Two ways to check duplicates on creation of custom object record

Option 1:

// check duplicates based on particular fields. (Groovy - Webservice)

// In this eg. Based on two custom fields "Month_c" and "Year_c".

String month = getAttribute('Month_c')

String year = getAttribute('Year_c')

String v_FieldToSearchFor02 = "Month_c";

String v_FieldToSearchFor03 = "Year_c";

String v_Conjunction = "And"

String v_Operator = "="
String objectName = "Target_c"

def findCriteria =
[
fetchStart :0,
fetchSize :-1,
excludeAttribute :false,
filter:
[
conjunction :v_Conjunction,
group:
[[
conjunction :v_Conjunction,
upperCaseCompare :true,
item:
[[
conjunction :v_Conjunction,
upperCaseCompare :true,

def data = adf.webServices.Target_c.findEntity(findCriteria, findControl, objectName)

def checkNull = data[0];
if(checkNull != null)
{
throw new oracle.jbo.ValidationException("Record with this month "+v_FieldToSearchFor02 +"and year
"+v_FieldToSearchFor03 +"already Exists");
return false;

}
else{
return true;
}

While creating custom object

1. check the prevent duplicate values checkbox
2. check the prevent "ABC" and "abc" as distinct values checkbox.
