Manage AppSail

Download an App’s Code

Catalyst enables you to download the source code of a deployed AppSail service from the console to your local system. This will download a ZIP file of the entire directory that was deployed to the console, which includes the application files and the catalyst-config.json file. The app-config.json will not be downloaded as it a configuration specific to the CLI environment.

You can download an AppSail app’s source code by clicking the ellipsis icon inside an app’s page from any of the sections, then clicking Download.

Disable an App

You can temporarily disable an AppSail service, if required. When an app is disabled, it cannot be invoked through its development or production deployment URL until you enable it again.

1. Navigate to the AppSail’s index page. Next, click the ellipsis icon for the app, and click Disable.

2. Enter “DISABLE” in the pop-up to confirm, then click Confirm.

The green dot indicating the live status of the app when you open it will also be removed.

You can enable a disabled app again by navigating to the index page.

2. Click Yes, Proceed to confirm.

Delete an App

You can permanently delete an AppSail app from the remote console. This will remove the app from being hosted in AppSail.

To delete an app in AppSail:

1. Navigate to the AppSail’s index page. Then, click the ellipsis icon for the app, and click Delete.

You will need to deploy the app again after it is deleted, if you require it.
