load new category values into RQM using REST
We followed the documentation in
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/vilew/Main/RQMURLUtility
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Troubleshooting
We used FireFox ResetClient to invstigate an existing category in order to create an input XML file as specified here:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Generated_ID
We identified the XML presentation of a category using this url:
https://129.35.209.200:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/JKE+Banking+%28Quality+Management%29/category
In order to insert a new category to an active RQM project, we created an XML
We send the following command:
java -jar RQMUrlUtility.jar -command POST -user clmadmin -password XXXXX -context qm -filepath /home/maroshi/Downloads/RQM-Extras-RQMUrlUtil-4.0.1/categoryPostRequest.xml -url https://129.35.209.200:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/JKE+Banking+%28Quality+Management%29/category/cat1
cat1 is the category type
Our categoryPostRequest.xml context is:

We fail with response 401, we do not know how to further investigate and get better diagnostic response.
1. Please advise what is the correct request URI
2. Please advise what is the content of the correct categoryPostRequest.xml
Accepted answer
It's hard to determine the root cause without the QM log. One thing to check would be if the category type exists.
Note, a POST request should not contain an external ID (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#id).

javax.xml.bind.UnmarshalException
- with linked exception:
[org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.]
Looks like categoryPostRequest.xml did not contain the XML prolog. If it did, please remove it.
One other answer
Your request/XML looks good. The problem is the 401 (Unauthorized) response code suggesting your user does not have sufficient privileges to create categories.
