How can we re-deploy modified decision definition at runtime using rest ?

All deployment calls
can be found here in the docs
“create” will help you

Thanks @Niall for your reply. While creating the deployment I am getting below error:

ENGINE-16004 Exception while closing command context: The deployment contains definitions with the same key ‘decisionTest’ (id attribute), this is not allowed

can you please upload
the DMN file you used
and i’ll try to help

5

Sure.
file2.dmn (1.2 KB)

This is a dummy dmn file which are trying to check if a modified dmn can be uploaded again as per one of our usecase.

Thanks again.

That should work just fine
It’s quite a common use case
I will test it now

Deploying was fine.
An update also worked to
You can see versions:

I used the same call
changed the model between calls
no problem occurred

Could it be that you added the same file twice to the deployment? That would explain the exception.
