Overwrite service using PublishingTools/GPServer/Publish Service Definition REST API

AndyArismendi1

Hi, I see there's a parameter named "in_publish_options" for PublishingTools/GPServer/Publish Service Definition. Is it possible to use this to set the flag to overwrite the service as ArcGIS Desktop provides? I tried to look at what Desktop does with fiddler but all the services calls are SOAP binary so I didn't see what parameters and values were sent. I haven't seen any documentation for this parameter yet...

Thanks! I used to use ArcPy's UploadServiceDefinition but sometimes it fails with 99999 invalid URL and I've had more consistency calling the APIs it calls directly (the process is in the link below).

Thanks for pointing me to the service definition, it looks like this is what I'm looking for -

Change: <Type>esriServiceDefinitionType_New</Type>

To: <Type>esriServiceDefinitionType_Replacement</Type>
