Core Data Types Used in API Calls

An sObject represents an object, such as an Account or Campaign. For a list of standard objects, see Standard Objects.

An sObject has the following properties:

An ApiFault element contains information about a fault that occurs when processing a service request. The ApiFault element has the following properties.

The following table lists the API fault elements that represent all the API faults that can occur.

The following list of ExceptionCode values is defined in your WSDL file. Some codes don’t appear in your WSDL, depending on the features you have enabled.

API_CURRENTLY_DISABLED

Because of a system problem, API functionality is temporarily unavailable.

The specified language can't be used as a filter.

INVALID_FILTER_VALUE

A SOQL query with LIKE specified an invalid character, for example, an incorrectly placed asterisk (*). Correct the query and resubmit.

The date for replication is out of the allowed range, such as before the org was created.

NOT_MODIFIED

The describe call response has not changed since the specified date.

NO_SOFTPHONE_LAYOUT

If an org has the CTI feature enabled, but no softphone layout has been defined, this exception is returned if a describe call is issued. This exception is most often caused because no call center has been defined. A default softphone layout is created during call center definition.

If an org doesn’t have the CTI feature enabled, FUNCTIONALITY_NOT_ENABLED is returned instead.

NUMBER_OUTSIDE_VALID_RANGE

The number specified is outside the valid range for the field.

OPERATION_TOO_LARGE

The query has returned too many results. If certain queries are run by a user without the “View All Data” permission and many records are returned, the queries require sharing rule checking. For example, consider queries that are run on objects, such as Task, that use a polymorphic foreign key. These queries return this exception because the operation requires too many resources. To correct, add filters to the query to narrow the scope, or use filters such as date ranges to break the query up into a series of smaller queries.

ORG_LOCKED

The org has been locked. Contact Salesforce to unlock the org.

ORG_NOT_OWNED_BY_INSTANCE

TRIAL_EXPIRED

The trial period for the org has expired. A representative from the company must contact Salesforce to re-enable the org.

A method call was made that doesn’t exist in the accessed API version, for example, trying to use upsert() (new in 8.0) against version 5.0.

UNSUPPORTED_CLIENT

This version of the client is no longer supported.

An Error contains information about an error that occurred during a create(), merge(), process(), update(), upsert(), delete(), or undelete() call. For more information, see Error Handling. An Error has the following properties:

The following table lists API status codes that are returned with an error. Some codes don’t appear in your WSDL, depending on the features you have enabled.

ALL_OR_NONE_OPERATION_ROLLED_BACK

This option specifies a particular email address that automatically receives a copy of all outgoing email. When this option is enabled, you can’t BCC any other email address. To disable the option, log in to the user interface and from Setup, enter Compliance BCC Email in the Quick Find box, then select Compliance BCC Email.

BCC_SELF_NOT_ALLOWED_IF_BCC_COMPLIANCE_ENABLED

Your client application blind carbon-copied the logged-in user’s email address even though the org’s BCC COMPLIANCE option is set to true. This option specifies a particular email address that automatically receives a copy of all outgoing email. When this option is enabled, you can’t BCC any other email address.

SELF_REFERENCE_FROM_TRIGGER

You can't recursively update or delete the same object from an Apex trigger. This error often occurs when:

• You try to update or delete an object from within its before trigger.
• You try to delete an object from within its after trigger.

This error occurs with both direct and indirect operations. The following is an example of an indirect operation:

1. A request is submitted to update Object A.
2. A before update trigger on object A creates an object B.
3. Object A is updated.
4. An after insert trigger on object B queries object A and updates it. This update is an indirect update of object A because of the before trigger of object A, so an error is generated.

TOO_MANY_APEX_REQUESTS

Too many Apex requests have been sent. This error is transient. Resend your request after a short wait.

A request failed because too many values were passed in for a multi-select picklist. You can select a maximum of 100 values for a multi-select picklist.

TRANSFER_REQUIRES_READ

You can't assign the record to the specified User because the user does not have read permission.

UNABLE_TO_LOCK_ROW

A deadlock or timeout condition has been detected.

• A deadlock involves at least two transactions that are attempting to update overlapping sets of objects. If the transaction involves a summary field, the parent objects are locked, making these transactions especially prone to deadlocks. To debug, check your code for deadlocks and correct. Deadlocks are generally not the result of an issue with Salesforce operations.
• A timeout occurs when a transaction takes too long to complete, for example, when replacing a value in a picklist or changing a custom field definition. The timeout state is temporary. No corrective action is needed.

If an object in a batch can’t be locked, the entire batch fails with this error. Errors with this status code contain the IDs of the records that couldn’t be locked, when available, in the error message.

UNAVAILABLE_RECORDTYPE_EXCEPTION

The appropriate default record type could not be found.

UNDELETE_FAILED

An object could not be undeleted because it does not exist or has not been deleted.

UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION

The system encountered an internal error. Report this problem to Salesforce.

Do not report this exception code to Salesforce if it results from a sendEmail() call. The sendEmail() call returns this exception code when it is used to send an email to one or more recipients who have the Email Opt Out option selected.
