Re: Data import through API in zip format

 

Hello Morten,

first of all I forgot to mention that we are using version 2.21.

Yes, we tried sending the zip file, but no success. The server response was:

{
  "responseType": "ImportSummary",
  "status": "ERROR",
  "description": "The import process failed: Unrecognized token
'PK\u0003\u0004': was expecting ('true', 'false' or 'null')\n at [Source:
org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteInputStream@bdd767e; line: 1, column:
6]",
  "importCount": {
    "imported": 0,
    "updated": 0,
    "ignored": 0,
    "deleted": 0
  }
}

Regards,

Victor
