"May 17th 2022 : Backup metadata for all objects related to a dSource "

[carloscuellar87d]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
We have a customer asking for a way of backing up all Delphix objects/configurations metadata linked to a dSource

Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe something like a new binary called dx_dsource_backup where we specify the engine, group, dsource and it could export all the metadata information related to that dsource like dataset group, environments(staging environments for mssql, sybase and all the ones that need a staging target) and its child vdbs(along with their environments).

Describe alternatives you've considered
We could use current binaries at this time + API calls in a script that could work like a wrapper to achieve this functionality.

Hello,

Forgot to mention that we would like to have as output same dxtoolkit commands to recreate all those objects.

Thanks and regards.

Hi,

Did you check this - https://github.com/delphix/dxtoolkit/wiki/Backup-and-Restore-Delphix-Engine-metadata
The above procedure is generating scripts with dxtoolkit command to recreate all objects.

Hello,

Yes, i had a look but customer is asking to have a way of backing up on a dsource basis.

We could have a wrapper on top of it but wanted to check with you how complicated do you think it would be to add something to dxtoolkit.

Thanks in advance and regards.
