Qlik Enterprise Manager: patchendpoint API Error

Alan_Wang — Mon, 18 May 2026 12:19:28 GMT

QEM API used: PatchEndpoint
Endpoint for patching: SQL Server

The following error occurs when trying to update the PatchEndpoint endpoint with the prop value seen for the fields. The prop value seen for this endpoint is DO.SqlserverSettings.server.

{"error_code":"AEM_PATCH_ENDPOINT_INNER_ERR","error_message":"Failed to patch replication endpoint \"HS_MSSQL_ISOPROD\" from server \"dev\". Error \"SYS-E-HTTPFAIL, Failed to apply json-patch.\", Detailed error: \"SYS,GENERAL_EXCEPTION,Failed to apply json-patch,Failed to apply patch remove/replace for item '/db_settings/DO.SqlserverSettings.server'; item does not exist; Failed to apply json patch\"."}

Resolution

The correct prop value in this instance is 'server' for the server field. The prop value in this endpoint contains the combined value of the parent prop, while other endpoints will separate the parent prop value into its own parameter.

Sample JSON file with the correct prop value:

[
{ "op":"replace", "path":"/db_settings/server",
"value":"server_ip_address_here" }
]

Cause

SQL Server endpoint elements did not separate the parent prop value, leading to a misleading element inspection. The last part of the prop value is all that is needed for the JSON file.
