Hi Atul,

If you are using an on-premise events service, can you reproduce the issue and attach the events service log?

Nevermind, this looks to be communication with SAAS analytics.

let me reproduce this locally and get back.

I don't think analytics supports to create nested structured schema yet. I tried the flat json which seems to work.

curl -X POST \
  https://analytics.api.appdynamics.com/events/schema/games1 \
  -H 'accept: application/vnd.appd.events+json;v=2' \
  -H 'cache-control: no-cache' \
  -H 'content-type: application/vnd.appd.events+json;v=2' \
  -H 'postman-token: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' \
  -H 'x-events-api-accountname: eumanalytics_xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' \
  -H 'x-events-api-key: ed22e5da-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' \
  -d '{ 
    "schema": {
       "id": "string",
       "sessionID": "string",
       "transaction_flow": "string",
       "transactionid": "string",
       "transactiontype": "string",
       "requestorid": "string",
       "recordlocator": "string",
       "pseudocity": "string"
       "responsetime":"integer"
    }
}'

OK Thanks for confirming that only currently AppD supports only a flat schema; not a nested one.
