    Hi Ahmad,

    Just to ensure I'm getting the need correctly.

    You are looking for an API call to stop / start masking app not full masking engine VM ?

    Best,

    Mouhssine

    Hi Ahmed,

    I did anticipate and providing you with a script automating (reboot of the engine, stop masking app, start masking app)

    You can the script passing the action to take as a parameter like reboot in this example

    reboot_engine.sh reboot


    Best,

    #!/bin/bash
#
# sample script to start or stop a VDB.
#
# set this to the FQDN or IP address of the Delphix Engine
DE="192.168.203.3"
# set this to the Delphix admin user name
DELPHIX_ADMIN="sysadmin"
# set this to the password for the Delphix admin user
DELPHIX_PASS="delphix"
# set this to the object reference for the VDB
#

auth()
{
#
# create our session
curl -s -X POST -k --data @- http://${DE}/resources/json/delphix/session \
   -c ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" <<EOF
{
   "type": "APISession",
   "version": {
       "type": "APIVersion",
       "major": 1,
       "minor": 4,
       "micro": 3
   }
}
EOF

echo

#
# authenticate to the DE
curl -s -X POST -k --data @- http://${DE}/resources/json/delphix/login \
   -b ~/cookies.txt -c ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" <<EOF
{
   "type": "LoginRequest",
   "username": "${DELPHIX_ADMIN}",
   "password": "${DELPHIX_PASS}"
}
EOF

echo
}

reboot()
{
#
# reboot engine
curl -s -X POST -k --data @- http://${DE}/resources/json/delphix/system/reboot \
    -b ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" <<EOF
{
}
EOF
echo
}


stop_masking()
{
curl -s -X POST -k --data @- http://${DE}/resources/json/delphix/system/stopMasking \
    -b ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" <<EOF
{
}
EOF
echo
}


start_masking()
{
curl -s -X POST -k --data @- http://${DE}/resources/json/delphix/system/startMasking \
    -b ~/cookies.txt -H "Content-Type: application/json" <<EOF
{
}
EOF
echo
}



case $1 in
        reboot)
                echo "Reboot the engine ${DE}"
                auth
                reboot
                ;;
        start)
                echo "Start masking stack on ${DE}"
                auth
                start_masking
                #break
                ;;
        stop)
                echo "Stop masking stack on ${DE}"
                auth
                stop_masking
                #break
                ;;
        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 <reboot | start | stop>" 
                exit 1
                ;;
  esac

    Hello Parvez,
    which "key" did you change ? There are two types of keys:

    System Key > only for some internal processes, this key might (?) need an engine restart.
    Algorithm Security Key > every algorithm instance has a key that can be changed via API, this does clearly not need an engine restart.
