This like some sort of issue with the REST client. Try the same thing using CURL as the rest client.

Copy and past: { "enumTypes": [], "structTypes": [], "traitTypes": [ { "superTypes": [], "hierarchicalMetaTypeName": "org.apache.atlas.typesystem.types.TraitType", "typeName": "TagColumn_56_Api", "attributeDefinitions": [ { "testAttrKey": "TestAttrValue" } ] } ], "classTypes": [] }

into a file called payload.json.

curl -u admin:admin -d @payload.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST http://192.168.1.56:21000/api/atlas/types

Let me know if that works.

@Vadim Vaks Thanks for the reply. I added the "X-XSRF-HEADER:valid" header and it worked in postman. 🙂 But from other Rest Client say "Advanced Rest Client", it worked without this header. And with the CURL its working fine as you said.

When using postman you may have to add the below header for POST requests. GET requests work without this header.

X-XSRF-HEADER:valid

Thanks for the answer. I added the said header and it worked in postman. :) But from other Rest Client say "Advanced Rest Client", it worked without this header.
