Applies to: Partner Center | Partner Center operated by 21Vianet

This article shows you how to delete Sandbox Indirect Providers and enable end-to-end testing using APIs.

Important

This document describes features that are only allowed in the Sandbox environment for Indirect Model experiences.

Prerequisites

You must have the credentials as described in Partner Center Authentication. This scenario supports authentication with App+User credentials.

Delete Sandbox Indirect Reseller

This feature is only available in the Sandbox and gives Sandbox Indirect Providers an ability to create Sandbox Indirect Resellers.

Before you can delete a Sandbox Indirect Reseller:

  • Suspend the subscriptions for each customer of the Sandbox Indirect Reseller.
  • Delete all customers of the Indirect Reseller.

There's a limit of five Sandbox Indirect Resellers allowed per Sandbox Indirect Provider. Once the Sandbox Indirect Reseller is deleted, the quota is reset.

Delete Sandbox Indirect Reseller through API

REST request

This syntax is the REST request syntax:

Method Request URI
DELETE {baseURL}/v1//sandboxIndirectReseller/{resellerId}

Using the request headers, keep the following facts in mind:

  • This API is idempotent. It doesn't yield a different result if you call it multiple times.
  • A request ID and correlation ID are required.

For more information, see Partner Center REST headers.
