On-Demand Sandboxes
You can create and manage your own sandbox environments as you need them.
- What Is an On-Demand Sandbox?
An on-demand sandbox is a public-cloud-based sandbox. When you use on-demand sandboxes, you can expand your sandbox usage when required and roll back usage during slow periods. - Use On-Demand Sandbox Credits Efficiently
The credit system provides flexibility so you can use the credits that you purchase the way you want. For example, depending on your needs, you can keep just a few sandboxes running for an extended period or create many short-term sandboxes. - Time-to-Live (TTL) for On-Demand Sandboxes
When you create an on-demand sandbox, you can configure an optional Time-to-Live (TTL) value that specifies how many hours the sandbox lasts. For example, if the sandbox has a TTL of 24, the sandbox lasts for 24 hours and then is automatically deleted. - Get Started with On-Demand Sandboxes
To access on-demand sandboxes, you must purchase sandbox credits, set up user roles, configure an API client key, and obtain your realm ID. Then you can provision and manage on-demand sandboxes as a self-service feature using the Sandbox API. - Use the Sandbox API to Manage On-Demand Sandboxes
Use the Sandbox API to create and manage on-demand sandboxes. - Access Business Manager for On-Demand Sandboxes
You access Business Manager for on-demand sandboxes with a unified cluster-agnostic host name, so you don't have to remember the cluster that your sandbox belongs to. - On-Demand Sandbox Maintenance Window
To keep sandbox environments stable and reliable, we reserved two fixed maintenance windows for deployments and maintenance operations that can cause short interruption of operation to On-Demand Sandboxes. - On-Demand Sandbox Storage
On-demand sandbox storage size can vary depending on the resource profile that the sandbox uses. - On-Demand Sandbox Log Files
Log messages for on-demand sandboxes are collected in a dedicated log center at https://logcenter.us01.dx.commercecloud.salesforce.com/ . - Additional On-Demand Sandboxes Resources
We've prepared some resources to help you optimize your experience with On-Demand Sandboxes.
