  • 1.  Cannot change asset data with JSON API

    Posted 11/29/22 09:49 AM
    Hi,

    I'm trying to change asset data with JSON API in Manage 8.8 environment, but can't get it working.

    When I'm POSTing following (using Postman):

    https://masdev.manage.mas1click.x.y/maximo/api/os/mxapiasset/_MTE4NzYvQkVERk9SRA--?lean=1&apikey=xxxxx&Content-type=application/json&x-method-override=PATCH&patchtype=MERGE&properties=*

    Body:
    {
    "description": "Centrifugal Pump 100GPM/60FTHD Changed Description"
    }

    It gives following response:

    {
    "Error": {
    "reasonCode": null,
    "message": "oslc#create_on_updateuri",
    "statusCode": "400"
    }
    }

    Authorisation and asset "href" should work, because when I send GET using exactly the same URL, it nicely shows the attributes of the the asset.

    Any ideas, how to get this working?

    I finally got it working. I had x-method-override and patchtype only in request's parameters, not in headers as they should be.

    Hi Hannu,

    Even i am getting the same error. As suggested in your rersponse i have updated  x-method-override and Patch type in Params instead of header. But i am still getting the same error message. Please find the below rest api url

    https://masdev.manage.inst1.apps.itz-bdtfpi.infra01-lb.dal14.techzone.ibm.com/maximo/api/os/mxasset/_MTE0NTAvQkVERk9SRA--?x-method-override=PATCH&patchtype=MERGE&properties=* 

    Please find the attached screen shot. Can you please help us on what we are missing to get the output?

    Try with PUT instead of POST.

    Hi, I think that x-method-override and Patch type should be in headers, not in params. Also try to use mxapiasset object structure instead of mxasset.

    Hi Hannu,

    Thanks for the information. It was working now. Everytime we need to give encrypted value like (_MTE0NTAvQkVERk9SRA--) instead of Assetnum in the URL. If we are going to update bulk records how we will do that with this encrypted values?

    Hi, you can use also BULK value in x-method-override. Haven't try it by myself, but more info can be found:
