Integrating Issue with OpenText using Outsystem Platform Application

CWTT

Hello Community Peeps,

I am using Outsytems Platform Application to integrate with OpenText Extended ECM Content Server.

The REST API that I am consuming is https://developer.opentext.com/ce/products/extended-ecm/apis/content-server-231-rest-api#nodes/createNode2 (POST | /v2/nodes) with the intent of uploading a document to Opentext. On the Outsystems Platform Application, the REST API is consumed with the request format of multipart/form-data.

I am unable to upload the document and the error message that I am getting is "An illegal attempt was made to upload a document."

Anyone has encountered this issue and have a solution?

OT will not allow the File (the one that is sitting on your computer) to be directly referenced as a File Path. So when you use the Postman you will see that the correct way is to supply the file as a parameter.OT uses a JSON String called body (not the HTML body) and the File in a multipart to get that done. In some of the programming forums, we have put code. in the api docs, you or your programmer should really look at IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

I believe in my blog livelink.in have written a heavily commented Java sample that shows the form data put.Modern developer assume JSON as the way to do everything but CS uses a fake JSON in a multipart to get that done.
