Using the document above (Register a file object) and are unable to register any file in a TDM portal.
Getting "Unsupported Media Type" errors.
Tried both XML and CSV files being uploaded via Postman to from local machine to portal. Getting below error:
"415 UNSUPPORTED_MEDIA_TYPE",
"errorMsg": "Server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details",
"errorDetail": "",
"timestamp": "2020-05-07T15:00+0000"
}
Environment
TDM Portal API
Test Data Manager
Cause
"Unsupported media type" error message is generated because Content Type is missing from the body.
Resolution
Set the Key name to file and changed the content type (this option is hidden by default in Postman) for the body key to be application/json (make sure you set the checkboxes for file and body to true)
