**Wowza Streaming Engine Version 4.7.4 (build 21380)**

**21380**

Trying to add a stream target to a specific application using the Rest API, I have managed to create the target but for some reason that new target gets duplicated on all existing applications.

I am using the following post call:

**[http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/](http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/)_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/app\_name/pushpublish/mapentries/target\_name**

json:

**{**

**"sourceStreamName": “myStream”,**

**"profile": “rtmp”,**

**"host": “[rtmp-api.facebook.com](http://rtmp-api.facebook.com)”,**

**"streamName": “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx”,**

**"port": 80,**

**"application": “app\_name”,**

**"entryName" : “target\_name”,**

**"enabled":“false”,**

**"extraOptions": {**

**"destinationName": "rtmp"**

**}**

**}**

It sounds like you have your applications set to use the default PushPublishMap.txt file located in the conf/ directory. You can configure each application to use application-level map files by configuring the following property on the application:

```auto
Path: /Root/Application
Name: pushPublishMapPath
Type: String
Value: ${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/${com.wowza.wms.context.Application}/PushPublishMap.txt

```

Would you mind clarifying @Michelle B for the location? Is it in the config/ directory?

@Michelle B Every time I set the property in the API request when I create the application, I receive 500 error code.

my API request is:

```auto
http://localhost:8087/v2/servers/_defaultServer_/vhosts/_defaultVHost_/applications/app_name

```

```auto
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Application serverName="_defaultServer_">
    	<AppType>Live</AppType>
    	<Description>Live Streaming application created by wowza.</Description>
    	<Properties>
    		<Property>
    			<Path>/Root/Application</Path>
    			<Name>pushPublishMapPath</Name>
    			<Type>String</Type>
    			<Value>${com.wowza.wms.context.VHostConfigHome}/conf/${com.wowza.wms.context.Application}/PushPublishMap.txt</Value>
    		</Property>
	</Properties>
</Application>

```

Could you please help.
