SymlinkTargetNotExist

The symlink target object does not exist

Error description

The target object that the soft link points to is not found.

Error cause

When you call Downloading an Object or Obtaining Object Metadata to access a soft link object, the object that the soft link points to does not exist.

Handling suggestion

Ensure that the object that the soft link points to exists. You can call Creating a Symbolic Link to obtain the name of the object that the soft link points to and then call Obtaining Object Metadata to check whether the object exists.

If the object does not exist, error 404 will be reported. In this case, re-upload the object or create a new soft link and point it to the correct object.
