Delphix objects

These topics describe the object model for the Delphix Engine command-line interface.

The Delphix object model is a flexible system for describing arbitrary hierarchies and relationships of objects. In order to enable the current and future functionality of the system, the relationship between objects is not always immediately obvious. The CLI is merely a veneer atop the web services layer to ensure that the full complement of functionality expressed by the API is always available, but this requires users to have some understanding of how objects are represented in the system.

This section covers the following topics:

• Object type hierarchy

• Object names and references

• Databases and environments

• Asynchronous jobs
