ambari cluster + what is the right syntax in order to upload json file

[#1]

hi all

we have ambari cluster Version 2.5.0.3 , while all clients machines are Linux redhat

first I generated the json file to my Linux machine as the following: ( on ambari server machine )

curl -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" -X GET -u admin:admin http://130.14.6.28:8080/api/v1/clusters/HDP01\?format\=blueprint > blueprint.json

then I update the blueprint.json file with some changes about the parameters and their values

finally my target is to upload the new blueprint.json to ambari cluster in order to take affect !

path=/root

curl -H "X-Requested-By: ambari" --data @ -X POST -u admin:admin http://130.14.6.28:8080/api/v1/blueprints/HDP01 -d @$path/blueprint.json

but I get the following errors ( seems because wrong syntax )

Warning: Couldn't read data from file "", this makes an empty POST. { "status" : 400, "message" : "Invalid Request: Malformed Request Body. An exception occurred parsing the request body: Unexpected character ('&' (code 38)): expected a valid value (number, String, array, object, 'true', 'false' or 'null')\n at [Source: java.io.StringReader@4a3484a6; line: 1, column: 3]"

please advice what is wrong in my syntax ? and what is the right syntax in order to upload the new update blueprint.json file

how it can be if we delete the blueprint.json and upload the new one but still ambari GUI show the old values ?
