Maximo Open Forum

Hi All,

I am facing an issue while integrating with Maximo Application Suite (MAS) via Postman. When I try to use the POST method to create a record, the request returns a 201 Created status code, but the data is not actually inserted into MAS.

There's not enough context here. There are APIs for MAS Core, Manage, Monitor, etc. And there are multiple API endpoints in Manage (SOAP, legacy maxrest REST API, the JSON API, etc.). 

Are you able to provide a sample URL & payload? For example:

POST https://MYMANAGEURL/maximo/api/os/mxapiwodetail?lean=1
Headers (if anything other than apikey)
Body:
{

"wonum":"ABC123",
"description":"My Description"
}


There is a lot of documentation on the Manage JSON API here: https://ibm-maximo-dev.github.io/maximo-restapi-documentation/ and https://community.ibm.com/community/user/asset-facilities/viewdocument/maximos-rest-api-aka-json-api-os?CommunityKey=ed77c224-45e2-47b0-b574-cc31496f9a41&tab=librarydocuments 

What will sometimes happen is people will leave off the ?lean=1 query parameter. That causes it to be an OSLC API request which requires completely different formatted bodies.
