Create On-Demand Sandboxes for B2C Commerce

To develop and test B2C Commerce instances, use on-demand sandboxes (ODS).

To create an on-demand sandbox, log in to Account Manager, and make sure you have the role Sandbox_API_User with a tenant filter in the format <realm_id>_sbx. For example, in the realm abcd, you see the Sandbox_API_User role with tenant filter abcd_sbx.
  1. Log in to Control Center.
  2. Select the realm where you want to add the ODS.
  3. Click Create on-demand sandbox.
  4. Complete the ODS Provisioning Request form.
    • Set the number of hours for the sandbox.
      • 0 (infinite time)
      • 24
      • 48
    • (Optional) To activate automatic start and stop actions, set Auto Schedule to true. You can set the automatic actions to a dedicated time via the realm configuration API.
    • Set the resource allocation for the sandbox.
      • Medium (default)
      • Large
      • X-Large
      • XX-Large

        Setting the allocation to a large value consumes more credits.
    • Click Create sandbox. As the sandbox builds, the Control Center instance page shows the status as the sandbox builds (new, creating, starting, and system up and running).
