Code Generator
To access Platform APIs from external computer systems, customers often need to write computer code that uses Object names, Field names, and some other customer-specific parameters. Writing such code can be a tedious and error-prone task, since it might require many copy-and-paste operations.
To simplify this task, Platform provides a Code Generator, available from the Application Setup page. The Code Generator parses and fetches a text template that uses the metadata tokens described below.
| Template Token | Description |
|---|---|
{!#SYSTEM_NAME}
|
Name of the Platform installation |
{!#HOST_NAME}
|
Host name used by the Platform installation |
{!#CURR_CUSTM.name}
|
Customer name |
{!#CURR_CUSTM.id}
|
Customer ID |
{!#CLASS_NAME}

{!#object.name}
|
Integration name of an Object in a loop. |
{!#object.display}
