Status Code

A successful operation returns status code 200 (OK). For more information about status codes, see HttpStatusCode.

The error response is dependent upon the api-version used in the request. If the api-version is not provided, or CCP_Version is specified, then the error response will be an XML string (Note: The error message will vary based on the error):

<string xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">Error message text.</string>

If the api-version is 2011-11-01 or later, the error message will be a more descriptive XML response (Note: Values will vary based on the error):

<HpcWebServiceFault xmlns="https://schemas.microsoft.com/HPCS2008R2/common" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
