Hello All,

   I need an help in updating the config file for API Connect for one of subsystem. Issue was that i have created an empty extra config file for backup and later i have upgraded the environment to the latest version 10.0.1.1 so that i can backup my files on to SFTP server. When i am trying to upgrade my existing Image to the latest version i am getting below error. Your help is really appreciated.

What commands have you tried when you say you are unable to modify the config file?

What do you see when you describe or get your deployment config (using kubectl)? If spec.databaseBackup is not required (seems so as you mentioned you have created an empty config file for backup), then you can kubectl edit your deployment and remove spec.databaseBackup. 

You have not provided enough information on how you added this empty config and how this ended up against "spec.databaseBackup.credentials". Was the empty config file added to a directory and a ConfigMap was created from this directory? You can edit ConfigMap and put in the required values in the relevant ConfigMap using kubectl edit command.

Hello

kubectl can be used to get the yaml related to pretty much any object.

The option is "-o yaml".

So try adding this to your kubectl get command...

kubectl get configmap -o yaml

Although I would recommend selecting the specific configmap you are interested in, rather than getting all of them.

Assuming your namespace is 'devel' and the configmap is called apiKeys, your command would be...

kubectl get configmap apiKeys -n devel -o yaml

I don't have a cluster up at the moment, so I couldn't check that syntax, but I think it is right.

Hello Neil Casey,

  Thank you I have generated the yaml file based on your inputs but i still don't see the details which has caused the issue. It suspect that i have taken the previous VM copy and then i have done the setup but i still dont understand even if i want to check my configuration why i cannot able to do that strange. Stuck with that looking all the possibility how to retrieve those details (i.e., my intention was to get the details using the commands) because I have already the project file. If you have any insight about it please do let me know.

Thanks,
Janakiram.

Hello,

I'm glad you were able to get the yaml back. Sorry I don't have any insight into how to fix your actual issue.
