Environment

 

CDA Version: 24․4․2

WebServiceRest Version: 4․6․13+build․1720618814644

 

Cause

DE182013

A problem was fixed on  the Automic Automation / REST Agent Integration where, in some cases, the target REST API (a.e. if working on CDA REST API) failed to respond correctly if on a POST request json data was passed as with direct input. This was fixed by passing data as a byte array instead.

Resolution

Update to a fix version listed below or a newer version if available.

Fix version:

Component(s): Integration Rest 24.2.0
