This Knowledge Base Article provides an overview of the sandboxes commonly used in Sparkrock 365 for testing new releases and reproducing issues. It explains the purpose and setup requirements of two main sandboxes:

  1. PTS Sandbox: If the sandbox is named PTS, an automatic creation of a mySparkrock instance occurs. However, it is necessary to configure the mySparkrock Solution Setup page to establish a connection with the new sandbox. The PTS sandbox is primarily used for validating and testing changes before deployment to other environments.

  2. UAT Sandbox: The UAT (User Acceptance Testing) sandbox is automatically updated to a newer release, allowing users to thoroughly test changes and enhancements before applying them to the Production instance. The UAT sandbox is crucial for validating functionality and identifying any potential issues or compatibility concerns.

Mysparrock setup for the PTS or UAT sandboxes

Once the sandbox is up and running, just go to mySparkrock Solution Setup page, and add -pts or -uat after the current acronym:

e.g.

Original mySparkrock URL:  https://customer.mysparkrock.com/

PTS mySparkrock URL:  https://customer-pts.mysparkrock.com/

UAT mySparkrock URL:  https://customer-uat.mysparkrock.com/

 

It is important to leverage these sandboxes to ensure a smooth transition and minimize disruptions during updates and releases in Sparkrock 365.
