Beta Environment beta-environment
The beta environment is for testing Audience Manager implementations. Changes made in beta do not affect production data. The Audience Manager beta environment is a smaller-scale, standalone version of the production environment. All the data that you want to test must be entered and collected in this environment.

Provision Amazon S3 Buckets provision-s3-buckets
NOTE
We are moving away from using FTP/SFTP. Also, please note that outbound data transfers do not work for the beta environment.
To provision S3 buckets for inbound data:
- Use the SKMS Request TechOps Help feature.
- Go to Request TechOps Help in the left navigation rail.
- In Request Search, type in Audience Manager in the search field.
- Scroll down in the search results and click into Audience Manager - S3 Inbound / Outbound Account Provisioning.
- Fill in the fields in the provisioning window and specify Sandbox environment in the Environment field.
NOTE
We discourage the use of FTP/SFTP and encourage the use of Amazon S3. The reasons why we encourage the use of Amazon S3 are listed in Amazon S3:About.
Access the DCS in the Beta Environment access-dcs-beta-environment
To access the DCS in the beta environment:
-
Make a DCS call, using the curl command. Curl is a tool to transfer data from or to a server, using one of many supported protocols.
For example:
curl -v https://dcs-beta.demdex.net/event
-
Verify that your request was served by the beta DCS by looking for “sandbox” in the DCS response header.
For example:
code language-none curl -v http://dcs-beta.demdex.net/?event [...] < DCS: va6-sandbox-dcs-3.sandbox.demdex.com <release_number> [...]
