We are excited to announce we will be updating the hardware and EHR instance supporting our public sandbox environment on Monday August 17th, . As part of this upgrade our public sandbox environment will transition to a new Millennium domain which more closely aligns with Cerner’s recommended Model build and is on a more relevant code-level to present day general availability.
Migration Information
Because we are moving to a new Cerner Millennium domain, we need to move registered applications from the current public sandbox environment to the new environment.
On Monday August 17th, around 11 a.m. central time, we will disable the ability to register new applications to access our current public sandbox environment. The code console will then be updated to interact with the new public sandbox environment.
We will migrate developers’ applications in their current state on Friday August 14th around 1 p.m. central time. Application details from the current sandbox environment will still be available to reference at a URL provided after the migration.
We are currently in the process of migrating system accounts for applications using system access or patient offline access. This may take several weeks so please have patience as your system accounts are migrated.
You can determine if your system account has been migrated by accessing https://cernercentral.com/system-accounts. You will receive an email from nor...@cernercentral.com about a “System Account Administrator Invitation” inviting you to become an administrator for the migrated system account. Please accept the invitation to continue your administrator access to the system account and retrieve the new secret. We recommend you add additional administrators to the account to avoid a single person having control of your system’s credentials.
If you own an application deployed to a Millennium production environment you will see your application is in a read-only state which prevents editing or deleting of your application. Please reach out to us if you need to make additional changes to your application (see below for communication channels).
New Public Sandbox Environment Details
All service root URLs require your application support TLS SNI [1] and the fhir-ehr-code.cerner.com URLs will no longer support TLS 1.1 or below.
If your application is launched using the SMART app launch framework, please use this opportunity to ensure your application uses the provided information on launch. The issuer parameter is provided on launch to query the metadata endpoint to discover the OAuth authorize and token endpoint URLs so your application should be able to seamlessly create tokens for the new public sandbox. In addition, if there is a patient in-context, it will be provided in the token response. If the application follows the “iss” parameter, this transition should be relatively easy (the application may need to update an allow list if used to determine trust of FHIR servers).
Documentation on https://fhir.cerner.com will be updated to reflect reference the new sandbox environment on August 17th. Additionally, test patient information will be provided as well as a document highlighting which patients in the new domain match previous test patients.
Please reach out to us if you have any additional questions.

Hi,
We have updated our documentation on fhir.cerner.com to point to our new public sandbox environment. We have published new documentation regarding test patients. You can find this document here, and under the "Helpful Links" section in the Welcome message for this Google Group. We also have a compiled a document to assist you in locating a replacement for patients of the previous sandbox. This document can be found here.
You can also now access the open endpoints for our new public sandbox. The new open endpoint service root URLs for DSTU2 and R4 are located at:
We have also updated the code Console to point to our new public sandbox. To assist you with this transition, you can still access the old code Console by visiting https://code.cerner.com/v1/developer/smart-on-fhir/apps
Thank you.

Hi,
Please be aware, we will be disabling access to our open endpoint for the old public sandbox environment today. We will also disable the ability to edit and delete apps in the old public sandbox environment via the alternative URL.
We will update this announcement when both changes have been made.
Thank you for your cooperation.
