Bulkify Apex Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest












2















I have an apex class that submits opportunities for approval if they are over a certain threshold. This works great when processing small batches, but when trying to submit larger batches it fails with "Too many DML Statements".



I haven't been able to find anything that says I can process a list of records with the Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest class - so am doing it within a for loop. I tried swapping to a @future class for the Approval, but that has a limit of 50 @future calls as well.



Looking to bulkify this or identify an alternative option.



for(Opportunity o :lstOppty){
String recordtypename = Schema.SObjectType.Opportunity.getRecordTypeInfosById().get(o.recordtypeid).getname();
if(o.BSO_Audit_Flag__c && o.Last_Review_Date__c == null && opptyRTaudit.contains(recordtypename) && Approval.isLocked(o.id) == false){
Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest req = new Approval.ProcessSubmitRequest();
req.setComments('Opportunity was submitted for approval.');
req.setObjectId(o.Id);
try{
Approval.ProcessResult result = Approval.process(req);
System.debug('Submitted for approval successfully: '+result.isSuccess());
}
catch(Exception e) {
System.debug('Submitted for approval failed. This usually means the BSO Alignment or Country on User profile is not set correctly. Error Message: = ' + e.getMessage());
}
}
}
