Operations
A catalogue of org-management operations — access, packages, sandboxes, and tests — each run as a tracked, approvable flow.
codev is repository-first, but orgs still need day-to-day administration — access grants, package installs, sandbox lifecycle, test runs. Manage Orgs > Ops presents these as a catalogue of operations. Operations is instance-wide: it sits outside any single project and acts on the orgs the instance has registered — an operation's form asks for the project where one is relevant. Each operation is created from a card, runs as a flow on the codev server, and lands under Recent Runs.
The catalogue
| Group | Operations |
|---|---|
| Access | Request elevated privilege in production · Freeze users in an environment · Unfreeze frozen users by profile |
| Package | Install an sfp artifact to one or more orgs · Install a managed or unlocked package |
| Environment | Create a Salesforce sandbox · Refresh a sandbox · Delete a sandbox · Sync an org to a branch |
| Test | Run Apex tests on an org, optionally storing the results for dashboards |
The catalogue requires the project's issue tracking integration to be configured — operations are raised and tracked as issues. Workflow Settings turns individual operation flows on or off for the project.
Running an operation
Create on a card opens the operation's form: the project, the target org or environment, and the operation's parameters. Submitting starts the operation in the background; its progress and outcome appear under Recent Runs, filterable by project and category. An operation behind an approval gate waits for the approval before executing — a waiting run shows where under Flows.
The sync operation shows the repository-first model directly: it compares the artifacts installed in an org against a branch and deploys only the changed and new packages — converging the org to the branch. The same capability, approached from the environment side: Syncing environments.
