RE: Unpublish published extensions not installed

Hi, I've also checked all the relevant tables and there really isn't one that works.

The way I can think of so far is to use the Automation APIs. Although I think it's a bit complicated.....

https://api.businesscentral.dynamics.com/v2.0/d8f36038-1f93-4543-affc-5dc92b6ee871/Sandbox221/api/microsoft/automation/v2.0/companies(25333785-59e9-ed11-884d-6045bde998ec)/extensions

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

RE: Unpublish published extensions not installed

i can find the issue here , that it works for installed app, however my requirement is to find all apps published but not installed.

in the table "NAV App Installed App", i will not find the extensions not installed (but published)

i checked also NAV App Published App table, it is also OnPrem scope.

Regards,

David

Hi Zhu,

kindly see the following code and the error below:

it is giving Onprem scope error.

Note: The extension is searching for any published application not installed: the requirement is to unpblish all applications published with installed = false.

Hi, you can try codeunit 2504 "Extension Management"

Here is a simple example of the installation

Hi Kaspars,

i know i can open Extension management form, however i need it to be through code (automated) and it is required for cloud.

Just open Extension Management and filter out IsInstalled=NO.

Feels like it would be easier to add as a script and schedule it on the server - but it can be done only for on-prem BC.

Hi,

You can use Table ID - 2000000206 in VS code and create a Page by this table and filter your app or publisher name and you can check whether your app is installed or published.
