Verifying Symbolic Links for SAM and Schema Registry

About This Task

After you register and install your target version, but before you proceed with a Rolling or Express Upgrade, verify that the symbolic links to the SAM and Schema Registry configuration directories on each host are still valid. If the links are not valid, fix them before upgrading.

Steps

Confirm on each host running Registry or SAM that symlinks for the configuration directories are still valid.
```
#For Schema Registry
ls -l /etc/registry/conf

#For SAM
ls -l /etc/streamline/conf
```

If the link appears to be broken, perform the following steps to fix it.

Remove the broken symbolic link.

#Remove broken Schema Registry link
rm -rf /etc/registry/conf

#Remove broken SAM link
rm -rf /etc/streamline/conf

Create a physical SAM or Schema Registry configuration directory.

#Create a Schema Registry conf directory
mkdir -p /etc/registry/conf

#Create SAM conf directory
mkdir -p /etc/streamline/conf

Copy the configuration files from your backup, into the new directory.

#Copy Schema Registry backup files
cp /etc/registry/conf.backup/* /etc/registry/conf

#Copy SAM backup files
cp /etc/streamline/conf.backup/* /etc/streamline/conf
