## Overview

In ONTAP, scheduled Snapshot copy creation works based on the schedules associated with Snapshot copy policies. ONTAP provides six cluster-wide schedules: "5min", "8hour", "hourly", "daily", "weekly" and "monthly". A Snapshot copy policy is created using at least one of these schedules and up to 5 schedules can be associated with a Snapshot copy policy. A Snapshot copy policy can be linked to a storage object and based on the schedule in the policy, Snapshot copies are created on the object at that interval. Each schedule in a Snapshot copy policy has a Snapshot copy name prefix attached to it. Every Snapshot copy created using this policy has this prefix in its name. There is also a retention count associated with every schedule. This count indicates the maximum number of Snapshot copies that can exist for a given schedule. Once the Snapshot copy count reaches the retention count, on the next create operation, the oldest Snapshot copy is deleted. A schedule can be added, modified or deleted from a Snapshot copy policy.

## Snapshot copy policy schedule APIs

The following APIs are used to perform operations related to Snapshot copy policy schedules:

- POST /api/storage/snapshot-policies/{snapshot_policy.uuid}/schedules/
- GET /api/storage/snapshot-policies/{snapshot_policy.uuid}/schedules/
- GET /api/storage/snapshot-policies/{snapshot_policy.uuid}/schedules/{schedule.uuid}
- PATCH /api/storage/snapshot-policies/{snapshot_policy.uuid}/schedules/{schedule.uuid}
- DELETE /api/storage/snapshot-policies/{snapshot_policy.uuid}/schedules/{schedule.uuid}

## Examples

### Adding schedule to a Snapshot copy policy

The POST operation is used to create a schedule for a Snapshot copy policy with the specified attributes.

    from netapp_ontap import HostConnection
    from netapp_ontap.resources import SnapshotPolicySchedule

    with HostConnection("<mgmt-ip>", username="admin", password="password", verify=False):
        resource = SnapshotPolicySchedule("32a0841a-818e-11e9-b4f4-005056bbab9c")
        resource.schedule.uuid = "7c985d80-818a-11e9-b4f4-005056bbab9c"
        resource.count = "5"
        resource.prefix = "new_hourly"
        resource.post(hydrate=True)
        print(resource)

Try it out

    SnapshotPolicySchedule(
        {
            "count": 5,

## Classes

`class SnapshotPolicySchedule (*args, **kwargs)`

  The Snapshot copy policy schedule object is associated with a Snapshot copy policy and it defines the interval at which Snapshot copies are created and deleted.

  Initialize the instance of the resource.

  Any keyword arguments are set on the instance as properties. For example, if the class was named 'MyResource', then this statement would be true:

      MyResource(name='foo').name == 'foo'

  ## Args

  `*args`
    Each positional argument represents a parent key as used in the URL of the object. That is, each value will be used to fill in a segment of the URL which refers to some parent object. The order of these arguments must match the order they are specified in the URL, from left to right.
  `**kwargs`
    each entry will have its key set as an attribute name on the instance and its value will be the value of that attribute.

  ### Ancestors

  - Resource

  ### Static methods

  `def count_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> int`

    Retrieves a collection of Snapshot copy policy schedules.

    ### Related ONTAP commands

    - `snapshot policy show`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/snapshot-policies/{snapshot_policy.uuid}/schedules`

    Fetch a count of all objects of this type from the host.

    This calls GET on the object to determine the number of records. It is more efficient than calling get_collection() because it will not construct any objects. Query parameters can be passed in as kwargs to determine a count of objects that match some filtered criteria.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the count of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. These query parameters can affect the count. A return_records query param will be ignored.

    ## Returns

    On success, returns an integer count of the objects of this type. On failure, returns -1.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400, or if there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library.

  `def delete_collection(*args, body: typing.Union = None, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> NetAppResponse`

    Deletes a schedule from a Snapshot copy policy

    ### Related ONTAP commands

    - `snapshot policy remove-schedule`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/snapshot-policies/{snapshot_policy.uuid}/schedules`

    Delete all objects in a collection which match the given query.

    All records on the host which match the query will be deleted.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to delete the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `body`
      The body of the delete request. This could be a Resource instance or a dictionary object.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host. Only resources matching this query will be deleted.

    ## Returns

    A `NetAppResponse` object containing the details of the HTTP response.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned a status code >= 400

  `def find(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, **kwargs) -> Resource`

    Retrieves a collection of Snapshot copy policy schedules.

    ### Related ONTAP commands

    - `snapshot policy show`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/snapshot-policies/{snapshot_policy.uuid}/schedules`

    Find an instance of an object on the host given a query.

    The host will be queried with the provided key/value pairs to find a matching resource. If 0 are found, None will be returned. If more than 1 is found, an error will be raised or returned. If there is exactly 1 matching record, then it will be returned.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to find a bar for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A `Resource` object containing the details of the object or None if no matches were found.

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If the API call returned more than 1 matching resource.

  `def get_collection(*args, connection: HostConnection = None, max_records: int = None, **kwargs) -> typing.Iterable`

    Retrieves a collection of Snapshot copy policy schedules.

    ### Related ONTAP commands

    - `snapshot policy show`

    ### Learn more

    - `DOC /storage/snapshot-policies/{snapshot_policy.uuid}/schedules`

    Fetch a list of all objects of this type from the host.

    This is a lazy fetch, making API calls only as necessary when the result of this call is iterated over. For instance, if max_records is set to 5, then iterating over the collection causes an API call to be sent to the server once for every 5 records. If the client stops iterating before getting to the 6th record, then no additional API calls are made.

    ## Args

    `*args`
      Each entry represents a parent key which is used to build the path to the child object. If the URL definition were /api/foos/{foo.name}/bars, then to get the collection of bars for a particular foo, the foo.name value should be passed.
    `connection`
      The `HostConnection` object to use for this API call. If unset, tries to use the connection which is set globally for the library or from the current context.
    `max_records`
      The maximum number of records to return per call
    `**kwargs`
      Any key/value pairs passed will be sent as query parameters to the host.

    ## Returns

    A list of `Resource` objects

    ## Raises

    `NetAppRestError`: If there is no connection available to use either passed in or on the library. This would be not be raised when get_collection() is called, but rather when the result is iterated.
