Migrating from 6.5 to cloud and ran Analyzer for dispatcher module and committed suggested changes 

 

Used below command and added missing immutable files as well

docker_immutability_check.cmd src

Able to deploy dispatcher in local docker instance successfully, but when we try to deploy using adobe webtier dispatcher pipeline getting below error

@vishnura5, it is failing validation due to invalid symlinks. Cloud Manager requires that all files in /conf.d/enabled_vhosts and /conf.dispatcher.d/enabled_farms must be actual UNIX symlinks (e.g., created via ln -s).
Windows “symlinks” (or copies with .symlink extension or “pseudo” symlinks) are not recognized by Linux-based validation in Adobe’s pipeline.

So, delete any Windows-created links and re-create actual UNIX symlinks (not copies) using Git Bash, Linux terminal, or a WSL shell.

Example:

# In your dispatcher config repo root cd conf.d/enabled_vhosts rm companybrand.vhost # Remove the bogus/copy/pseudo symlink ln -s ../available_vhosts/companybrand.vhost companybrand.vhost cd ../../conf.dispatcher.d/enabled_farms rm companybrand.farm ln -s ../available_farms/companybrand.farm companybrand.farm

    @giuseppebaglio  , @arunpatidar thankyou.

    removed respective files and ran below windows command at respective folders and created symlinks 

     

    mklink wknd.farm ..\available_farms\wknd.farmmklink wknd.vhost ..\available_vhosts\wknd.vhost
