Delphix Toolkits (dxToolkit and dxmToolkit)

Until recently I was using an older (c. 2016) dxToolkit, but since upgrading my engines to 6.0.9 I decided to try the most recent Windows dxToolkit posted to the github.

Now for the first time, there is a prompt for a config file, so I seem to be missing some context from the commands.

I want to take a snapshot of all SQL VDBs in a single dataset group using the CLI only.  Am I missing something from the command or must we use a config file now? (I don't want to save my credentials in a flat file)

C:\Users\xxxx\Documents\dxtoolkit2>dx_snapshot_db.exe -d us-dlx-004 -group US-
SQL-012
Can't load config file C:/Users/xxxx/Documents/dxtoolkit2/dxtools.conf : No such
file or directory at C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\par-61646173\cache-b96286
9b006bc53eb3f769c7ae52fa114d6f7c17\inc\lib/Engine.pm line 129.

Thanks

EDIT: I've tried adding -host US-SQL-012, with the same result

Hi Adam,

Seems you don't have the config file on the new folder install, you have three options :

- Copy the file from the oldest version directory to the new one
or
- Create a new config file using :
dx_config -convert todxconf -text hostname,192.168.1.100,443,username,password,N,https -configfile dxtools.conf
or
- Copy/adapte the template file from github https://github.com/delphix/dxtoolkit/blob/master/bin/dxtools.conf.example

Best,

Mouhssine

Hi Mouhssine,

Ah I think I've got it. I didn't think I was using a config file, thought my credentials were passing through with the commands. I checked the old folder and I see the prior admin has a config file there.

Thanks!
Adam

Hi Adam,

There is an option to encrypt the password in the configuration file so that it is not stored in plain text too:
