Testing your integration
As subscription operations do not send messages, the best way to test your integration is directly with MEP. We recommend that you test regularly as you build your campaigns and services in MEP, so that you can troubleshoot any issues faster.
For more information on using each operation, see Making Subscription Requests.
Troubleshooting
Response error messages
These error messages are returned in the response body when there was a problem with receiving the request.
Message |
Description |
---|---|
Subscription is disabled. Cannot add user to disabled subscription. |
Once disabled, you cannot add any further end users to the subscription via the API or the UI. However, that end users may still be added or removed by a MEP service. If required, you can re-enable a subscription; however you must do this from the MEP GUI. |
Your request is invalid, specifically the following parameter is incorrect: <parameter>=<value> |
You request contains a problem with the specified mandatory parameter that has stopped MEP from being able to process the request. If the <value> is “null”, then the parameter name is misspelled or the parameter is missing. Otherwise, the value you specified is invalid or does not match the available options. Correct the error and resend the message. |
Your username and/or password is incorrect. Check and try again. |
Either the username or the password parameter has not been correctly specified. Both parameters are mandatory. Check that both parameters are specified, and that you have entered the correct values for each parameter. |
You do not have the necessary roles or permissions to perform the action: <description> |
Your access rights in MEP do not allow you use the operation. The information in the <description> part of the response will tell you the role or permission that you are missing. |
