Reset Meta URL



Applications may use local data sources that are configured to periodically check for updates from the remote server.
In some cases, the URL that is used to check for updates can be corrupted. 

 This tutorial explains how to fix corrupted URLs and / or completely remove automatic updates to data sources from your app if you do not want this behavior.

For each local data source

  • In the Feed section of the App Tree (left hand side)  
  • Click the "link" icon to see the Association Edit page for the data source. 

  

IMPORTANT
In some cases, you might not able to navigate to the Association Edit page:  
How to Access Association Edit Page


Otherwise:


If you don't want your app to check for updates:

 

Make sure that Hosted is set to No
 


If you want your app to check for updates:

 

Set Hosted to Yes Just need to click Update

If you do not want to download the Data Source as a Local DB in your app:
  • If you don't actually want the data source to be downloadable, you should navigate back to the data source edit page
    • For Cloud Collections: Change Publish Automatically to No and click Update
    • For other data sources: Change Downloadable to No and click Update

Accessing the Edit Page
