OTCS REST API Add a document with a Category with one or more required Attributes

Magagna_Mark

I am trying to build a script in .NET that will upload scanned documents from a folder to a given place in OTCS using the REST API. I have OTCS 2014-09.

The place is a Templated Workspace with a category attached that has required attributes, so documents uploaded there need to have attribute values or OTCS will refuse to add the documents.

I have attempted to upload the document to a different folder and then attach the category, but it fails at that point as well (probably because the required attributes don't have values at that point).

There was a thread that seemed to provide a solution where you use Content-type: multipart/form-data and your body is like the following:

-------------------------------28947758029299
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="body"

{ "type" : 144, "parent_id" : 55032739, "name" : "test", "roles" : { "categories" : { "68128" : { "68128_4" : "CLIENT_ID", "68128_5" : "UNIQUE_CLIENT_ID", "68128_12" : "Update/Inquiry", "68128_14" : "returned mail", "68128_17" : "Hackett, Jennifer", "68128_22" : 15092015 } } } }

-------------------------------28947758029299
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="SMALL01059001_15092015_Update@Inquiry_returned mail_62619_15092015_Oksana.Jacyla@peelregion.ca.pdf"
Content-Type: application/octet-stream

--file content goes here--

However this gives me a "Bad Request" response.

1. Am I at the correct patch level for something like this to work?
2. If I am, then what am I doing wrong?

Many thanks for any help on this.

This is a little embarrassing. It turns out that I was using the wrong category. In my defense, the categories were set up by someone else, and there are two categories with very similar names.

When OTCS came back with "Bad Request", what it really meant was "You haven't supplied the values for the required attributes."
