activate-contract 

dci activate-contract <customerID> <contractID>

Transitions a draft contract to active or scheduled (when the start date is in the future). Produces the same system state as activating via the Console.

  • customerID — Identifier of the resource.
  • contractID — Identifier of the resource.

Examples​

# Preview the activation without sending a request.
dci activate-contract <customer-id> <contract-id> --dry-run
# Activate a draft contract, confirmed for scripts.
dci activate-contract <customer-id> <contract-id> --yes
`status` is `active`, or `scheduled` when the start date is in the future; a `409` means an active contract of the same type already exists for this tier.

Output​

OK - Contract activated or scheduled.

By default dci renders the result as a table. Use --output json to get the full structure described below — see Output formats.

Errors​

On failure, dci prints a single error message — with a hint when one is available — and exits with a typed code your scripts can branch on. See Errors and exit codes for the full contract.
