Unpublishing an App Effects on Reports Published To Web

Hi all,

 

Hopefully a simple one: I need to unpublish an app so that I can delete out and archive some old data and reports. What I want to know is will unpublishing the app have any effect on reports that I have set to Publish to Web (and that I'm keeping). A lot of these are being used heavily and I want to avoid a s**t storm if my actions were to take down the reports.

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Sam

  • Hi there

    As far as I know unpublishing the App should not affect your Publish to Web reports.

    I would complete the steps below to ensure that nothing breaks.
    - What you could do is to create another App Workspace, upload a report and create an App.
    - Set one of the reports to Publish to Web
    - Then create and consume the App.
    - Make sure that it works.
    - Then remove the App.
    - And see if you can still access your Publish to Web report.

    Hi Anonymous,

     

    I have made a test with the steps similar with GilbertQ.

     

    By my test, it seems that unpublish the App will not affect your Publish to Web reports.

      Thank you both for your answers and testing! I will run a similar test myself now...
