424 Dependency Failed when updating search parameter

[liamwilson-kainos]

Hi, I am having issues updating a Search Parameter and would appreciate any advice please -

PUT request to {{fhirHost}}/SearchParameter/location-operational-status

with body

{
    "resourceType" : "SearchParameter",
    "id" : "location-operational-status",
    "url" : "omitted/SearchParameter/LocationOperationalStatus",
    "name" : "location-operational-status",
    "status" : "active",
    "date" : "2023-08-29",
    "publisher" : "omitted",
    "contact" : [
      {
        "name" : "omitted"
      }
    ],
    "description" : "Returns Location resources with a specified operational status.",
    "code" : "operational-status",
    "base" : [
      "Location"
    ],
    "type" : "token",
    "expression": "operationalStatus"
  }

Thank you!

I did try a PUT of {{fhirHost}}/SearchParameter/location-operational-status with the above SearchParameter but entered my own URL in the URL field and that worked. I was not able to reproduce the same error. I know you have omitted the URL, but if you are willing to share I will try with the same URL value.

Hi @feordin - thanks for replying! Unfortunately I cannot share that and it is secured against public internet access.

Interestingly, this request was working fine but then we started experiencing this error.

We have also tried, deleting the search parameter, reindexing and then adding again.

[liamwilson-kainos]

@feordin - I believe this could be happening after a deletion - e.g.

DELETE {fhirServer}/SearchParameter/location-operational-status

and then trying the same PUT request again straight afterwards

@liamwilson-kainos are you still facing the issue ?

[liamwilson-kainos]

Hi @EXPEkesheth - yes still experiencing the issue. Thanks!

[EXPEkesheth]

Thanks ! Can you please provide the repro steps? Do you experience the issue when you do PUT after deleting search parameter?

[liamwilson-kainos]

Hi @EXPEkesheth - yes that is correct! The steps are

1. PUT request to {fhirHost}}/SearchParameter/location-operational-status with body mentioned above
2. DELETE request to {fhirHost}}/SearchParameter/location-operational-status
3. Second PUT request to {fhirHost}}/SearchParameter/location-operational-status with body mentioned above
