  • 1.  Can i configure Python scripts in hook

    We have a need to identify schema changes of VDB. So, automated code in python to extract and compare metadata, before and after refresh.

    Can these python scripts be configured as hook in VDB?

    Santosh,

    Yes.  Hooks on UNIX/Linux environments run in bash and hooks on Windows environment run in powershell.

    Either way, you can start a python script as you would normally in either of those shells (i.e. "python script-name.py", etc).

    The trick is likely exiting from shell with the exit status from the script, so follow the call to the python script with "exit $?" in bash and perhaps "exit $LastExitCode" or "exit $?" in powershell.

    Hope this helps?
