IBM Cloud Functions: How to target organization and space / namespace

Question

I targeted organization and space using this command target -o [email protected] -s spaceName and it targeted successfully But when I run IBMCloud fn list, it is showing A target org and name must be specified

Answer 1

I assume that you targeted the organization and space using ibmcloud target .... See here the documentation for IBM Cloud Functions on targeting a namespace. Functions have their own system of namespaces. Initially, they mapped to Cloud Foundry organization and spaces, then moved to IAM-enabled namespaces.

You can list your IAM-enabled namespaces using this command:

ibmcloud fn namespace list

Thereafter, set the namespace like this:

ibmcloud fn namespace target HenriksNamespaceOne

Now you can list the objects in that namespace:

ibmcloud fn list

I strongly recommend to only use IAM-enabled namespaces because they allow better security control. In case of an issue, you could use the following command to see what Functions environment is set:

ibmcloud fn property get

Thereafter, use ibmcloud fn property unset --namespace to unset the namespace property. Then, run ibmcloud target -o ORG -s SPACE to target the CF-based namespace. You can also run ibmcloud target --cf to interactively target it.
