Sandbox Management
Deploy, manage data imports, and monitor your SFCC sandbox
Intellij SFCC provides a comprehensive sandbox management panel that lets you perform common Business Manager operations directly from your IDE.
Code Deployment
Active Code Version
View and switch between code versions on your sandbox:
Open Sandbox Panel
Go to View → Tool Windows → Intellij SFCC Sandbox.
View Code Versions
See all available code versions with their activation status.
Activate a Version
Right-click on a code version and select Activate to make it the active version.
Activating a code version will immediately affect your sandbox. Make sure the version contains all the code your site needs.
Bulk Upload
Upload your entire project to the sandbox:
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
| Upload All | Upload all cartridges in the project |
| Upload Selected | Upload only selected cartridges |
| Clean & Upload | Delete remote code version content, then upload |
| Incremental | Upload only changed files since last upload |
Data Management
Import / Export
Trigger site import and export operations:
Upload and import XML data files:
- Site data (catalogs, content, preferences)
- Customer data
- Inventory data
- Price books
The plugin uploads the archive to the IMPEX/src/instance directory and triggers the import job.
Export site data to XML:
- Select the export units
- Choose the export directory
- Download the exported archive to your local machine
Sandbox Information
The sandbox panel displays:
- Sandbox version - current SFCC platform version
- Active code version - which code version is running
- Site list - all configured sites
- Job status - running and recently completed jobs
- Disk usage - code and IMPEX storage usage
All sandbox operations use your configured credentials and respect Business Manager permissions.
