TimeXtender REST data source doesn't update endpoint names


Hi!
I have set up a REST connection in my Ingest instance to an API with multiple endpoints. The first time I misspelled two of the endpoint names, which I later changed. Then I noticed that the “old” names are still active in the ODX and does not get updated despite multiple refreshes (see attached screenshot). We have already done some work on some of the endpoints so I’m a bit reluctant to delete the whole connection and set it up again just to get these names updated. Is there some other way to fix this?

This is expected behavior, the reason is that for the name to change in the Ingest instance it requires a regeneration of the XSLT code that outputs the table. This is done when there is a change in the table builder. The easiest way to do this without actually changing anything is:

1. create the name you want for the table
2. click open table builder
3. right click root node and click "Edit root"
4. just click "Save" without editing anything (this triggers a change and regeneration of XSLT)
5. click "Save and close"

Then the new name of the returning table from the transform should be updated.

OK. Thank you for the reply. :)
I’m having some other issues in the same endpoint at the moment, but I will try this out as soon as I can.
