  • 1.  Manual Snapshot using web-api call

    Manual Snapshot using web-api call. I am trying to automate the end-2-end vdb provision using WebApi. I am currently stuck at building curl api for Oracle snaphost creation. Can anyone help?

    Hi Shilpa,

    first of all, you have to create a session with the server and authenticate with it. All information about session is stored in a cookie file. You'll find an example here:
    https://docs.delphix.com/display/DOCS50/API+Cookbook%3A+Authentication

    Second you have to use the sync api to make a snapshot:
    POST /resources/json/delphix/database/{YOUR_DB_CONTAINER_REFERENCE}/sync
    {
        "type": "OracleSyncParameters"
    }

    In order to know your db container reference, you could get the database list:
    GET /resources/json/delphix/database

    You can get all api doc into your browser:
    http(s)://[engine_ip]/api
