Error Handling

The SAP CC system may return an error classified into a category and an error stack detailing the issue and its cause.

Categories and Treatments to Implement

Consider the following error categories to design and implement the appropriate behavior of your connected application or system:

Error Category Description Error Handling
Already Exists The data has to be created but another data already exists in the connected SAP CC system with the same type and the same identifier.

Applicable for this service operation: You implement the logging of this error to enable a system administrator or a consultant to investigate and resolve the issue. Data replication or data synchronization mechanisms may failed.

Next follows a non-exhaustive list of errors related to the Already Exists category:

  • The prepaid account already exists

Does Not Exist The data to be modified or deleted does not exist in the connected SAP CC system.

Applicable for this service operation:

Next follows a non-exhaustive list of errors related to the Does Not Exist category:

  • The subscriber account with the identifier specified does not exist in SAP CC

Invalid The request or the data is invalid.

Applicable for this service operation:

Next follows a non-exhaustive list of errors related to the Invalid category:

  • The prepaid account cannot be maintained to comply with the object in the maintain request
  • A field such as the currency code is invalid
  • The prepaid account does not exist and a required field is missing such as the identifier or the identifier of the related subscriber account

Incompatible Configuration The configuration of the connected SAP CC system is not compatible with the data specified in the operation request and the scope of the request. Creating or correcting the prerequisite configuration data (master data, business data) has to be done in the SAP CC system with the Core Tool user interface or within your connected application or system.

Applicable for this service operation:

Prerequisite Missing Another data mandatory for the operation is not available or is not compatible with the data specified in the operation request. Create a prerequisite for the data.

Applicable for this service operation: The prerequisite data is managed outside the SAP CC system.

Illegal State The operation request is valid but was rejected because of the current state of the data in the connected SAP CC system which prevents the execution of the request. The current state of the complete system can be also the origin of the error.

Applicable for this service operation: The request will not succeed without a required manual correction or change in the SAP CC system. You implement error logging and manual retry mechanisms.

Temporary Illegal State The valid request was rejected because of the temporarilly illegal state of the data in the connected SAP CC system. The data state may automatically change without any further notification. This is a subcategory of Illegal State category. The state of a data is temporarilly illegal but the operation request can be sent again after a waiting period. The current state of the complete system can be also the origin of the error.

Applicable for this service operation: You can implement an automated resend function.

Note

This list of errors is not exhaustive: consider the technical details of the operation response.
