    Hello Abhinav,

    To determine the input parameters for a force delete operation you can use 'setopt trace=true'.
    For example: (NOTE - this is for an Oracle VDB and not SAP ASE) 

    luke-5370 database 'CLI_VDB' delete *> set
    credential force type username
    luke-5370 database 'CLI_VDB' delete *> set force=
    false true
    luke-5370 database 'CLI_VDB' delete *> set force=true
    luke-5370 database 'CLI_VDB' delete *> setopt trace=true
    luke-5370 database 'CLI_VDB' delete *> commit
    === POST /resources/json/delphix/database/ORACLE_DB_CONTAINER-39/delete ===
    {
    "type": "OracleDeleteParameters",
    "force": true
    }

    If you then wish to use these parameters in your curl statement you can do so as follows:

    curl -s -X POST -k --data @- http://<Engine>/resources/json/delphix/database/ORACLE_DB_CONTAINER-XX/delete \
    -b ~/cookies.txt -c ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" <<EOF
    {
    "type": "OracleDeleteParameters",
    "force": true
    }
    EOF

    Please note, you need to use the VDB reference property (CONTAINER-XX) and not the name (TEST_VDB) so good practice would be to include code in your script to map the name to the reference.
    You will also need to authenticate first.

    I hope this is helpful.

    Hi Luke,

    Yes i am passing container name and running after creating session and authentication, the problem is it is not taking the force option and everytime it is following the normal delete option.
    Below is the syntax which i am using for sybase DB.

    curl -s -X POST -k --data @- http://${DE}/resources/json/delphix/database/${database}/delete \
    -b cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" <<-EOF
    {
    "type": "DeleteParameters",
    "deleteParameters": {
    "type": "DeleteParameters",
    "force": "true"
    }
    }
    EOF

    Also i even tried with but not working, i tried almost all sort of combinations

    {
    "type": "DeleteParameters",
    "force": "true"
    }

    Hello,

    We found that the force parameter is a boolean and should be unquoted like this:
    {
    "type": "DeleteParameters",
    "force": true
    }
