Enabling Sandboxes

To enable sandboxes:

1. When you create an application, a block storage cube is created, which you can enable for sandboxes by selecting the Sandboxes option. You can also enable sandboxes when you create custom block storage cubes by selecting Enable Sandboxes.

   You can enable sandboxes only in Standard applications and for custom cubes created in Enterprise applications, not for Reporting applications. After you enable sandboxes for a cube, you can’t later disable that option. If you enable sandboxes for a cube, Version members have the Enable Sandboxes option.

2. Create and enable Version members for sandboxes, as described in Enabling Version Members.
3. If needed, modify member formulas so that they calculate correctly in both base view and sandbox view.

   Member formulas may be impacted by the new HSP_View dimension. To ensure that member formulas use the correct data for all versions, they must reference "ConsolidatedData"/Sandbox.

   See:

   • The topics in How Sandboxes Work with HSP_View and Version Members

   • Working with Member Formulas

   Note:

   In Data Maps, all data mapping occurs at the HSP_View BaseData intersection. The base view is selected by default.

4. Design or modify forms that you want to support sandboxes so that either:

   • The Version dimension is on the Page axis.

   • The Version dimension is a POV that has a user variable.

     Note:

     • Forms that don't meet one of the above conditions do not display sandbox options.

     • In a sandbox, the HSP_View member is fixed on the POV and can't be changed.

     • The only business rules that users can run in a sandbox are the default Calculate Form and Calculate Currencies rules.

     • You can't import or export when you're in the sandbox view.
