Hi --

I am attempting to use the bulk update capability of the RQM API.  I have used RQM 4.0.3 and RQM 4.0.4.  Here is what I am doing:

        </category>
    </entry>
</feed>

I keep receiving the following error:

400 bad request / No feed entries in the bulk upload request.

I have used Poster (Firefox) and Postman (Chrome) and received the same results.

Am I doing something wrong?  Can someone provide me with a working example of using the bulk update portion of the API?

Thanks

Dan,
when you fetch the feed for your example, be sure to use "abbreviate=false", e.g.:
https://localhost:9443/jazz/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/test/category?abbreviate=false

Then, you'll see you're missing a tag inside <entry>, namely:
 <content type="application/xml">

</content>

That will do it for you.

WINNER!!

Thanks for the answer!  You are correct ... I did miss the <content> tags.

That did the trick!!  Thank you.

Without looking deeper into the request itself, this is not a valid section of XML. Remove the <br=""> portion. Does that help?

Unfortunately, the paste didn't come across correctly.  The <category> tab is correctly formatted.

Thanks.
