Application export error - Application automation

[lwp89]

Hello experts,

I have apps in managed spaces, I am the owner of the app and the space.

I am using this block 'Export App To Base 64 Encoded File' but its throwing export error

Does it mean that I do not have the export permission? Its confusing because I am the owner of the app and space.

Thanks

Sorry but this does not make sense to me.. NOTE that Qlik SaaS has an Application Automation Templates for exporting published apps to Git.  (We know that app can only be published into Managed space and not a shared space) so Why does Qlik provide this template if it does not have the export function for apps published into managed space?

@lwp89, 

That template was originally built to store the source app (the app that gets published) instead of the published app. 

But you make a fair point that the template has the option to use the ID of the published app, this functionality was added in a later version of that template. We might have been too quick with dismissing your question, apologies. I'll get together with the team that owns the Export App API functionality to make sure no changes were made on their side.

I confirmed that exporting a published app was never possible.

The description of the template and the template itself need to be updated.

In that template I think you're meant to select the originAppId in the "Get App Information" block rather than the AppId. That way you're exporting the unpublished app - which at that point is identical to the published one. That also means accessing things like the data load script to export would be expected to work.

Thanks all,

So here is my app published block

Now on the next block 'Get App Information' I am looking for original app ID as shown below

But it fails at this step and throws the 404 error

Do note that the app I am publishing to this test managed space is originally sitting in the shared space and I am the owner of all the spaces and this app

@lwp89 ,

It looks like you're using the webhook example payload instead of triggering a real app published event.

If you manually execute a webhook triggered automation (by clicking Run), the example payload is used.

Can you try to publish an app instead of clicking run or can you update the example payload so the originAppId is a real app from your tenant?

Thank you, I just cold not figure out where that exampleID was coming from.. but now it all makes sense.

I have fixed it, tested and its all working now 🙂 Thank you very much for all your help.
