Share packages across organizations using Sandbox Tooling

Improve configuration accuracy across sandboxes and seamlessly export and import sandbox configurations between sandboxes across different organizations with the sandbox tooling feature. This document covers how to use sandbox tooling in Adobe Experience Platform to share packages across different organizations. There are two types of shared packages:

Private packages can only be shared with organizations that have approved the sharing request from the source organization.

Public packages are available to import without any additional approval. These packages can be shared on a partner’s website, blog, or platform. The package payload allows packages to be copied and pasted from these channels to the target organization.

Private packages private-packages

Use the Sandbox Tooling feature to create partnerships, track partnership request stats, manage existing partnerships, and share packages with partner organizations.

Create an organization partnership request

To create an organization partnership request, navigate to the Sandboxes Partner orgs tab. Next, select Manage partner orgs.

In the Package partner management dialog, enter the organization ID into Enter Org ID and press enter (Windows) or return (Mac). The organization ID is shown in the Selected Org IDs section below. After adding the IDs, select Confirm.

The sharing request is successfully sent to the partner organization, and you are returned to the Sandboxes Partner orgs tab, which displays the Outgoing request.

Authorize a partnership request authorize-request

To authorize an organization partnership request, navigate to the Sandboxes Partner orgs tab. Next, select Incoming request.

The current Status for the request, at this stage, is Pending. To approve the request, select the ellipsis (...) next to the selected request, then select Approve from the dropdown.

The Review partner org request dialog displays details about the organization partnership request. Enter a Reason for approval, then select Approve.

You are returned to the Incoming request page, and the request’s status has been updated to Approved.

Use this workflow/process to share packages between your organization and the source organization.
