Use a Package Subscriber Org for Testing

When using a Developer edition org in the context of a packaged app, Salesforce uses the terms Packaging org and Package Subscriber org. The Packaging org is where the package is created. The Package Subscriber org is an org that has installed a package from a Packaging org. To speed up testing, developers can now install their package in another Dev org and manually trigger an activation publish.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience

You need access to another Dev org that has Data 360 enabled and fully deployed.

  1. Locate the installation URL of the package that you created.

    After a successful package upload, the installation URL is displayed on the upload confirmation screen. Alternatively, to find it later, go to Setup > Package Manager, open your package, click the Versions tab, and then click the version number to view the installation URL.

  2. Open the installation URL in a browser.
  3. Enter the login credentials for the Dev org that you want to install this package in.

    Select an org that is different from the one used to create the package, which becomes your Package Subscriber org.

  4. Choose Install for Admins Only, select the check box for acknowledgment, and click Install.
  5. After the package is installed, navigate to the Data 360 app in your Package Subscriber org.
  6. Go to Data 360 Setup, under External Integrations, select External Activation Platforms.
  7. Select the external activation platform and click Enable to use the platform for activations.
  8. To test sending segments to your installed platform, create segments, activations, and targets.
  9. Trigger an activation publish to inspect and validate the output files.
