Re: Problem Posting to XML to Web API

 

I still get an error when I try with the following, I’ve attached a copy of the complete stack trace.

<organisationUnit id="IheTV7ihHgI" level="6" name="Test2" shortName="TEST2" xmlns="http://dhis2.org/schema/dxf/2.0";>
	<externalAccess>false</externalAccess>
	<openingDate>2015-05-20T23:00:00.000+0000</openingDate>
	<displayName>BAO Test</displayName>
	<parent id="Iu06qlak3ZY" />
</organisationUnit>

or this 

<organisationUnit id="IheTV7ihHgI" level="6" name="Test" shortName="TEST" xmlns="http://dhis2.org/schema/dxf/2.0";>
	<externalAccess>false</externalAccess>
	<openingDate>2015-05-20T23:00:00.000+0000</openingDate>
	<displayName>BAO Test</displayName>
	<parent id="OqNfa8dQ546" />
	<users/>
	<organisationUnitGroups/>
	<children/>
	<dataSets/>
	<userGroupAccesses/>
</organisationUnit>

Why this is, however, I do not know. We are currently looking into a separate AttributeValue-related issue with the importer, which could be related.
