Service fabric upgrade

Question

I have a service fabric application type deployed to a cluster. This is working ok. I have recently refactored the code and and changed the deployed application-name from A.. to B.. i.e. changed the application name in the type. After deploying to the cluster the following error is shown:

The update of 'ServiceTypeName' is not allowed. Current value 'A..' , Target value 'B..'. (Code: UpdateNotAllowed). 

Any idea how to fix it I have tried deleting the old application type from the cluster before the update but that hasn't help.

Answer 1

Deploy a new instance (instead of upgrading) and use backup & restore to copy the data.
