Description

We have to update the existing BI Objects but updateObject service is not updating full report object, but only update Report schema. When we use uploadObject, it is not allowing overwrite existing object. Can we get "Overwrite existing Object" flag in web service (CatalogService) as like UI.

    This is very much needed. Otherwise this API is not of much use unless we have an override option to update the existing objects. Without that, it's only useful to upload the objects for the first time only.

    This Idea is a 'Must Have' to allow autnomous deployment (ex via Azure Pipeline, jenkins or any other like flexdeploy). Current ulpoad API can upload only xdoz and xdmz and does not allow override. Overriding by API must be possible in the same way we do when we upload manually. (delete/create report can not be an Option )
