titleHow-to update API custom connectors

PowerApps custom connectors only work with Swagger version 2 definitions.

  1. Go to the ACC environment of the API and copy the swagger.json text.

  2. Open the APSD-PAPS repo and find the appropriate JSON file.

    • ~ Custom Connectors > JSON > [API].json

  3. Paste the json from step 1 into the file.

  4. Revert any changes made to the following properties, but update the version in the description if it has changed. The title needs to stay the same as this is used inside the Canvas app code. Host and basePath are set to environment variables so that the connectors don’t need to be updated during each deployment.

    Code Block
    languagejson
      "swagger": "2.0",
  "info": {
    "title": "MTAPI",
    "description": "MTOA Web Service APIs (v3.1.2.479)",
    "version": "v1"
  },
  "host": "@environmentVariables(\"ap_TCExternal_Host\")",
  "basePath": "/@environmentVariables(\"ap_MTAPI_BasePath\")"

  5. Open the Power Apps studio (ap-dev-tcd365 env) and go to the Custom Connectors.

  6. For the connector you want to update, click on ... → Update from OpenAPI file.

  7. Click Import and select the correct file, then click Continue.

  8. You will be brought to the connector details screen, click Update connector.

Info

The following steps seem to be necessary to get the Canvas app to recognize the updated connector.

  1. Go into the APSD-PAPS Canvas app editor.

  2. Click on the Data tab -> ... beside the connector you've updated -> Remove.

  3. Click Add data and re-add the custom connector.

  4. Save the canvas app.

Notes

  • MTAPI has 2 sets of environments: one for internal only & one that can be accessed outside of TC

    • The external one uses Kanga - http://wwwappstestext.tc.gc.ca

    • PowerApps is considered external, thus APSD connects to the Kanga environments

    • The JWT token is different for the 2 environments
