This value set has an inline code system http://hl7.org/fhir/issue-type, which defines the following codes:
Lvl | Code | Display | Definition |
1 | invalid | Invalid Content | Content invalid against the Specification or a Profile |
2 | structure | Structural Issue | A structural issue in the content such as wrong namespace, or unable to parse the content completely, or invalid json syntax |
2 | required | Required element missing | A required element is missing |
2 | value | Element value invalid | element value invalid |
2 | invariant | Validation rule failed | A content validation rule failed - e.g. a schematron rule |
1 | security | Security Problem | An authentication/authorization/permissions issueof some kind |
2 | login | Login Required | the client needs to initiate an authentication process |
2 | unknown | Unknown User | The user or system was not able to be authenticated (either there is no process, or the proferred token is unacceptable) |
2 | expired | Session Expired | User session expired; a login may be required |
2 | forbidden | Forbidden | The user does not have the rights to perform this action |
2 | suppressed | Information Suppressed | Some information was not or may not have been returned due to business rules, consent or privacy rules, or access permission constraints. This information may be accessible through alternate processes |
1 | processing | Processing Failure | Processing issues. These are expected to be final e.g. there is no point resubmitting the same content unchanged |
2 | not-supported | Content not supported | The resource or profile is not supported |
2 | duplicate | Duplicate | An attempt was made to create a duplicate record |
2 | not-found | Not Found | The reference provided was not found. In a pure RESTful environment, this would be an HTTP 404 error, but this code may be used where the content is not found further into the application architecture |
2 | too-long | Content Too Long | Provided content is too long (typically, this is a denial of service protection type of error) |
2 | code-invalid | Invalid Code | The code or system could not be understood, or it was not valid in the context of a particular ValueSet |
2 | extension | Unacceptable Extension | An extension was found that was not acceptable, or that could not be resolved, or a modifierExtension that was not recognised |
2 | too-costly | Operation Too Costly | The operation was stopped to protect server resources. E.g. a request for a value set expansion on all of SNOMED CT |
2 | business-rule | Business Rule Violation | The content/operation failed to pass some business rule, and so could not proceed |
2 | conflict | Edit Version Conflict | content could not be accepted because of an edit conflict (i.e. version aware updates) (In a pure RESTful environment, this would be an HTTP 404 error, but this code may be used where the conflict is discovered further into the application architecture) |
2 | incomplete | Incomplete Results | Not all data sources typically accessed could be reached, or responded in time, so the returned information may not be complete |
1 | transient | Transient Issue | Transient processing issues. The system receiving the error may be able to resubmit the same content once an underlying issue is resolved |
2 | lock-error | Lock Error | A resource/record locking failure (usually in an underlying database) |
2 | no-store | No Store Available | The persistent store unavailable. E.g. the database is down for maintenance or similar |
2 | exception | Exception | An unexpected internal error |
2 | timeout | Timeout | An internal timeout occurred |
2 | throttled | Throttled | The system is not prepared to handle this request due to load management |
1 | informational | Informational Note | A message unrelated to the processing success of the completed operation (Examples of the latter include things like reminders of password expiry, system maintenance times, etc.) |
