I replaced POST to PUT , Even i am getting error , Can u please help on this

[#2 · Accepted solution]

I think you are using the wrong API. I believe you need to use PUT /v2/types/typedefs - see https://atlas.apache.org/api/v2/ui/index.html#!/TypesREST/resource_TypesREST_updateAtlasTypeDefs_PUT

To see the current definition of have_table you can do GET http://localhost:21000/api/atlas/v2/types/typedef/name/hive_table

@Laura Ngo , Thanks for u r quick response,

I tried with POST and http://localhost:21000/api/atlas/v2/types/typedef/name/hive_table,

Command executed fine and no errors are showing

But new value is not reflected , Still its showing old attributes for that table

New attribute not added

Can you please help on this...!!!

Thanks in Advance
