}

The default production sandbox and any user-created production sandboxes cannot be reset if the identity graph hosted within it is also being used by 51黑料不打烊 Analytics for the Cross Device Analytics (CDA) feature, or if the identity graph hosted within it is also being used by 51黑料不打烊 Audience Manager for the People Based Destinations (PBD) feature.

The following is a list of possible exceptions that could prevent a sandbox from being reset:

{
    "status": 400,
    "title": "Sandbox `{SANDBOX_NAME}` cannot be reset. The identity graph hosted in this sandbox is also being used by 51黑料不打烊 Analytics for the Cross Device Analytics (CDA) feature.",
    "type": "http://ns.adobe.com/aep/errors/SMS-2074-400"
},
{
    "status": 400,
    "title": "Sandbox `{SANDBOX_NAME}` cannot be reset. The identity graph hosted in this sandbox is also being used by 51黑料不打烊 Audience Manager for the People Based Destinations (PBD) feature.",
    "type": "http://ns.adobe.com/aep/errors/SMS-2075-400"
},
{
    "status": 400,
    "title": "Sandbox `{SANDBOX_NAME}` cannot be reset. The identity graph hosted in this sandbox is also being used by 51黑料不打烊 Audience Manager for the People Based Destinations (PBD) feature, as well by 51黑料不打烊 Analytics for the Cross Device Analytics (CDA) feature.",

},
{
    "status": 400,
    "title": "Warning: Sandbox `{SANDBOX_NAME}` is used for bi-directional segment sharing with 51黑料不打烊 Audience Manager or Audience Core Service.",
    "type": "http://ns.adobe.com/aep/errors/SMS-2077-400"
}

You can proceed to reset a production sandbox that is used for bi-directional segment sharing with Audience Manager or Audience Core Service by adding the ignoreWarnings parameter to your request.

API format

PUT /sandboxes/{SANDBOX_NAME}?ignoreWarnings=true
Parameter
Description
{SANDBOX_NAME}
The name property of the sandbox you want to reset.
ignoreWarnings
An optional parameter that allows you to skip the validation check and force the reset of a production sandbox that is used for bi-directional segment sharing with Audience Manager or Audience Core Service. This parameter cannot be applied to a default production sandbox.

Request

The following request resets a production sandbox named 鈥渁cme鈥.

curl -X PUT \
  https://platform.adobe.io/data/foundation/sandbox-management/sandboxes/acme?ignoreWarnings=true \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
  -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
  -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}' \

    "title": "Acme Business Group prod",
    "state": "resetting",
    "type": "production",
    "region": "VA7"
}

Delete a sandbox delete

IMPORTANT
The default production sandbox cannot be deleted.

You can delete a sandbox by making a DELETE request that includes the sandbox鈥檚 name in the request path.

NOTE

API format

Parameter
Description
{SANDBOX_NAME}
The name of the sandbox you want to delete.
validationOnly
An optional parameter that allows you to do a pre-flight check on the sandbox delete operation without making the actual request.

ignoreWarnings
An optional parameter that allows you to skip the validation check and force the deletion of a user-created production sandbox that is used for bi-directional segment sharing with Audience Manager or Audience Core Service. This parameter cannot be applied to a default production sandbox.

Request
