Errors
For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

HTTP Status Code: 403
- DirectoryDeletedException
-
A directory that has been deleted and to which access has been attempted. Note: The requested resource will eventually cease to exist.
HTTP Status Code: 400
- DirectoryNotDisabledException
-
An operation can only operate on a disabled directory.
HTTP Status Code: 400
- InternalServiceException
-
Indicates a problem that must be resolved by Amazon Web Services. This might be a transient error in which case you can retry your request until it succeeds. Otherwise, go to the AWS Service Health Dashboard
site to see if there are any operational issues with the service. HTTP Status Code: 500
- InvalidArnException
-
Indicates that the provided ARN value is not valid.
HTTP Status Code: 400

HTTP Status Code: 400
- ResourceNotFoundException

HTTP Status Code: 404
- RetryableConflictException
-
Occurs when a conflict with a previous successful write is detected. For example, if a write operation occurs on an object and then an attempt is made to read the object using “SERIALIZABLE” consistency, this exception may result. This generally occurs when the previous write did not have time to propagate to the host serving the current request. A retry (with appropriate backoff logic) is the recommended response to this exception.
HTTP Status Code: 409
- ValidationException
-
Indicates that your request is malformed in some manner. See the exception message.
HTTP Status Code: 400
