SUMMARY:
This document shows one known issue that "405 Method Not Allowed" error message appears when attempting to capture response from REST JSON data source with POST method in Strategy XQuery Editor and Generator (XEG) 10.x. The workaround would be to generate XQuery with GET method in XEG and manually change the request method to POST in Strategy XQuery report.
SYMPTOM:
