Python Example of Pausing and Resuming the Deferred Import Process

The example shows how you can pause and resume the deferred import process by using the API. The example is based on the vc_import_history_sample.py sample.

Note: For a complete and up-to-date version of the sample code, see the vsphere-automation-sdk-python VMware repository at GitHub.

		self.service_manager = ServiceManager(args.server,
		                                      args.username,
		                                      args.password,
		                                      args.skipverification)
		self.service_manager.connect()
		...
		# Using REST API service
		import_history = ImportHistory(self.service_manager.stub_config)
		...
		# Change the status - either pause or resume it
		start_status = get_defer_history_import_status(import_history)
		if start_status == Status.RUNNING:
			print('Pausing Defer History Data Import.')
			import_history.pause()
			...
		elif start_status == Status.PAUSED:
			print('Resuming Defer History Data Import.')
			import_history.resume()
