Publish Sandboxes

After you're done making changes to the application, publish the sandbox to make your changes available to all users. You must have the Administer Sandbox (FND_ADMINISTER_SANDBOX_PRIV) privilege to publish sandboxes.

Note: Remember, you can't make further changes in the sandbox once you publish it.

Before you start, do these tasks:

• Test or validate your changes in the sandbox in preview mode before actually publishing it. If you made changes using Page Composer, don't forget to close it before testing. To preview your changes, on the sandbox bar before the global header, click Sandbox Mode, and select Preview as if Published (Context: All).

  Note: You can see the sandbox bar only when you're in an active sandbox.

• Resolve all conflicts flagged in the merge log of your sandbox.

To publish a sandbox:

1. Click Navigator > Configuration > Sandboxes.

2. On the Sandboxes page, click the name of the sandbox you want to publish.

3. Click Publish.

   Note: You might not be able to publish your sandbox because of various reasons. For example, you haven't yet made any changes in your sandbox, or the Control Publish Sandbox Action in Production Environment profile option (FND_ALLOW_PUBLISH_SANDBOX) is set to No.

4. Click Continue to Publish. The sandbox is published to the mainline metadata.

5. Click Done.
