When we create a sandbox for a customer, we create a snapshot of the customer's time cockpit database. It lets you run your untested customizations in a separate environment. It is often used to execute untested code, or untrusted programs from unverified third parties, suppliers, untrusted users and untrusted websites."īasically, this is also what a time cockpit sandbox is.

Wikipedia defines a sandbox as the following: It safes you from negatively influencing your production time cockpit during the development of your customizations. In a sandbox you can try out your customizations before deploying them to the actual production system.

  • You do not want to somehow affect your data in the production system, because your employees rely on the data.
  • Imagine that you implement your own data import from an upstream system and you want to test various data transformations during the import.
  • In the following we describe some use cases where a sandbox would mitigate the risk of harming your time cockpit production system: Do you have customized time cockpit or plan to customize it? If yes, you should continue reading, because in this article we show you how you can get your own, private time cockpit test system where you can play around with things without influencing your time cockpit production environment.Ī time cockpit test system (we call it a sandbox) lets you test and play with your customizations before you transfer them to your production time cockpit.
