    • Introduction

    Use the Db2 Warehouse on Cloud Scaling API to schedule, delete or view the status of a scale operation of your Db2 Warehouse on Cloud instance. Requests require an IBM Cloud UAA token, the space ID of the instance, and the instance ID. The instance and space IDs are available in the URL of the instance on IBM Cloud. The user attempting to make these API calls must also have developer access to the system.

    Error handling

    This API uses standard HTTP response codes to indicate whether a method completed successfully. A 200 response always indicates success. A 400 type response is some sort of failure, and a 500 type response usually indicates an internal system error.

    Add a new scale request

    Only one open request is allowed per instance. It is impossible to downsize storagegb once you have scaled up. triggertime must be sent in as epoch time in milliseconds and must be within the next 14 days. storagegb and cpucores must conform to the discrete levels allowed by your specific offering model. If no input is given for triggertime then the start time is now. If there is no input given for storagegb or cpucores then no change will be made to that parameter.
