Prerequisite for ScratchOrg Pooling

Deploy the following metadata additions to standard object "ScratchOrgInfo" which includes custom fields, a validation rule, and a workflow to a DevHub as pre-requisites to enable the associated scratch org pool commands to work.

Note: The sfpower-scratchorg-pool has been created as an Org-Dependent Unlocked Package instead of an Unlocked Package due to the ScratchOrgInfo Object being only available in Production or Developer Edition Orgs/Trial Orgs that have DevHub enabled.

There are multiple options to install the supporting package to your environment

• Installing the Org-Dependent Unlocked Package to your DevHub from URL

  1. Login to your DevHub
  2. Navigate to https://login.salesforce.com/packaging/installPackage.apexp?p0=04t1P000000katQQAQ to install the **sfpower-scratchorg-pool** unlocked package into your DevHub.
  3. Select **Install for Admin Only**
  

• Installing the Org-Dependent Unlocked Package to your DevHub using CLI

   sfdx force:package:install -p 04t1P000000katQQAQ -u <Devhub> -r -a package -s AdminsOnly -w 30

   2.  cd sfpowerscripts/prerequisites/scratchorgpool
   3.  sfdx force:package:create -n sfpower-scratchorg-pool -t Unlocked -r force-app -v <devhub_alias> --orgdependent
   4.  sfdx force:package:version:create -p sfpower-scratchorg-pool -x -v <devhub_alias> -w 30
   5.  Observe the package id created in sfdx-project.json
   6.  sfdx force:package:install -p <packageVersionId> -u <devhub_alias> -w 30
