A fault type is a data structure that conveys information about errors, such as processing errors, raised by the server. Information can include the nature of the problem, such as “InvalidURL” or “InvalidAgencyScope.”
For example, a NotAuthorized fault is returned to the client by the server when it denies an operation due to insufficient client privileges.
All fault types are listed in the pane to the left of this page. Click a name to display reference documentation for a given fault type. Documentation can include:
