Error handling

Last update: Wed Nov 10 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

CREATED FOR:

  • Developer

When a problem occurs while making a call to the Reactor API, an error may be returned in one of the following ways:

  • Immediate errors: When performing a request that results in an immediate error, an error response is returned by the API, with the HTTP status reflecting the general type of error that occurred.
  • Delayed errors: When performing an API request that results in a delayed error (such as an asynchronous activity), an error may be returned by the API in the meta.status_details of a related resource.

Error format

Error responses aim to conform to the JSON:API errors specification, and generally adhere to the following structure:

{
  "errors": [
    {
      "id": "8a5526da-ab12-4be9-b084-2efe537f388c",
      "status": "404",
      "code": "not-found",
      "title": "Record Not Found",
      "meta": {
        "request_id": "jfb0dQ2e0XVTkQ6AOfEJFfTDjguw9x3d"
      },
      "source": {
        "pointer": "/data"
      }
    }
  ]
}
Property
Description
id
A unique identifier for this particular occurrence of the problem.
status
The HTTP status code applicable to this problem, expressed as a string value.
code
An application-specific error code, expressed as a string value.
title
A short, human-readable summary of the problem that should not change from occurrence to occurrence, except for purposes of localization.
detail
A human-readable explanation specific to this occurrence of the problem. Like title, this field’s value can be localized.
source

An object containing references to the source of the error, optionally including any of the following members:

  • pointer: a JSON Pointer (RFC6901) string that references the associated entity in the request document (such as /data for a primary data object, or /data/attributes/title for a specific attribute).
meta
An object containing non-standard metadata about the error.

Error reference

The following table lists the different errors that the API can return.

Error title
Description
authentication-failure
Your IMS access token is invalid. You can get a new access token by signing in again. Or for technical accounts, generating a new JWT and swapping for an IMS access token.
connection-refused
A connection to the server could not be established.
decrypt-bad-passphrase
The data could not be decrypted with the provided passphrase.
decrypt-failed
The data could not be decrypted with the provided private key. Ensure the key works locally and that whitespace has been trimmed.
decrypt-no-data
The data cannot be decrypted without a private key. Please provide an encrypted private key.
delegate-descriptor-unresolved
The extension did not provide the expected definition of this delegate descriptor. The extension may need to be updated.
deleted-resources
The resources that you are trying to add to your Library have been deleted.
environment-in-use
An Environment can only be assigned to one Library at a time. Option 1 is to choose a different environment. Option 2 is to free up this Environment by moving the Library to another Environment or deleting the Library.
environment-required
Your Library must have an Environment assigned before you can create a Build.
extension-not-found
The extension that defines a data element or rule component is not included in the library. Ensure that all the required extensions have been added to your library.
extension-package-path-error
A path defined in extension.json was incorrectly constructed.
extension-package-transform-definition-error
You have defined an invalid transform for an object property. Each object property can have one transform defined and it must be a file transform or a function transform.
extension-package-zip-error
An error occurred while unzipping the ExtensionPackage or zipping the files for distribution.
host-in-use
A Host may not be deleted if one or more Environments are using it.
host-required
The Environment assigned to this Library does not have a valid Host. Check which Environment is assigned to your Library. Then assign a valid Host to that Environment.
host-type-error
Only SFTP Hosts need to have credentials verified before they can be used, so the pretest is only available for that Host type.
illegal-custom-code-transform
You are not allowed to use the customCode transform. Please specify a function or file transform.
ims-not-authorized
An unknown error occurred authorizing your account. Please try again later.
ims-session-error
There is an issue with the signed-in session. Please log out and log in again.
internal-error
An internal error occurred. Please wait a few minutes and try again. If the issue persists, please contact Client Care.
invalid-data_element
An invalid data element cannot be added to a library.
invalid-embed_code
Either this is not a valid embed code or you’re trying to link it to a development or staging environment. Dynamic Tag Management (DTM) embed codes can only be linked to production environments.
invalid-extension
An invalid extension cannot be added to a library.
invalid-extension_package_id
You can only modify some of the object properties of an Extension Package. You tried to modify one of the ones that is not allowed.
invalid-new-owner-org-id
The Org ID you tried to assign is not a valid Org ID.
invalid-org
Your active Org doesn’t have access to the API. Check that you’re using the correct Org.
invalid-rule
An invalid rule cannot be added to a library.
invalid-settings-syntax
A syntax error was encountered while parsing the settings JSON.
library-file-not-found
A required file defined in extension.json could not be found inside the zip package.
minification-error
The code could not be compiled due to invalid code.
multiple-revisions
Only one revision of each resource can be included in a library.
no-available-orgs
This user account does not belong to a product profile that has access to tags. Use the Admin Console to add this user to a product profile with tags rights.
not-authorized
This user account does not have the necessary permissions to perform this action.
not-found
The record could not be found. Verify the id of the object that you’re trying to retrieve.
not-unique
The name you are trying to use is already in use. For this resource, the ‘name’ property must be unique.
public-release-not-authorized
The public release of extensions is coordinated by launch-ext-dev@adobe.com. See the document on releasing extensions for more information.
read-only
This resource is read-only and cannot be modified.
session-timeout
The user session has expired. Please log out and log in again.
sftp-authentication-failed
Authentication failed for the SFTP connection.
sftp-connection-timeout
The SFTP connection has timed out.
sftp-exception
An exception was encountered when using SFTP to connect to the server.
sftp-status-exception
An SFTP exception was encountered while trying to communicate with the server.
socket-error
A socket error was encountered while trying to communicate with the server.
ssh-disconnect
The SSH session was disconnected.
timeout-error
The connection with the server timed out.
unknown-error
An unexpected error occurred. You can try again later or give Customer Care a call and explain what you were doing when it happened.
unsupported-custom-code-language
A custom code language was supplied that is not supported.
upgraded-extension-required
Once you’ve installed an extension upgrade, you must include it in all Libraries until the upgrade gets to Production. The only exception is if the extension has not been published yet.
upstream-build-required
A successful Build for the upstream Library is required before you can build this one.
