Going Live

This page summarizes the steps required to migrate from sandbox to production environment.

Once the integration effort is completed and end-to-end tests are carried out successfully in sandbox, the migration to production environment and the checks for going live are cleared. It is time to make real world connections and transactions.

Here are the steps for going live:

  • Whitelist IP addresses of the servers that are to call VaultN API.
  • Update the API URL for production environment.
  • Set up API authentication for live environment, just as it was done in sandbox, as described here.
    • You will need to generate a new certificate and use it to create an authentication token specifically for the production environment. After this, there will be two separate tokens, one for the sandbox and another for production. Please note that these tokens are not interchangeable.
  • Make connections on VaultN network in production environment.
    • In sandbox your vault is connected to demo accounts that provide catalogs and price lists. In production though, you might not have an active connection to a partner immediately, or a partner may not have shared their catalog yet. Both could be confirmed in the UI. This could result in empty responses initially. If this occurs, it is resolved once a partner activates catalog sharing with you.
