Issue/Introduction

The Spectrum 10.4 online documentation https://techdocs.broadcom.com/content/broadcom/techdocs/us/en/ca-enterprise-software/it-operations-management/spectrum/10-4/installing-and-upgrading/ca-spectrum-dockerization/create-and-run-a-native-docker-container.html at step 3 and 4 of Upgrade chapter states:

Is the $SPECROOT/custom dir also saved somewhere?

Environment

Release : 10.4

Component : Spectrum Core / SpectroSERVER

Resolution

In 10.4 and above releases, we already are saving the custom folders.

In container, under "/"(root dir) as part following backup.sh file, you can see the following snippet of code which gets called during container termination:

cp -r /usr/Spectrum/custom /data/${PERSISTENT_LOCATION} 

 

So basically, before a container terminates, we call the "prestop hook" which in turn calls backup.sh and copies the customizations.
