dummy data.......

Hi....

When you first connect to the sandbox is there any dummy accounts or data in there so you can start messing around straight away?

Have no come across it in the documentation yet....

Cheers,

Justin

It should have your production account details, and a snapshot of the production data. Sometimes the data is stale, but the goal is to sync it up with production environment periodically.

Good point about addressing this in the documentation, thanks.

Actually let me take that back.

It is up to you to create the campaigns and orders in the sandbox environment, so first time you log into the sandbox, you will see no data.

We are thinking about alternative designs for the sandbox, and one idea is to have production data replicate to the sandbox, either periodically or on-demand. I'd love to get more feedback about this from the dev community...

Thanks!

Hi Shai,

Thanks for your reply. I would think having some data in the sandbox is a very good idea (well for my purposes anyway! ;)
All I want to do is fetch keyword reports on a daily basis, but as there is nothing in the sandbox I have to spending time creating and adding campaigns etc....just so i can run a dummy report?

It would make far more sense to set each login up with some dummy data so they can begin suing the various functions without having to do work that they will never use in their live scripts....

Cheers,

Justin.

Shai,

I too beleive the idea to have ones sandbox data populated with production data is a great idea!

Thank you,

Thanks for suggesting that, we're thinking about sandbox v.next these days and we'll take that into account.
