The article addresses an issue with orphaned searches in VertiGIS Studio Web, where a search appears in VS Search but not in any VS Web App, making it undeletable through standard means. The solution involves using the VSS API to delete the orphaned Configured Resource. This process includes copying the VSS App identifier, accessing the VSS API via the VS Search Designer, and executing a DELETE request with the App identifier. This method allows users to remove the orphaned search effectively.
Problem
There is a search (Type: VertiGIS Studio Web) in VS Search that does not appear in any VS Web App - a so-called ‘orphan’. It may appear when the layer field selection is updated in Web, there is a new Configured Resource created, but the old one remains and can't be deleted.
Solution
If you have an orphaned Configured Resource in Studio Search that can't be deleted or changed, there is a way how to delete it.
Typically, there is the following message if you try to delete the search with the recycle bin:
"App of type 'VertiGIS Studio Web' can be deleted only from within VertiGIS Studio Web Designer."
How to delete orphans
- Copy VSS App identifier (UUID) to clipboard:
- Open the VSS API. You can find it here: VS Search Designer -> Info -> Engine Settings -> Link Swagger UI
- look at the image below:
- click on "apps" (1), then "Try it out". A ‘Cancel’ button will then appear in red instead.
- click VSS API endpoint DELETE /api/apps/{appUuid} (2)
- Paste the previously copied App-identifier and then Execute (3)
Then, you should be able to delete the orphaned search.
