Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
Status:404 Not Found

How can Kerberos Authentication be enabled to work with RA Agents such as the Web Service Agent or the Hadoop Agent?

Investigation

No matter what kind of Web Service job is executed, it returns the same error:
 

Status:404 Not Found

The Connection URL Endpoint is this:

http://ap-hdpen1t.oneadr.net:11000/oozie/v1/jobs?action=start

But the report says this:

http://ap-hdpen1t.oneadr.net:11000/oozie/v1/jobs%3Faction=start

Please note, that the ? in the URL is translated into %3F in the report. This may cause the job to fail with the above error message.

Environment

OS Version: N/A

Cause

Cause type:
Defect
Root Cause: The endpoint URL needs to be split into 3 places
1) Base URL
2) Resource
3) Query parameters

Resolution

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

The WS3 REST Agent creates the Endpoint URL from 3 separate places.

1. Base URL 
2. Resource 
3. Query parameters

The solution is to move the query parameter to the tab called "Headers & Query Parameters" in the connection object.
