Question

I have the below flow that will make a REST request on a periodic basis and then store the data into the PostgreSQL database.

<jdbc:postgresql-data-source name="PostgreSQL_Data_Source" user="postgres" password="*******" url="jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/TestDB" transactionIsolation="UNSPECIFIED" doc:name="PostgreSQL Data Source"/>
<jdbc:connector name="PostgreSQL_JDBC_Connector" dataSource-ref="PostgreSQL_Data_Source" validateConnections="true" queryTimeout="-1" pollingFrequency="0" doc:name="Database">
    <jdbc:query key="InsertRecord" value="INSERT INTO "tblJSON"("StoreHere") VALUES (CAST(#[message.payload] AS json))"/>
</jdbc:connector>

<flow name="RESTServiceScheduling" doc:name="RESTServiceScheduling">

     <!-- Step 1: Generates events at a given interval of time -->
     <quartz:inbound-endpoint jobName="RESTServiceJobSchedule" repeatInterval="0" doc:name="Quartz" responseTimeout="10000" cronExpression="0 0 10 ? * *">
          <quartz:event-generator-job/>
     </quartz:inbound-endpoint>


    <!-- Step 2: This will read the REST service data -->
    <http:rest-service-component httpMethod="GET" serviceUrl="http://localhost:12186/RestServiceImpl.svc/StorageUsage" />

    <!-- Step 3: Transform the HTTP-streamed payload into a java.lang.String  -->   
    <object-to-string-transformer doc:name="Object to String"/>

    <!-- Step 4: Dump into the destination Database --> 
    <jdbc:outbound-endpoint exchange-pattern="one-way" queryKey="InsertRecord" queryTimeout="-1" connector-ref="PostgreSQL_JDBC_Connector" doc:name="Destination"/>

</flow>

This works fine but I need a way from CLI (Command Line Interface) to trigger the job.

How can I do so?

Thanks in advance

Use an HTTP inbound endpoint to trigger the flow and call it with curl from the command line.
