    Hey there! 1 - There are details about using an SSH key on this page: Create remote server transfer session as root user 2 - Details on setting up the transfer are here: Guide to Transfer and Restore API Functions - Queue the Transfer Item 3 - Disabling the transfer can be found here: Guide to Transfer and Restore API Functions - Plan the Transfer Session 4 - This would be the "force" flag from the same option in the link in #2 I will say, the Transfer APIs do require a lot of initial setup, and aren't always intuitive. You'll need to use each step from the attached image in order to successfully perform a transfer:

    Hello, This is my bash script: # create session and store in a variable session_id="$(/usr/sbin/whmapi1 --output=jsonpretty create_remote_root_transfer_session host='my.fqdn.com' user='root' port=2200 sshkey_name=id_ecdsa | awk '/"transfer_session_id" : / {print $3}' | sed -e 's|"||g' -e 's|,||g')" # send these parameters to queue /usr/sbin/whmapi1 enqueue_transfer_item \ module=AccountRemoteRoot \ user=myuser \ localuser=myuser \ force=1 \ replaceip='basic' \ skipaccount=1 \ overwrite_sameowner_dbs=1 \ overwrite_sameowner_dbusers=1 \ transfer_session_id="$session_id" # start transfer /usr/sbin/whmapi1 start_transfer_session transfer_session_id="$session_id"
    But after I run it to restore, I have the following warnings which creates new databases: The system has restored the MySQL database "myuser_db" as "myuser_db2".
    If I run again (in fact I tested it several times), I see this: The system has restored the MySQL database "myuser_db" as "myuser_db3".
    Can you please help me how to overwrite the database?

    Just to confirm, both the "user" and "localuser" have the same value in the script, correct?

    Yes, both have the same value.

    Thanks for confirming that. Can you also confirm that you are not using the restricted mode options? There is also an "overwrite_all_dbusers" flag as well that could be worth trying. From what I am seeing, you are doing everything correctly with your code.

    Thanks, I see in the docs. Is the value an integer? I mean should I use like this? overwrite_all_dbusers=1

    With using "unrestricted_restore=1", I got an error that I cannot use it with "AccountRemoteRoot" module. Without this line, the transfer has started and I'm waiting for it to complete.

    RE overwrite_all_dbusers not showing up as an argument in the other API docs, that's somewhat of an oversight in my opinion. Basically, the schema modules there define the arguments you can pass into enqueue_transfer_item which correspond to the given module. Not really sure how to best relay that in docs however.

    These are the logs of my last transfer (last night in fact): [quote] MysqlRemoteNotes MysqlRemoteNotes Mysql Preparing MySQL restore " Databases owned by "myuser" will be overwritten on conflict.

    Just to make it clear: In the server account is restored, I first created a new account called "myuser". Then I ran my script to live transfer from the source. Is that correct what I did? I suspect this may raise the issue.

    I ran with "overwrite_all_dbusers" option but I still see it creates a new database: [quote] RESTORE: Account "myuser": Warnings The system has restored the MySQL database "myuser_db" as "myuser_db3". Rename

    I'm doing a bit of testing with this today and I'll send you an update as soon as I have one!

    I wasn't able to reproduce this on the test machines I built, as the database and the user were properly overwritten when using your script. Could you submit a ticket to our team so we could do some additional testing with your environment?

    Thanks. I'm trying to obtain trial license but I'm not sure why I cannot. I reset my password in but I cannot logon with the new password in account.cpanel.net. Can I send you the IPs in your private message to activate the trial?

    I'm not able to do that on my end. You'll want to email cs@cpanel.net and they can check out your account and get that trial license issued.
