The On Demand Sandbox Command Center is a GUI tool which usessfcc-ci under the hood. It aims to provide a simple interface for running sfcc-ci commands and provide usability improvements for Managers, Developers and other stakeholders.

We have different ways to manage Salesforce B2C Commerce Cloud's On Demand Sandboxes

1. Swagger API:
2. Control Center (ODS capabilities coming soon)
3. SFCC-CI commands

While all of these provides functionality to run operations on ODS(among other things), they don't provide an interface to Monitor, Analyse and Control ODS in a single, easy to use interface.

ODS Command Center is built on React + Node.js, leverages SFCC-CI Javascript API and can be easily deployed on cloud servers.

• Check Prerequisites in SFCC-CI repo to setup your API key and roles. If you still stuck somewhere, I have detailed the steps in this Medium post, please check that.
• Clone or download this repository
• (Optional) Create a dw.json file(or copy sample file from docs/dw.json) and put it in server folder, so that we have server/dw.json.
  • Update dw.json with your API and User credentials.
  • If you are not familiar with the format, please follow above links for this.
• Copy docs/database.sqlite3 file and put it in server/ folder.
• Create client/.env file using .env.example file in respective folder, update environment variables.

• We would require NPM to be available on local system, recommended Node version is 12.19.0. If you don't have it already installed check installation instruction for NVM(recommended, so that you can easilt manage multiple node versions) or install Node.js through official site
• Go to <project_root_folder> and run npm run build, after build process is complete run npm start command.
• goto localhost:3009 in your web browser.
• Login using your preferred method.

You can easily set this up on Heroku or your preferred hosting solution, so that other users can also perform operation, view usage statistics and get notified about relevant information.

• Complete the prerequisities.
• Update client/.env with Production details.
• Upload to server
• To deploy on Heroku, follow the official guide.
