How to update repo versions in Ambari server

[#1]

1. Get the output from Ambari server

http://AMBARI-HOST:8080/api/v1/stacks/HDP/versions?fields=repository_versions/operating_systems/repo...

2. Copy the json of "operating_systems" outer block of step1 output and create repo.json file -

it would looks like repo.json

3. update repo.json file to reflect your changes/modifications.

4. now run below API call to update.

curl -insecure  -H "X-Requested-By:ambari" --user admin:admin --data @repo.json  -X PUT  http://AMBARI-HOST:8080/api/v1/stacks/HDP/versions/3.1/repository_versions/1

Note: please make sure you include correct repo version id at the end. in this case it is 1

5. Now go and check in UI to see if those changes reflects.

Note: This tried and tested in Ambari2.7.x

Hi, This was really helpful as we were not able to change the baseurls in Ambari due to some errors.

While trying Step4 and executing the curl command, I am facing the below error message from Ambari:

p://<node>:8080/api/v1/stacks/HDP/versions/3.1/repository_versions/302/

Could you please help us resolve the issue.

Hi Arvind , Can you check the Ambari server logs to see what error you are getting. If you are seeing something like this :

Caused by: org.apache.ambari.server.AmbariException: Base url is missing for request RepositoryRequest

Try to add this : 

gpl.license.accepted=true" in /etc/ambari-server/conf/ambari.properties and restart ambari-server.
