  • 1.  Template Snapshot using CLI

    Posted 08-12-2019 04:35:00 AM
    ​Hi All

    Need your help in setting up below using Delphix CLI

    Requirement : Create daily snapshot of Template VDB based on varying time stamp as a input so that container can be refreshed.

    For example : There is one table in the database which records timestamp value for process in one column and to this timestamp I want to have a snapshot.  The problem is that the time would vary daily by 15-20 mins

    How we do currently in normal Oracle DB :
    1. Take incremental backup at fixed time and then recover the database to point in time using archive log

    Thanks in advance!

    regards
    Kapil

    Hi Kapil,

    If I understand correctly, you want to refresh a Self Service container from template to the particular point in time, is that correct ? 
    This is possible but you have to make sure that your template database is configured in archive log ( if this is a VDB ) or with LogSync if this is a dSource.

    If you can download an additional software, I would recommend to use a set of scripts provided by dxtoolkit (https://github.com/delphix/dxtoolkit/releases).
    There is a command which allow you to restore your container database to point in time from template database.

    dx_ctl_js_container -d <de name> -action restore -template_name <template name>-container_name <cont name> -timestamp "2017-04-15 12:00:00" -fromtemplate


    regards,
    Marcin

    Hi Marcin

    Thanks for your quick response. Unfortunately we are having very controlled environment and wont be able to download additional software.
    Is there any other way to accomplish it ​?

    Actually I am looking for creating 3 Snaps daily ( all 3 would be at different timing ) and then this snaps would be used to refresh 30 more database(s) with 1:10 ratio

    Thanks

    Hi,

    So you want to take a snapshot of dSource/VDB which is a parent database of your container at the particular time 
    or you want to restore a container VDB to a particular point in time ? 

    regards,
    Marcin
