Thanks.

I am still, however, having problems.

I started a new GSH session and used it to prove to myself
that the attribute is defined and has the name I gave it:

gsh 1% grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.GrouperSession:
ab9bcf5e8d344e76a3db165491e7b23f,'GrouperSystem','application'
gsh 2% a =
AttributeDefNameFinder.findByName("Communities:LVC:LSC:MOU:mouFullName",
true);
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.attr.AttributeDefName:
AttributeDefName[name=Communities:LVC:LSC:MOU:mouFullName,uuid=bf42403a350b4649862b776f3dac660f]

I think that means that the attribute is defined and ready to
use, correct?

So I then sent in this JSON via POST to

grouper-ws/servicesRest/json/v1_6_000/attributeAssignments :

{
"WsRestAssignAttributesLiteRequest":{
"actAsSubjectId":"GrouperSystem",
"attributeAssignOperation":"assign_attr",
"attributeAssignType":"stem",
"attributeAssignValueOperation":"assign_value",
"valueSystem":"University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee",
"wsAttributeDefNameName":"Communities:LVC:LSC:MOU:mouFullName",
"wsOwnerStemName":"Communities:LVC:LSC:MOU:UWM"
}
}

The idea is to give the stem Communities:LVC:LSC:MOU:UWM the
attribute Communities:LVC:LSC:MOU:mouFullName with value
'University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee'.

I received this (shortened) exception back:

edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.exception.GroupNotFoundException:
Cant find group by uuid: null

Any idea on what I am doing wrong?

Let me know if you want to see the entire stack trace or the
full JSON that came back.

Thanks,

Scott

P.S. I checked that the stem really does exist:

gsh 6% s = StemFinder.findByName(grouperSession,
"Communities:LVC:LSC:MOU:UWM", true);
stem: name='Communities:LVC:LSC:MOU:UWM'
displayName='Communities:LVC:LSC:MOU:UWM'
uuid='1e15cfc4-318f-4bc7-9b4d-27e831ae7583'
