Status Codes

When you call any of the Oracle BI Publisher REST resources, the response header returns one of these standard HTTP status codes:

Describes HTTP status codes

HTTP Status Code	Description
200 OK	Request completed successfully.
201 Created	New object created as requested. A 201 status is returned from a synchronous resource creation or an asynchronous resource creation that completed before the response was returned.
400 Bad Request	The request could not be processed because it contains missing or invalid information (such as, a validation error on an input field, a missing required value, and so on).
404 Not Found	The request includes a resource URI that does not exist.
401 Unauthorized	The request is not authorized. The authentication credentials included with this request are missing or invalid.
403 Forbidden	The user cannot be authenticated. The user does not have authorization to perform this request.
405 Method Not Allowed	The HTTP verb specified in the request (DELETE, GET, POST, PUT) is not supported for this request URI.
406 Not Acceptable	The resource identified by this request is not capable of generating a representation corresponding to one of the media types in the Accept header of the request. For example, the client's Accept header request XML be returned, but the resource can only return JSON.
415 Not Acceptable	The client's ContentType header is not correct (for example, the client attempts to send the request in XML, but the resource can only accept JSON).
500 Internal Server Error	The server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.
503 Service Unavailable	The server is unable to handle the request due to temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. The Oracle BI Publisher REST web application is not currently running.
