Sandbox
A sandbox is a personal work area for designing and developing a service model. You can make changes to objects and their relationships, and save these changes between work sessions, without affecting the production environment until you are ready to move the changes into the production dataset.
BMC Impact Model Designer users have their own unique, dedicated sandbox, and sandboxes persist between user sessions, allowing you to make multiple edits to the sandbox model until you promote the changes to the production dataset. Each user has one sandbox associated with the user account. Changes to your sandbox do not affect sandboxes of other users if those changes are not promoted.
Note
When multiple users have the same data (components, impact relationships, or management data instances) in their sandbox, only the values from the sandbox that was promoted last will be in the production dataset.
Dataset
The production dataset is the reference dataset, or logical partition of data, in the BMC Atrium CMDB, shared by service model applications. Objects contained in the production dataset are components, relationships, and management data.
When working with objects in a sandbox, users make changes to an overlay dataset, a dataset which is related to and masks the production dataset. The overlay dataset provides a view of the underlying production dataset masked by changes made by the user in the overlay dataset.
