Hi Louis,
When creating an Unclassified document, the file, type__v, and lifecycle__v body parameters are only allowed:
There is a subsection in our documentation specifically about creating Unclassified documents through the API:
https://developer.veevavault.com/api/22.1/#create-single-documentI would also recommend using our Postman collection to test as well. This is updated every release to include new platform API features:

Hi Isak,
Thank you for your recommendation. I will refer to suggested API to upload document, i.e., https://developer.veevavault.com/api/22.1/#create-single-document.
I can use Postman to test the API. However, I am now planning to build the coding program in Java to integrate this API into our internal system. Before the integration, I want to confirm the request body on multipart/form-data format in java for our REST API. Could you please provide a help on this?
Please kindly refer to below and let me know if any correction is required. Thank you so much!

Hi Louis,
First, I would strongly recommend using Vapil to help you build Vault API calls in Java. Here is the more information about that:
https://developer.veevavault.com/docs/#vault-api-libraryAs far as your API call, it looks fine to me from what I can tell. The main benefit of using the Postman collection is that you can test your parameters for your API call and then code it appropriately.
