When I try to update the template in the command line,
account_a_id=‘xxx’
aws quicksight update-template --aws-account-id $account_a_id --template-id ‘template_as_’ --cli-input-json file://template_.json
I get the following error :
An error occurred (InvalidParameterValueException) when calling the UpdateTemplate operation: Resource creation can only be done from one SourceEntity or Definition
template_.json file :
{
“Definition”: {
“DataSetConfigurations”: [
{
“Placeholder”: “xxxx”,
“DataSetSchema”: {
“ColumnSchemaList”: [,
]
},
“ColumnGroupSchemaList”:
}
],
“Sheets”: [
{
“SheetId”: “xx-4553-x-bf4d-670b10e5fe75”,
“Name”: “tab1”
},
{

},
{

“Name”: “tab3”
},
{
“SheetId”: “xx-4474-x-bda0-c2f3bdacbd61”,
“Name”: “tab4”
}
]
},
“SourceEntity”: {
“SourceAnalysis”: {
“Arn”: “arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:xxx:analysis/xxx”,
“DataSetReferences”: [
{
“DataSetPlaceholder”: “xx”,
“DataSetArn”: “arn:aws:quicksight:us-east-1:xx:dataset/xxx”
}
]
}
},
“VersionDescription”: “1”
}
I can’t figure out what the problem is here.
Hi @tbdori ,
As the error states “Resource creation can only be done from one SourceEntity or Definition”
If you are updating an existing template, then use the SourceEntity . Remove the Definition.
{
“AwsAccountId”: “”,
“TemplateId”: “”,
“SourceEntity”: {
“SourceAnalysis”: {
“Arn”: “”,
“DataSetReferences”: [
{
“DataSetPlaceholder”: “”,
“DataSetArn”: “”
}
]
},
“SourceTemplate”: {
“Arn”: “”
}
},
“VersionDescription”: “”,
“Name”: “”
}
Kind regards,

@Koushik_Muthanna But, what if I need to remove 2 sheets out of 6 sheets. Then, I need to change Definition > Sheets section , correct?
Or, is there another way to do such ?
My scenario :
[DEV account]
initial development - Analysis 6 sheet, Dashboard 6 sheet
updated (replace the existing dashboard) - Analysis 6 sheet, Dashboard 4 sheet
[STG account]
initial migration - Analysis 6 sheet, Dashboard 6 sheet
updated - ?? how to do ??
So, I have a dashboard template that has 6 sheets.
Now, I want to remove 2 sheets so it becomes 4 sheets in STG account
How do I do this?
I noticed that update-template actually overwrites the existing definition(4 sheets) as soon as I update it with the SourceEntity section. Same for the vice-versa case.
