Appian version manager not working as expeced.

Hi,

It appears from the error that you exported the entire application rather than selecting objects within the application to create a patch. When you specify a uuid in the parameters, you should only be exporting a patch and not the entire application. If you would like to export the entire application, do not specify a UUID in your parameters.

Thanks bradc for response, I have not used UUID as parameter and i am making patch of 2 objects from one of Appian Application now and still getting the same error message.

Ok Thanks bradc, as per suggestion i have used below command
version-application -action addContents -vc_username (VC_USER) -vc_password (VC_PASSWORD)-application_path "C:\\Users\\43987901\\Downloads\\Country Flag Icons - Patch - 2018-03-13_1251_ASEAN_HSBCUK_20180313.zip" -commit_message “Adding account executive record” -uuid _a-0000de51-e49e-8000-9ba2-011c48011c48_16348

but now i am getting below error.
ERROR com.appiancorp.ps.automatedversioning.helper.UpdateAppXmlHelper - Error: the application _a-0000de51-e49e-8000-9ba2-011c48011c48_16348 does not exist in the repository. The file C:\Developer_Appian\application_files\application\_a-0000de51-e49e-8000-9ba2-011c48011c48_16348.xml could not be found. Exiting without committing to source control.

I have branch with same name as Appian application. What else i need to create for this?

You will first need to commit your full application (not a patch) and exclude the UUID from your parameters. This should initialize your repo for further commits using patches (and you will need to then include the UUID in your parameters going forward). The branch name does not need to match your application name.

Hi bradc
You will first need to commit your full application (not a patch) and exclude the UUID from your parameters -> I have commited the in git repository including the branch and then ran command as mentioned in above my comment excluding -uuid paramemeter. I got below error

Are you able to attach a screenshot of the zip file contents? I would like to see just the folders contained in the zip file your are attempting to commit.

Are you exporting entire application or patch?
