Error Handling

For any API, if error occurs, it should return appropriate HTTP status code. Examples:

• 401: If user is not authenticated or session is expired

• 403: If user is authenticated but does not have access to specified resource

• 404: If the resource user is trying to access is not available

Special handling for error codes:

• HTTP status code 401: OpsHub will assume that authenticated session has been invalidated and call initialize API to re-login.

Apart from the standard HTTP status code, API should also return the details of the errors if any custom error occurs during the processing of the request.

• MBSE SDK should send end system code if any is returned from the end system.

  • For example: If the validation of the request payload is failed, API can return 400 (Bad Request) response. The error response should also be sent along with the HTTP status.
