Hi team,
I have developed a custom application that enables users to perform deployments through the app by utilizing the OutSystems LifeTime API V2. However, I noticed that one feature appears to be missing from the API—the ability to untick or skip republishing dependent applications, as shown in the LifeTime UI below.
Is there a way to programmatically untick or skip republishing dependent applications via the LifeTime API?
If not, is there any supported method to achieve this, such as updating related data directly through the LifeTime API or database?
Appreciate your guidance on this matter.
Hello @Yunus Shahrin ,
As of the current version of the OutSystems LifeTime API V2, there is no built-in capability to programmatically untick or skip republishing dependent applications. This action remains exclusive to the LifeTime UI to ensure deployment stability.
Directly updating deployment-related data in the LifeTime database is not supported and poses significant risks to environment integrity.
A best practice is to reduce inter-module dependencies or isolate common logic in core service modules to minimize auto-included dependencies.
I’d also recommend submitting this as a feature request on the OutSystems Ideas Forum since enabling this in the API would be valuable for advanced CI/CD pipelines.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Senthil
Hi @Yunus Shahrin
Why you want to avoid or skip the republish of dependent apps; Republish is an important phase to make sure the synchronization between apps.
Also republish of app’s make sure that there’s no breaking changes due to upgrades.
Thanks
