@rahuldeepattri , thanks for your feedback!

Unfortunately, HTML5 Applications Repository service currently does not support partial upload of content associated with app-hostservice instance. This means that to update a single application, all applications of the same app-host service instance should be redeployed. This is a consistent behaviour across all deployment options, including GACD, deployer application and CF CLI plugin. Therefore, removing all content associated with app-host before uploading new content (a single application in your case) is an expected behaviour.

Once HTML5 Applications Repository expose API that allows to deploy/redeploy single application, we plan to add this functionality to cf html5-push as well. I'll forward your feature request to HTML5 Applications Repository product owner.

So far you can do the following:

1. Create an empty directory and change your current working directory to it mkdir html5 && cd html5
2. Run cf html5-list to see app-host-id of the application you want to redeploy
3. Run cf html5-get --all <app-host-id> to download all applications deployed with same service instance (same app-host-id) to current working directory
4. Replace or make changes to application you want to redeploy
5. Redeploy all applications to the same app-host service instance cf html5-push -r

@micellius Thanks for giving the work around as well. Will be useful to update github docs for the same.

Hi, is it possible to have multiple app-host in the same space? And how to consume it from one approuter?

[micellius]

Hi @mdejavue ,

Yes, it is possible to consume multiple app-host instances in one Approuter.

• If you have multiple app-host instances in the same space, they are all automatically consumable with app-runtime service instance (of the same space).
• If you'd like to consume app-host instances from different spaces, this is also possible, while more complex to setup. You'll need to bind services that expose their app-host IDs as part of binding information to Approuter as well as add manifetst.json > sap.cloud > public:true to HTML5 apps that intend to be shared cross-space.
• To see, which HTML5 apps from which app-host instances and other business services are available in your Approuter, you can use cf html5-list -a <approuter_app_name>. If you'd like to see the URLs of how to consume these applications via this specific Approuter, you can add -u at the end of command above.

Hi @micellius,

would also be interrested in this feature. That would allow quicker cycles when a deployed version is needed to test specific features.
