Cisco DNA Center API -- Problems creating Buildings SITEs

christian.heussen — Fri, 01 Oct 2021 09:47:50 GMT

I try to create a Building via Rest-Call with the next JSON-payload:

{
   "type": "building",
   "site": {
      "building": {
            "name": "Test_Building",
            "address": "123 Main Street",
            "parentName": "Global/TestArea",
            "latitude": "51.0458",
            "longitude": "5.6413"
      }
   }
}

Then I receive the response:

{
    "executionId": "e52a559f-f1cc-48c1-90b0-3250db9cdf08",
    "executionStatusUrl": "/dna/platform/management/business-api/v1/execution-status/e52a559f-f1cc-48c1-90b0-3250db9cdf08",
    "message": "The request has been accepted for execution"
}

When I look for the status of the execution i receive this information:

{
    "bapiKey": "50b5-89fd-4c7a-930a",
    "bapiName": "Create Site",
    "bapiExecutionId": "e52a559f-f1cc-48c1-90b0-3250db9cdf08",
    "startTime": "Fri Oct 01 09:44:55 UTC 2021",
    "startTimeEpoch": 1633081495275,
    "endTime": "Fri Oct 01 09:44:55 UTC 2021",
    "endTimeEpoch": 1633081495558,
    "timeDuration": 283,
    "status": "FAILURE",
    "bapiError": "{\n  \"bapiErrorResponse\" : {\n    \"bapiKey\" : \"50b5-89fd-4c7a-930a\",\n    \"bapiName\" : \"Create Site\",\n    \"bapiErrorCode\" : \"\",\n    \"bapiErrorMessage\" : \"\"\n  },\n  \"componentErrorResponse\" : [ {\n    \"compId\" : \"uuid0bb941aa\",\n    \"compName\" : \"CreateBuildingInput\",\n    \"compErrorCode\" : \"500\",\n    \"compErrorMessage\" : \"e52a559f-f1cc-48c1-90b0-3250db9cdf08 | c0ef82aa-3d0e-4665-b228-27896b955918 | 50b5-89fd-4c7a-930a : ScriptProcessor Execution Failed with error: SyntaxError: Invalid JSON: <json>:1:0 Expected json literal but found <\\n<!--# Id: internetaccess.html 292306 2021-08-05 16:06:16Z szhang -->\\n^ in <eval>  at line number : 16 \",\n    \"componentType\" : \"JAVASCRIPT_TRANSFORM\"\n  } ]\n}",
    "runtimeInstanceId": "DNACP_Runtime_7421398c-8fa0-4703-b900-4b0305b719b5"
}

It works as expected when I use the same call to create an area or floor.

Only when trying to create a building I get this error.

DNAC is on version 2.1.2.5 and Cisco DNA Center Platform is on version 1.3.99.272.

Hello @christian.heussen,

I found a very similar case as yours, presented as a bug:
