POST /time_machines/{time-machine-name}/start_afresh

Restart the time machine. This will clear the "customer" data like customer details, subscriptions, invoices, transactions. Also a time travel is initiated to travel back to specified genesis time.

Note: This API call is asynchronous. You need to check if the "start afresh" operation has completed by checking if the time travel status is successful by retrieving the time machine in a loop with a minimum delay of 3 secs between two retrieve requests. In case you are using any of the client libraries, use the wait for time travel completion function provided as a instance method in the library. Use method waitForTimeTravelCompletion() on the returned time_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes. Use method waitForTimeTravelCompletion() on the returned time_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes. Use method wait_for_time_travel_completion on the returned time_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes. Use method wait_for_time_travel_completion on the returned time_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes. Use method WaitForTimeTravelCompletion on the returned time_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes. Use method wait_for_time_travel_completion on the returned time_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes. Use method waitForTimeTravelCompletion on the returned time_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes. Use method wait_for_time_travel_completion on the returned time_machine resource which will block until the time travel completes.
