ALTER APPLICATION PACKAGE … VERSION

Modifies the versioning of an existing application package in the Native Apps Framework.

See also:

ALTER APPLICATION PACKAGE , ALTER APPLICATION PACKAGE … RELEASE DIRECTIVE

Syntax

ALTER APPLICATION PACKAGE <name> ADD VERSION [ <version_identifier> ]
  USING <path_to_version_directory> [ LABEL = '<display_label>' ]

ALTER APPLICATION PACKAGE <name> DROP VERSION <version_identifier>

ALTER APPLICATION PACKAGE <name> ADD PATCH [<patch_number>] FOR VERSION [<version_identifier>]
  USING <path_to_version_directory> [ LABEL = '<display_label>' ]
Copy

Parameters

name

Specifies the identifier for the application package to alter. If the identifier contains spaces, special characters, or mixed-case characters, the entire string must be enclosed in double quotes. Identifiers enclosed in double quotes are also case-sensitive.

ADD VERSION [ version_identifier ] USING path_to_version_directory

Adds a version or patch using the application files located in the path to a stage location specified by path_to_version_directory.

You can specify an identifier for this version using version_identifier. If you do not specify a version_identifier in the manifest file, you must specify a version_identifier as part of this command. If you specify version_identifier as part of this command, it takes precedence over version_identifier specified in the manifest file.

[ LABEL = 'display_label' ]

You can use the LABEL clause to specify a label for this new version. This label is displayed to the consumer. If you omit the LABEL clause, the label specified in the manifest.yml file is used.

DROP VERSION version_identifier

Drops the version with the specified version name.

Drops a version with the specified version identifier. A version may only be dropped when there are no release directives that are referring to it. Dropping is an asynchronous process and completes when all application instances have successfully upgraded from the older version and no longer have code running on the dropping version.

Use the APPLICATION_STATE view view to monitor the state of the application instances. Use the SHOW VERSIONS command to monitor the status of the dropped version.

ADD PATCH patch_number FOR VERSION version_identifier . USING path_to_version_directory [ LABEL = 'display_label' ]

Adds a patch for the specified version (version_identifier) using the application files located in the specified path to a stage location (path_to_version_directory).

You can use the LABEL clause to specify a label for this new patch. This label is displayed to the consumer. If you omit the LABEL clause, the label specified in the manifest.yml file is used.

Usage notes

  • Version identifiers have a maximum limit of 30 characters.

  • A single version can have up to 130 patches.

  • Modifying the version requires a role with the OWNERSHIP privilege on the application or the global MANAGE VERSIONS privilege.

  • If you do not specify the values for the optional properties, the command uses the values specified in the application manifest file.

    If you specify values for the properties in the command and in the application manifest file, the values specified in the command take precedence.

  • If two versions are active, for example, if the current version has not finished rolling out, adding a new version results in an error.

Examples

  ADD VERSION v1_1
