Updating Analysis through CLI

Question & Answer
1

Do you have any advice on using the update-analysis command? There’s a place where you input JSON, but I’m getting a lot of errors. Something I’m trying it using describe-analysis-definition to get a JSON output, modifying that, and using it to update, but it isn’t working. A follow up question: If I run describe-analysis-definition on analysis A, change it, and try to use that to update analysis B, is that possible?

Hi @ineedqshelp - It should work, if the analysis contain calculation fields, sometimes it is throwing error. To start and explore this functionality, create a simple report, describe it and try to update the name and see whether you are able to create it via API or not.

hi @ineedqshelp - can you share the command (you can mask account ids and other PII details) so that it will help in guiding the right solution.

aws quicksight update-analysis --aws-account-id *** --analysis-id ID of analysis I’m trying to update --name --cli-json-input file://file.json

All of these in your json need to be eliminated. This is from your describe analysis correct?

Then try and see if those other errors occur as well.
