Sisense - REST API - republish Not Working + 500 Internal Server Error - json

Question

Using JAVA, I am trying to republish a dashboard to a particular User. It returns me HTTP status 500. Below is the code for it.
String sisenseURL = surl; // This is correct URL to POST API for PUBLISH
String urlParameters = "force=true";
byte[] postData = urlParameters.getBytes( StandardCharsets.UTF_8 );
int postDataLength = postData.length;
URL url = new URL( sisenseURL );
HttpURLConnection conn= (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
conn.setDoOutput(true);
conn.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
conn.setRequestProperty("Content-Length", Integer.toString(postDataLength ));
conn.setRequestProperty("Authorization", accessToken);
conn.setUseCaches(false);
try(DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(conn.getOutputStream())) {
wr.write( postData );
}
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream()));
final StringBuffer stringBuffer = new StringBuffer();
String line;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
stringBuffer.append(line);
}
in.close();
The request runs file with POSTMAN as well as with the Swagger UI for Sisense.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Here is a java example for sisense V6.7 of updating dashboard shares using the rest API
You didnt share your payload so not sure if thats the problem, but the example below worked for me.
I took the sendPostRequest code from here
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class Runner {
public static void main(String[] args){
try {
//Dashboard shares payload
String payload = "{\"sharesTo\":[{\"shareId\":\"58504c5221785b627cb4361d\",\"type\":\"user\",\"subscribe\":false},{\"shareId\":\"58505ba6ec4df9701a000019\",\"type\":\"user\",\"rule\":\"view\",\"subscribe\":false}]}";
String str = sendPostRequest(getDashboardUrl(), payload);
System.out.println("Done");
}
catch (RuntimeException e){
}
}
public static String sendPostRequest(String requestUrl, String payload) {
try {
URL url = new URL(requestUrl);
HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);
connection.setRequestMethod("POST");
connection.setRequestProperty("Accept", "application/json");
connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json; charset=UTF-8");
connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", getAuthorization());
OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream(), "UTF-8");
writer.write(payload);
writer.close();
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));
StringBuffer jsonString = new StringBuffer();
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
jsonString.append(line);
}
br.close();
connection.disconnect();
return jsonString.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e.getMessage());
}
}
public static String getDashboardUrl(){
//Sisense domain
String baseURL = "http://localhost:8081";
return baseURL + "/api/shares/dashboard/5850511cec4df9701a000013";
}
public static String getAuthorization(){
return "Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJ1c2VyIjoiNTg1MDRjNTIyMTc4NWI2MjdjYjQzNjFkIiwiYXBpU2VjcmV0IjoiOGUwZDIyOWItY2VmMS0xYTE4LTNhYWEtYmY1ZmE1ZmNkNTExIiwiaWF0IjoxNTE1MDEzMzkxfQ.zgx0Nv8YztfM2rm5WTCnJ0R6C_n5V-HNkEZgAcINfs4";
}
}
