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.

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 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.

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, 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.....

Hope this helps.

Thanks.
