How to correct folder name (linux)

RexDeus9 — Wed, 26 Feb 2020 18:00:32 GMT

Hi,

I've inherited SAS platforms that have the following folder structure:

- Dev: /sas/config/Lev1

- Staging: /sas/Config/Lev1

Notice the 'C'apital c on the staging (Config). If it was MS-Windows we wouldn't bother, but it's Linux, which means case sensitive.

This adds a burden when writing bash scripts for various maintenance purposes. WHERE can we update/change the folder once it's deployed?

Thank you,

That could be in a lot of place in metadata and in scripts. If it was mine I would create a symbolic link.

You could write your bash scripts to ignore case in the instance(s) where you're checking/using the path indicated in the post.

Hi Joe,

I like your answer, but it gives me some chills as well. This sounds like 'correcting' a folder name after deployment is not possible, which is pretty sad. What if we had the following:

- Dev: /sas/config/Lev1

- Staging: /sas/config/Lev2

I'm still stuck with a wrong folder.:-(

I would go with symbolic link as advised by @JerryV
