Qlik Sense API DoSave() is not effective for published apps

Hi,

I have got some trouble calling the Qlik Sense API via .NET SDK that makes a published app to contain old data. I call ILocation.App(), IApp.DoReload() and IApp.DoSave(). The script fetches XML and I can see the app contains new data, but only when logging in to Qlik Sense Hub with the same user as the user who triggered API calls. Moreover a user who has got root admin permissions (and being the author of the app) gets the following exception when calling DoSave():

Qlik.Engine.MethodInvocationException: Forbidden [LOCERR_HTTP_403]:Forbidden(REST HTTP error)

   at Qlik.Engine.Communication.QlikConnection.AwaitResponseTask(T task, String methodName, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

Following can be found in the logs:

It all looks strange, like some caching was in place we can't disable. To make things even worse, a new session of the author displays stale app data even when the previous session displayed correct data. It makes me feel that app is loading some data saved a day ago.

Is there any in-depth documentation that discusses the internals of reloading and saving apps? It seems I am missing some fundamental understanding about the product. What should I do to make the published apps correctly reloaded and saved for all users of a stream?

Hi,

The user executing the "DoReload" needs to have read and update privileges on the App_* and read privileges on ReloadTask_* .

On a server you not need to call DoSave apps are "auto" saved.
