Posted on by Srividya

I'm trying to add items to the work queue and this is my JSON input:
{
"V_Code": "%V_Code_Count%",
"Count": "%Count%",
"Path": "%Path%",
"File_Name": "%File_Name%"
}

and the same is mentioned in the work queue as well

when I'm trying to add the item to the queue, it throws an error that says, "The work queue item input is not a valid JSON or XML"

is something wrong with my JSON input?

Hi,

The root cause here is that your work queue does not have a JSON format schema. Open up your work queue and look at the settings. Unfortunately, you cannot change the schema type once it is created so you will need to create a new one. Notice here in this example, the schema was created with none. It is grayed out and cannot be changed.

That said, there's nothing wrong with your JSON - it is accurate so it's definitely the work queue itself.

Hi @trice602 and @Nived_Nambiar,

Thanks for your responses, I did input the schema in the work queue, the issue was with one of the values (Path) in the input schema, which contained backslash (\).
After replacing it with a different character, it worked.

Thanks!
