No entry in sys_app after publishing scoped app

Tjardo · ‎11-21-2019

Hi all,

I've made an scoped app on the sandbox instance, when the first version was done i published my scoped app. After publishing i've installed the app on the dev instance via System Applications > My Company Applications. When installed, i want to develop on the dev instance on the scoped app. Unfortunately i can't find my scoped app in studio, because there is no entry made in the sys_app table. Does anybody have any tips how to fix it? And what possibly went wrong..

Thanks!

Hi Tjardo,

The reason it is not available in Studio on test instance is because the app was shared via Apprepo i.e Publish to My Application Repository. Recommended in order to publish an app to internal instances. That said, if your requirement is to have an author version of the app (** In order to develop the app **) then you should export the app update set XML and import it in the target instance. In this case, the app will be visible in Studio.

P.S: In case you prefer to go with an update set approach, make sure you delete the application which you have already installed in the target instance before importing the update set XML.

Thanks Mark! For the next clone i will make some Data Preservers to be sure the entries will stay.
