting data privacy compliance while maintaining e-commerce functionality and tax calculation capabilities.

Class Overview

Scope and Sharing

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

Key Responsibilities

  • Identify WebCart records linked to anonymized accounts
  • Replace billing address fields with anonymized data
  • Preserve postal code for tax calculations
  • Mark processed records with Anonymized__c flag

Public Methods

start

public Database.QueryLocator start(Database.BatchableContext bc)
Purpose: Identifies WebCarts needing anonymization. Business Logic: Queries up to 50,000 anonymized accounts, excludes accounts with inactive users (NOTE: line 9 has logic issue), returns WebCarts where Anonymized__c = false

execute

public void execute(Database.BatchableContext bc, List<WebCart> scope)
Purpose: Anonymizes billing address data. Business Logic: Sets BillingCity, BillingStreet = account.LastName; BillingPostalCode = account.PersonMailingPostalCode; Anonymized__c = true

finish

public void finish(Database.BatchableContext bc)
Purpose: Outputs completion debug message.

Dependencies

Salesforce Objects

  • WebCart: Records being anonymized (BillingCity, BillingStreet, BillingPostalCode, AccountId, Anonymized__c)
  • Account: Parent accounts (Anonymized__c, LastName, PersonMailingPostalCode, PersonContactId)
  • User: Active user filtering (ContactId, isActive)

Governor Limits Considerations

SOQL Queries: 3 (accounts, web carts, account details in execute) DML Operations: 1 per execute batch Bulkification: Yes - processes up to 200 records per execute

Error Handling

Strategy: Database.update(allOrNone: false) allows partial success Logging: No debug statements (clean implementation) Missing: No try-catch, no error logging, no notifications

Security Considerations

Sharing Rules: Enforces sharing (with sharing) Field-Level Security: Not enforced CRUD Permissions: Not enforced Data Privacy: Irreversible anonymization - backups critical

Test Class

Test Class: UpdateWebCartBatchTest.cls

Pre-Go-Live Concerns

CRITICAL - Fix Before Go-Live

  • LOGIC BUG: Line 9 uses "isActive = false" which filters out INACTIVE users (should be "isActive = true")
  • NO ERROR HANDLING: Missing try-catch and error logging
  • IRREVERSIBLE: No rollback mechanism - ensure backups exist
  • TAX IMPLICATIONS: Verify postal code preservation is sufficient for tax compliance

HIGH - Address Soon After Go-Live

  • Add comprehensive error handling and logging
  • Add email notifications for batch completion/failure
  • Implement retry mechanism for failed updates
  • Verify impact on checkout and tax calculation
  • Review with tax compliance team

MEDIUM - Future Enhancement

  • Make anonymization patterns configurable (Custom Metadata)
  • Add audit trail tracking
  • Make LIMIT 50000 configurable

LOW - Monitor

  • Monitor batch execution time
  • Track failed record updates
  • Review impact on commerce and checkout flows

Maintenance Notes

Complexity: Medium Recommended Review Schedule: Quarterly Key Maintainer Notes: - Part of larger anonymization framework - Active user filter logic on line 9 is inverted (critical bug) - Preserves postal code for tax calculations - coordinate with tax team - Variable naming is clean (uses 'cpa' appropriately for cart records) - Test impact on e-commerce checkout and billing - Backup WebCart records before running - Schedule during off-peak hours
