CLI Cookbook: Creating a Policy

This will outline how to create a policy in the CLI, please not that you can also do this in the GUI

Procedure

1. ssh into your Delphix Engine using delphix_admin credentials 

   ssh delphix_admin@delphixengine
   delphix > 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

   delphix > policy
   delphix policy > createAndApply
   delphix 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=true
   delphix policy createAndApply *> set policy.
   delphix policy createAndApply *> set policy.provisionSource=(LATEST_SNAPSHOT or LATEST_TIME_FLOW_LOG)

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

   delphix policy createAndApply *> edit policy.scheduleList
   delphix policy createAndApply policy.scheduleList * > add
   delphix 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 

   delphix policy createAndApply *> set target=

4. Verify and commit 

   delphix policy createAndApply *> ls
   delphix policy createAndApply *> commit
