Cloud Foundry CLI stop and start HANA Cloud Database

[former_member6443]

Hi All,

I am trying to stop and start my HANA Cloud Database using Cloud Foundry CLI.

cf version 6.52.0+b086fe522.2020-08-26

I can connect using the cf login without any issues and can see the services using cf services.

I have tried both the below commands

cf update-service myerpdb-db -c '{"action":"START|STOP"}'
cf update-service myerpdb-db  -c '{"data":"serviceStopped":false}'

FAILED
Invalid configuration provided for -c flag. Please provide a valid JSON object or path to a file containing a valid JSON object.

I have not created the service instance using the Service Instance

Thanks

Afshin

From what terminal you are executing that command.

This will work for instance on a bash shell:

cf update-service myerpdb-db -c '{"action": "START"}'

Executing the command in e.g. a Powershell terminal requires to escape special signs like double quotes:

cf update-service myerpdb-db -c '{\"action\": \"START\"}'
