We have a process that requires replicating from one engine to another and need to automate refreshing VDBs on the receiving engine when each replication job completes.  Has anyone done this or have suggestions on approaches?

I suggest controlling the replication jobs via the API then you can trigger a refresh when the job completes.

This way you know when a rep' job is running (because the script started it) and can poll for a successful completion before running the refresh.

Hi,


You have to take a look from the end-to-end approach to choose the solution you will go with.

- You call control all the path from triggering replication to refresh the VDB on receipt (the easy one and you have the full control on all path steps, you can scale/change it as you need)
- The replication process is already automated by delphix cron from admin console or other scheduler utility; In this case you have to use API and check the status of last replication based on the result you decide to refresh the receipt VDB or not.

But i still have one question normally VDB will be used by a dev profile user automating it's refresh can destroy the ongoing job, at least if it's also used as master on the receipt engine

Actually we are trying to to do in this way what you said but we are trying to understand how to call a VDB refresh after the replication job completed with respectively. 

But i still have one question normally VDB will be used by a dev profile user automating it's refresh can destroy the ongoing job, at least if it's also used as master on the receipt engine?
Ans: Actually we created a Master Copy for which no one is going to connect it.. we create the child VDB from that for all our clients. they will use that.
