Hi Team,

I created new type in Atlas , It was reflected in Atlas UI also

While adding new record for that type i am getting below error

"{"error":"Null value not allowed for multiplicty {lower=1, upper=1, isUnique=false} "

I am using below curl command

curl -i -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -u admin:admin 'http://localhost..net:21000/api/atlas/entities' -d @Datsetload1.json ;

[{ "jsonClass": "org.apache.atlas.typesystem.json.InstanceSerialization$_Reference", "id": { "jsonClass": "org.apache.atlas.typesystem.json.InstanceSerialization$_Id", "version": 0.5, "typeName": "SQLDataset3" }, "typeName": "SQLDataset3", "values": { "Name": "EBIA_Test", "Desc": "Analytics", "dataSet": "datast_dtl_Test", "dataSetType": "Peas_rr.datast_dtl", "Location": "This is the main Target table", "Criteria": "Normal", "rules": "Joining" , "InputFiles": "Primary Key" }, "traitNames": [], "traits": {} }]

Can you please help

Thanks in advance...!!!

Hi @Satya Nittala

I think normally the error you posted is followed by another message complaining about a value that is missing. Ex ;

{"error":"Null value not allowed for multiplicty {lower=1, upper=1, isUnique=false} . Message  Value expected for required attribute <XXXX>

Can you share how you created your type? That would help in reproducing your issue.

Otherwise, a good example of creating a type and then adding entities is shown here; https://community.hortonworks.com/articles/91237/creating-custom-types-and-entities-in-atlas.html

@Satya Nittala

As error message says , "{"error":"Null value not allowed for multiplicty {lower=1, upper=1, isUnique=false} " , the attribute is created with upper = 1 , lower = 1 , meaning , maximum and minimum number of values the attribute can have is 1. Hence, when no value is provided , Atlas throws exception.

Can you please share the type definition ( JSON posted to create the type) and the entity defintion (JSON posted to create the entity) ?
