Keeping the container alive to perform multiple backup operations

You need not exit the container, if you want to perform more than one backup operation.

To perform a backup operation by running the API Gateway Utility container

1. Run the following command:

docker run -e apigw_elasticsearch_hosts=[host:port] [IMAGE] -i [COMMAND]

where,

-e. Variable to specify the API Data Store or Elasticsearch host and port.

[IMAGE]. API Gateway Image that you created following the steps in the section, Running the API Gateway Utility Container.

-i. Variable to specify the backup command.

[COMMAND]. The required backup command. For information on possible backup operations and the commands to be used with the apigatewayutil utility, see Backup Operation.

For example,

docker run -e apigw_elasticsearch_hosts=daeyaix1bvt01.eur.ad.sag:9240 apigwutil -i list backup

Note:
Ensure that the Elasticsearch port is accessible to run the backup command.
