CLI cookbook: creating a policy

This will outline how to create a policy in the CLI, please note that you can also do this in the GUI.

Procedure

1. ssh into your Delphix Engine using admin credentials.

   CODE

   ssh admin@delphixenginedelphix > ls

2. Go to policies and createAndApply (please note that you cannot just create a policy, you must createAndApply, in the GUI you have the option to just create) and set your policy parameter.

   CODE

   delphix > policydelphix policy > createAndApplydelphix policy createAndApply *> set policy.type=< choose from QuotaPolicy, RefreshPolicy, RetentionPolicy, SnapshotPolicy or SyncPolicy)delphix policy createAndApply *> set policy.name=< name your policy>delphix policy createAndApply *> set policy.customized=truedelphix policy createAndApply *> set policy.delphix policy createAndApply *> set policy.provisionSource=(LATEST_SNAPSHOT or LATEST_TIME_FLOW_LOG)

Info:
If doing a RefreshPolicy, SyncPolicy or SnapshotPolicy you are also going to need to add the following:

delphix policy createAndApply *> edit policy.scheduleListdelphix policy createAndApply policy.scheduleList * > adddelphix policy createAndApply policy.scheduleList * > set cronString=delphix policy createAndApply policy.scheduleList * > set cutoffTime=delphix policy createAndApply policy.scheduleList * > back

3. Set your target parameters which are going to be a container, group etc.

   CODE

   delphix policy createAndApply *> set target=

4. Verify and commit. 

   CODE

   delphix policy createAndApply *> lsdelphix policy createAndApply *> commit
