When SOAP errors are returned, they are passed to the user via the XML interface in the form of a fault message. Fault messages are customized to provide error information that does not include any confidential details about the application.
For any other error codes, please contact us.
| Code | Message | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| -4600 | qaerr_XMLPARSEFAILURE Failure to parse XML. Returned if the SOAP action sent to the server does not conform to the WSDL file: commonly occurs if attributes and/or elements do not contain valid settings. The integration environment may not validate the SOAP action against the WSDL file, and so it is possible to pass values that are outside defined ranges or thresholds. | |
| -4650 | qaerr_SOAPHTTPPARSEFAILURE Failed to parse HTTP request. | |
| -4651 | qaerr_SOAPENVELOPEPARSEFAILURE Failed to parse SOAP envelope in request. | |
| -4652 | qaerr_SOAPENVELOPENOTPRESENT No envelope found in parsed XML. | |
| -4653 | qaerr_SOAPNAMESPACEMISMATCH SOAP namespace does not match. | |
| -4654 | qaerr_SOAPBODYNOTPRESENT No body could be found. | |
| -4655 | qaerr_SOAPREQUESTPARSEFAILURE Payload of message could not be parsed. | |
| -4660 | qaerr_XMLINVALIDACTION Invalid SOAP action. |
