When WAB opens and I sign in, my app cards are not visible anymore. The request to the database with my username and portalUrl is not returning any entries. However, I can still access the apps with the url followed by the app id. How can I repair the backend database so that it will return my apps in the WAB content page.
Has anyone else experienced this and began working with the backend db of Web App Builder to repair?
Richard,
Are you talking AGOL WAB or WAB Dev Edition?
WAB Dev Edition v2.2. I've begun setting up v2.3 but will need to recreate the apps because I was not able to download the apps from the builder since the cards did not appear. I did zip the folder for each app, but am unable to import it into the new builder which is something I would like to figure out as well.
It looks to me like the builder app is using mongodb. Have you tried connecting to the database and inspecting it for issues? When the builder app loads, it runs a query against the database using the user_name and portalUrl. The query is returning an empty list. When I look at the apps file there are multiple apps shown, some even duplicate apps but with different last_updated values.
When the app cards disappear what can we do to get them back?, then why did they disappear?
Richard,
It is actually TingoDB and editing it manually is very problematic. You can likely recover your apps by following this method:
