Hello dears

We was introduced a system to terminate and then restore backup via API
Problems :
1 - Subdomains will not restore even if we use parameter &subdomains=1
2 - Recently we found that cPanel does not delete cpanel databases after terminating user account
So cpanel user backup will not restore and we have to drop databases via phpmyadmin and then try to restore manually :(

I think terminate account is ok (manual terminate)
But when I use API problem occurs and then I can not remove databases even via terminate an account in whm
So I have to remove them from phpmyadmin

This is API (removeacct) result :

Could you let us know which particular API you are using to terminate the account? Could you elaborate a little more on the nature of this custom script? The log output you provided shows the databases were successfully removed.

Thank you.

Hello
I am sure cPanel backup Or cpanel Terminate api has problem
We update cPanel in stable mode but problem exists yet.

We use https://server:2087/json-api/removeacct?user=username api (json or xml) to terminate account
Then we use https://server:2087/xml-api/createacct?username=... to create account
and then using these 2 api to add backup queue and activate queue
1 - https://$server:2087/json-api/restore_queue_add_task?api.version=1&user=username&restore_point=$restore_point&subdomains=1&mail_config=1&mysql=1&give_ip=0
2 - https://server:2087/json-api/restore_queue_activate?api.version=1

We did not changed this script recently. It worked well about 2 or 3 months ago but now it has broken for all of our servers (about 10 servers)


The problem is that terminate api can not remove mysql databases. I have to go to phpmyadmin and remove them manually and then re-run restore queue.

- - - Updated - - -

It is OK if I terminate account via WHM and try to restore backup (via api)
It is not OK if I terminate account via api and then try to restore account via WHM
It is not OK if I terminate account via api then create account and terminate again via whm, because I have to manually remove databases.
