Sample configure clone hook for SQL server

How the configure clone hook works

The Delphix Engine executes the Configure clone hook after the initial provisioning of a virtual database (VDB) and after each refresh of that VDB. However, during refresh operations, the Configure clone hook runs before the Post-refresh hook.

Because it executes after the Delphix Engine brings fresh data from the dSource into the VDB, the Configure Clone hook is an ideal place for data masking and other obfuscation and reconfiguration operations to occur.

The Windows PowerShell script (shown below) is intended to demonstrate how to call the HTTP interface of the Delphix DmSuite v4.7.3 from a Configure Clone hook.
