Kenya DDO File Processing

A. Transfer MCI to cont17131

Copy the MCI file from the internal file manager to the Remote Windows Main Downloads folder, verifying the transfer completed successfully before proceeding.
i Ensure the file transfer is complete before continuing to upload to the bastion host.
Open a fresh Git Bash terminal for a clean environment.
Upload the MCI file to cont17131:/tmp:
```
scp Downloads/(MCI-FILE) cont17131:/tmp
```
Upload issues

! If Permission denied, validate SSH keys and user permissions; if Connection timed out, check network and host reachability; ensure keys are loaded with ssh-add -l.
Connect to the server:
```
ssh cont17131
```
Connection issues

! Host unreachable indicates routing/DNS issues; Authentication failed indicates invalid credentials or missing keys.
Switch to user apizone (retrieve password from vault):
```
su - apizone
```
Password = NwQsR@404
Gain root privileges if required:
```
sudo su -
```
If needed, switch back to apizone to use cluster tooling:
```
su - apizone
```

Copy MCI to mst001:
```
scp /tmp/(MCI-FILE) mst001:/tmp
```
i Confirm existence with ls -l /tmp/(MCI-FILE) on cont17131 before transfer; verify inter-host connectivity on failure.
Connect to mst001:
```
ssh mst001
```
Elevate privileges if required:
```
sudo su -
```
Switch to ke-prod namespace/context (alias-based):
```
ke-prod
```
Context validation

i If ke-prod is unavailable, use kubectl config current-context and kubectl config use-context to target the correct cluster.

Find pod name running “direct” service:
```
pods | grep direct
```
i Copy the pod name exactly for subsequent commands.
Clean pod temp directories:
```
kubectl exec -it (POD-NAME) -- rm -rf /tmp/DDO/*
```
```
kubectl exec -it (POD-NAME) -- rm -rf /tmp/DDA/*
```
! Pod not found: verify with kubectl get pods; permission denied: check RBAC and current context.

Copy MCI into pod:


kubectl cp /tmp/(MCI-FILE) (POD-NAME):/tmp/DDO/

Monitor pod logs:
```
logs (POD-NAME)
```
i Stop viewing with Ctrl+C when processing completes.
List DDA directory:
```
kubectl exec -it (POD-NAME) -- ls -ltr /tmp/DDA
```
i Note the DDA filename for retrieval.

Copy DDA from pod to mst001:


kubectl cp (POD-NAME):/tmp/DDA/(DDA-FILE-NAME) /tmp/(DDA-FILE-NAME)

Exit sessions as needed:
```
exit
```
i Exit multiple times if nested shells were used (sudo/root).

Copy DDA from mst001 to cont17131:/tmp:


scp mst001:/tmp/(DDA-FILE-NAME) /tmp

Capture a screenshot confirming successful DDO processing for ticket/email trail.

Download DDA from cont17131 to local Downloads:


scp cont17131:/tmp/(DDA-FILE-NAME) Downloads/

Attach the DDA file from Remote Main Downloads to the JIRA ticket upon completion.

Disclosures and accessibility

i Ensure each <summary> has meaningful text so the disclosure control is accessible to assistive tech per MDN guidance.

Sticky TOC behavior

i Sticky requires a non-auto offset like top; it sticks within its container and unsticks at container bounds.
