Core Data Types Used in API Calls

Many calls in the API use the following data types:

sObject
ID (String). See ID Field Type.

The API also uses several error handling objects. If an error occurs during a SOAP request, the API returns a SOAP fault message. The message contains different content, depending on the type of error:

If an error affects the entire request, an API Fault Element, is returned, containing an ExceptionCode and the associated error message text.
If the error affects some records and not others, an Error is returned, containing a StatusCode. These errors typically occur during bulk operations, such as creating, updating, or deleting multiple records with a single call.

sObject

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:

Name	Type	Description
fieldsToNull	string[]	Array of one or more field names whose value you want to explicitly set to `null`. When used with `update()` or `upsert()`, you can specify only those fields that you can update and that have the `nillable` property. When used with `create()`, you can specify only those fields that you can create and that have the `nillable` or the `default on create` property. For example, if specifying an ID field or required field results in a run-time error, you can specify that field name in fieldsToNull. Similarly, if you need to set a picklist value to none when creating a record, but the picklist has a default value, you can specify the field in fieldsToNull.
ID	ID	Unique ID for this individual object. For the `create()` call, this value is null. For all other API calls, this value must be specified.

API Fault Element

The following table lists the API fault elements that the API returns if an error occurs when processing a service request.

Fault	Description
ApiQueryFault	The row and column numbers where the problem occurred.
LoginFault	An error occurred during the `login()` call.
InvalidSObjectFault	An invalid sObject in a `describeSObject()`, `describeSObjects()`, `describeLayout()`, `describeDataCategoryGroups()`,`describeDataCategoryGroupStructures()`, `create()`, `update()`, `retrieve()`, or `query()` call.
InvalidFieldFault	An invalid field in a `retrieve()` or `query()` call.
InvalidOrNullForRestrictedPicklist	An invalid appMenuType in a `describeAppMenu()` call.
MalformedQueryFault	A problem in the queryString passed in a `query()` call.
InvalidQueryLocatorFault	A problem in the queryLocator passed in a `queryMore()` call.
MalformedSearchFault	A problem in the search passed in a `search()` call.
InvalidIdFault	A specified ID was invalid in a `setPassword()` or `resetPassword()` call.
UnexpectedErrorFault	An unexpected error occurred. The error is not associated with any other API fault.

ExceptionCode

The following list of ExceptionCode values is defined in your WSDL file. Some codes may not be in your WSDL, depending on the features you have enabled.

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

INVALID_FILTER_VALUE: A SOQL query with LIKE specified an invalid character, for example, an incorrectly placed asterisk (*). Correct the query and resubmit.
INVALID_ID_FIELD: The specified ID is correctly formatted, but is not valid, for example, it is an ID of the wrong type, or the object it identifies no longer exists.
INVALID_GOOGLE_DOCS_URL: An invalid Salesforce record URL was used when trying to associate a Google Doc to that record. Correct the URL before trying the operation again.
INVALID_LOCATOR: The locator is invalid.
INVALID_LOGIN: The login() credentials are not valid, or the maximum number of logins have been exceeded. Contact your administrator for more information.
INVALID_NEW_PASSWORD: The new password does not conform with the password policies of the organization.

INVALID_SEARCH_SCOPE: The specified search scope is invalid.
INVALID_SESSION_ID: The specified sessionId is malformed (incorrect length or format) or has expired. Log in again to start a new session.
INVALID_SOAP_HEADER: There is an error in the SOAP header. If you are migrating from an earlier version of the API, be advised that the SaveOptions header can't be used with API version 6.0 or later. Use AssignmentRuleHeader instead.

NOT_MODIFIED: The describe call response has not changed since the specified date.
NO_SOFTPHONE_LAYOUT: If an organization has the CTI feature enabled, but no softphone layout has been defined, this exception is returned if a describe call is issued. This is most often caused because no call center has been defined: during call center definition, a default softphone layout is created.
If an organization does not 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, those queries would require sharing rule checking. An example of this would be queries that are run on objects, such as Task, that use a polymorphic foreign key. Such 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 organization has been locked. You must contact Salesforce to unlock the organization.
ORG_NOT_OWNED_BY_INSTANCE: The user tried to log in to the wrong server instance. Choose another server instance or log in at https://login.salesforce.com. You can use http instead of https.
PASSWORD_LOCKOUT: The user has exceeded the allowed number of login attempts. The user must contact his or her administrator to regain login access.
PORTAL_NO_ACCESS: Access to the specified portal is not available.
QUERY_TIMEOUT: The query has timed out. For more information, see the Salesforce SOQL and SOSL Reference Guide.
QUERY_TOO_COMPLICATED: SOQL query is either selecting too many fields or there are too many filter conditions. Try reducing the number of formula fields referenced in the query.
REQUEST_LIMIT_EXCEEDED: Exceeded either the concurrent request limit or the request rate limit for your organization. For details on API request limits, see API Usage Metering.
REQUEST_RUNNING_TOO_LONG: A request has taken too long to be processed.
SERVER_UNAVAILABLE: A server that is necessary for this call is currently unavailable. Other types of requests might still work.
SSO_SERVICE_DOWN: The service was unavailable, and an authentication call to the organization’s specified Single Sign-On server failed.
TOO_MANY_APEX_REQUESTS: Too many Apex requests have been issued. If this persists, contact Salesforce Customer Support.
TRIAL_EXPIRED: The trial period for the organization has expired. A representative from the organization must contact Salesforce to re-enable the organization.
UNSUPPORTED_API_VERSION: A method call was made that does not 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.

Error

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:

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:

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

UNABLE_TO_LOCK_ROW

A deadlock or timeout condition has been detected:

Deadlocks involve at least two transactions that are attempting to update overlapping sets of objects. Note that 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 usually not the result of an issue with Salesforce operations.
Timeouts occur when a transaction takes too long to complete, for example, when replacing a value in a picklist, or changing a custom field definition. These are temporary states. There is no corrective action needed.

If an object in a batch can't be locked, the entire batch fails with this error.
