IJ17842: CANNOT DELETE PO LINE USING MAXIMO JSON POST REQUEST

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM:
  We cannot delete a POLINE when we send a delete JSON
  message to Maximo RESTFUL service.
       There is no error in the Maximo logs and the HTTP
  response from Maximo is as if POST was executed without any
  issue. But POLINE is not deleted.
       If we post the similar message to the MXPR object
  structure, PRLINE is successfully deleted.
  
  
  STEPS TO REPLICATE:
        a. Create a new PO (PO status is WAPPR),
       b. Add two new POLINEs and save the PO,
       c. POST the message (as below) to the Maximo.
       Method = POST
       URL =
  http://hostname:port/maximo/oslc/os/mxpo?_lid=maxadmin&_lpwd=max
  admin&lean=1
       Head:
       x-method-override: SYNC
       patchtype: MERGE
       Content-Type: application/json
       Body:
       {
             "ponum": "1005",
            "siteid": "BEDFORD",
             "poline": [
           {
             "ponum": "1005",
             "polinenum": 2,
             "siteid": "BEDFORD",
             "_action": "Delete"
  
            }
          ]
       }
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
       User should be able to delete PO Line (status = WAPPR)
  via REST API POST message.
