Can't install application back into a freshly cloned dev environment

[dave_edgar]

I've been working on a couple of applications in dev and having been publishing versions, the versions become available on our test and prod instances which is all normal.

However we had to clone Prod over Dev for another app to be started, as we needed to eradicate some r&d that had been done.   I backed the apps up as per preserving app guidelines which was all good however when coming to apply the partially developed apps to the freshly cloned dev environment we can not as the system says the apps are already associated "Application 'XYZ' is already associated with another repository configuration".

I believe this is because as the apps are already in the sys_store_app table waiting to be installed.   We(Hi and I) have tried installing the partially dev'd apps from either source control and update set but both fail.

I reckon I need to uninstall the apps from the sys_store_app.   Any thoughts?   I'm currently waiting on HI feedback.

Hi Dave,

Sometimes you can update the versioning of the app and get it to install, so you might be able to update the version number, push it to the repo, and then download the updated version.

How could I update the version. I have no instance where the app is installed where I can publish a new version from

Ahh ok. I thought you had it in one of your instances and you mentioned update sets and source control.

Had similar issue - review the sys_repo_config table.
