AEP Update a Mapping Set API Timestamp/ID Error

[Kim_R]

We're working to migrate to CJA from Analytics and considering mapping our Adobe Analytics Connector into a custom schema.  One downside is the mapping process during the dataflow setup.  Ideally we won't have to do this manually through the UI.  I'm testing out the Update a Mapping Set API and I keep getting errors such as "Bad request parameters or payload. Please check your request and try again. Additional detail: The following unmapped paths are required: _id, timestamp. Please include the required paths and try again."  I have not been successful so far in adjusting to avoid the errors.

Has anyone seen this before?  Maybe share the body of a successful request?

I have not worked with AA connector, but I think the event dataset by default as both "timestamp" and "_id" as required fields (please check at your end in your schema). So, these 2 fields you have to fill in the the request body.

You can do a quick test where:

• Key in a proper datetime field into "timestamp" field
• Hash out any id into "id" field

- if this passes through, you would know!

Hope this helps!
