Use the image.sh script with the -c list_link option to list existing soft links to image directories in a Cognos Analytics service instance.

./image.sh -c list_link -n instance_namespace -t tethered_namespace -u user_name -p password [-h]
-n instance_namespace
The namespace or project.
-p password
Cloud Pak for Data user password.
-t tethered_namespace
Namespace in which Cognos Analytics is provisioned.
-u user_name
Cloud Pak for Data username.
-h
Prints help to the console and exits.

The following example lists soft links in the Cognos Analytics service instances:

export ADMIN_NAME=<platform administrator user name>
export ADMIN_PASSWORD=<platform administrator password>
./image.sh -c list_link -n ${PROJECT_CPD_INST_OPERANDS} -t ${PROJECT_CPD_INSTANCE_TETHERED} -u ${ADMIN_NAME} -p ${ADMIN_PASSWORD}

Details of the soft links are in the format of ["subdirectory_name:link_name"]:

["portal_subdir:portal"]
