Replace a published app

jp_golay — Thu, 09 Jul 2015 21:15:44 GMT

I try to replace an app that is published by a new one with REPOS REST API or .NET API

The problem if I use qrs/app/upload?name=<appname>&replace=244dcc15-f61f-4602-ad26-91da4c0fb1b7

I get an exception

Internal error [LOCERR_GENERIC_INTERNAL_ERROR]:Internal error(Could not import file (ImportApp))

{"Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."}

How can I achieve this do I need to unpublish before replace and if yes I can't find a REST Repos Api url to do it

Thanks for your help

I found the solution upload the app under a temp name, replace the published app then delete the temp app

Hello Jean-Philippe,

Could you tell me which replace function from the REST api did you use? For the moment I am able to upload applications (in the case I have one with the same name it list me two, it doesn't replace), delete the old published application and then publish the new one but I would like to keep the sheets created by the users and this functionality is available when you publish an application and replace the old one but I don't find anything on the api.

Thanks.

Hi ebiexperts‌

Have you a piece of working code with REST REPLACE method? Can you share it?

We get the response from the server: "403 Prohibited." for every PUT REST API's methods (REPLACE, PUBLISH etc.). GET/POST methods work properly.

Big thanks!
