How to use UpdateAsset to submit a a User request with Purview workflow

Alessandro Armillotta 0

Hi all.

I'm trying to use purview API to submit an user request for UpdateAsset.

Unfortunately I'm having error to submit a request with rest API.

This is the json body that I'm using but I don't know how to proceed for the UpdateAsset

body = {
  "operations": [
    {
      "type": "UpdateAsset",
      "payload": { 

      }
    }
  ],
  "comment": "Thanks!",
    "status": "ACTIVE"
}

This is the error that I'm receiving.

Can anyone help me to understand what the request what in the payload to submit an update for an Asset Description?

Thank you

Another strange thing that happened is : I created a workflow to approve asset changes but if I try to run an update with the API, the workflow doesn't intercepts the changes and the asset is updated. If I try to change the asset description from the portal, the workflow intercepts the changes, and the request is under the workflow to be accepted or rejected.

Is this a BUG? or I'm missing something?

Hi Alessandro Armillotta ,

It seems like you are trying to use the Purview API to submit a request for UpdateAsset, but you are having trouble with the JSON body and receiving an error. In your initial query, you might have missed mentioning the exact error message you are receiving. Could you please update the query by adding error message for better understanding.

Kindly check if the below blogpost helps in the process of understanding how to update purview data asset using rest api :

Regarding your second question, it's difficult to say without more information. It's possible that there is a bug or misconfiguration in your workflow that is preventing it from intercepting API updates. I would recommend checking the workflow configuration and logs to see if there are any errors or issues that could be causing this behavior.

Thankyou

Hello @Alessandro Armillotta , I have noticed that you did not add the asset Id that you are trying to update from the screenshot shared. I also see that you are using attribute entities, should this be entity instead as indicated on this doc.

Hi @Pauline Mbabu ,

it seems that using entity instead of entities in the payload is not the correct solution, since we get this error:
{'error': {'code': 'Workflow.DecodingFailure', 'message': "Invalid value for: body (UpdateAsset).payload.entities(missing at 'operations[0]')"}}

entities seems a required argument inside the payload.

We tried also inserting the guid as follows:

but the error is still present:

{'error': {'requestId': '3ea14555-aa4c-48e7-b1b6-1d683f39515b', 'code': 'Workflow.DataCatalogError.InvalidJsonRequestPayload', 'message': "Invalid Json request payload: '.entities(missing)'"}}

Any suggestions?
