Hi Michal,

Is this the error encountered after parsing the response or this is the raw response from http?

It is raw response from HTTP. For now I do not have any response after parsing JSON for output parameters.

JSON body sent to API is:

{
"brandName": "[Brand Name]",
"geo": "[Geo]",
"country": "[Country]",
"mdNr": "[MDC Number]",
"createdDate": "[Today]",
"contractName": "[Contract Name]",
"projectName": "[Project Name]",
"submitterName": "[Submitter Name]",
"requesterName": "[Requester Name]",
"lob": "[LOB]",
"organization": "[R/NR]",
"requestDescription": "[Description]",
"reqType": "[Request type]",
"qtrYearNeeded": "[Quarter and Year]",
"authorizationQtrYear": "[Quarter and Year]",
"siteLocation": "[Site Location]",
"is3rdParty": [Leasing?],
"country2": "[Country2]",
"submitterBackup": "[Backup]",
"soCommercial": [SO Commercial?],
"sapCostCenter": "[Cost Center]",
"sapWbsElement": "[WBS Element]",
"sapRequestingOrder": "[Req order]",
"sapWorkStartDate": "[SAP Work Start Date]",
"sapWorkEndDate": "[SAP Work End Date]",
"profitCenter": "[Division Code]"
}

And it is working when I put the original JSON format:

{
             "brandName": "CHQ - CIO",
             "geo": "Americas",
             "country": "ARGENTINA",
             "mdNr": "20M74421557.1",
             "createdDate": "2019-12-26",
             "contractName": "GBS Budget Project",
             "projectName": "ProjectX",
             "submitterName": "[email protected]",
             "requesterName": "[email protected]",
             "lob": "lob_for_test_BLA",
             "organization": "ORG_for_tes_arg",
             "requestDescription": "test reo",
             "reqType": "reqType_for_Test_arg",
             "qtrYearNeeded": "2Q2019",
             "authorizationQtrYear": "2Q2019",
             "siteLocation": "dsf",
             "is3rdParty": 1,
             "country2": "BANGLADESH",
             "submitterBackup": "[email protected]",
             "soCommercial": 1,
             "sapCostCenter": "uh",
             "sapWbsElement": "bnj",
             "sapRequestingOrder": "iuh",
             "sapWorkStartDate": "2019-06-21",
             "sapWorkEndDate": "2019-06-22",
             "profitCenter": "abc",
             "extRefNumber": "zxce"
}

I see. I am guessing one of the parameters might be causing the issue. I would suggest to try to identify which parameter might be causing the issue by comparing the two requests.
Also, Can you hardcode only is3rdParty and soCommercial in your json request and pass all the remaining parameters as earlier and see if that works. I am suspecting it to be issue related to data type.

Hi Shashank,

I got it. I didn't know that I cannot use the "?" in the parameter name

Hi Shashank,

An observation,

Although we have supplied some of the common parameters and common headers with Data Type: Password, still their values are displayed in the Response Data Output, Can you please confirm whether this is a defect.

@Manish Rawat I've opened this as a suggested change with the product team. At the moment, I think this is the way the solution is designed, but I would say it's not optimal from a security perspective.

Cheers,
