Hi Team,

When I try update asset metadata field using Rest API(PATCH Method) it throughs exception like

Test Sample :

Method : PATCH

uri : https://<ServURL>/otmmapi/v6/assets/id?lock_strategy=optimistic

Body :

Field Details :

I am not sure what could be the issue here.

logs shows

Hi Apparao,

I presume you created a session first ad have that in your Headers?

In your REST call: "uri : https://<ServURL>/otmmapi/v6/assets/id?lock_strategy=optimistic", do you have the actual asset ID in place where you have id? (that may be a v5 format)

This is what I have for an update in a v5 call (using Postman):

swAsswtId is a variable holding the asset ID

swAssetName is a variable holding the string to put in the "ARTESIA.FIELD.ASSET NAME" field

If v6 is to have "id" as a parameter value in the URL, then I would imagine that where you have

"asset_identifier": "CHAR", that needs to have "asset_identifier": "< string of the asset ID>"
