Using API calls, how do I set VDB snapshot policy to NONE when provisioning?

  • 1.  Using API calls, how do I set VDB snapshot policy to NONE when provisioning?

    The engine GUI allows the suser to set the VDB snapshot policy to None.  Which API call(s)  allow to do that when provisioning a VDB from a dSource or from another VDB?

    Hello Pierre,

    The provisioning API does not include a parameter to set the VDB snapshot policy.  The GUI first calls the provision API then immediately calls the policy API to set the snapshot policy to the selected value, i.e.

    #
    http://172.16.160.195/resources/json/delphix/policy/POLICY_SNAPSHOT-2/apply
    {"target":"ORACLE_DB_CONTAINER-2","type":"PolicyApplyTargetParameters"}

    Where the "POLICY_SNAPSHOT-2" reference is the "None: SnapshotPolicy" and the
    "ORACLE_DB_CONTAINER-2" is the VDB database reference.  

    HTH
