Functions in Function app reversal

Krishnamohan Nadimpalli 396

Hi

I am new to function apps and Deployment.

I had an existing function app which has two Functions dtr_raw_sql_push and dtr_copy_data. Now I wanted to create a new function dtr_raw_mysql_push . So I created new function in VS Code and Deployed to above function app. But this has deleted the existing functions dtr_raw_sql_push and dtr_copy_data. And I want to retrieve them. Please help me in this. There is not source control as such for the above Function app.

@Krishnamohan Nadimpalli ,

Unfortunately, the source code of the functions dtr_raw_sql_push and dtr_copy_data cannot be retrieved. As you mentioned, the new deployment would overwrite the existing functions, this is by design. It is recommended to create multiple functions inside one function app and deploy them at once. You can configure source control using github/git and build a CI/CD pipeline to automate the deployment process.

Hope this helps!

Hi @MughundhanRaveendran-MSFT

Thanks for explaining, but the underlying storage accounts has some Json files with the name dtr_copy_data. Is there a way to retrieve through this?

Or if I raise a support ticket, will the Microsoft team be able to help on that. I need that function pretty badly.

@Krishnamohan Nadimpalli , When you deploy a function app from VS code to Azure functions runtime, only the binaries/executable/dll files gets deployed. Please note that, the entire source code will not be deployed. From the json files, you wont be able to restore the code. If you have WEBSITE_RUN_FROM_PACKAGE app setting enabled with the SAS url of the zip package, then you can retreive the zip file that was deployed. So please check your Function app configuration if it has the above setting with the url value .

Apart from this, there is an option to Download app content from the portal, please check if that helps
