updating qConnectionSecret is not working in Data-connection api

Hi Community,

I was trying to update the Amazon S3 credentials in Qlik SaaS data connection dynamically using data-connection API. A week before the API worked fine, but now it is not. The link I followed https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/data-connections#%23%2Fentries%2Fdata-connections%2F-qID-put

I'm passing the following data:

{

"qID":"string",

"qName":"string",

"qConnectStatement":"string",

"qType":"string",

"qEngineObjectID":"string",

"qConnectionSecret":"accessKey=accessKeyValue;secretKey=secretKeyValue"

}

whereas in qConnectionSecret I'm passing wrong credentials intentionally to check the data connection update. Still the data connection is happening. Need help.

Thanks in Advance

Hi @Todd66 ,

Sorry for the late reply. I fixed the above issue by creating the initial connection through API.
On the 1st case I create the connection directly in the Qlik sense cloud data load editor and it works. After few week it didn't work.
So I deleted the old connection and created new connection through API and try to update the credentials through API. In 2nd case it worked.
Please try this 2nd method.

Thanks
