SubscriptionNotInHeaders
400
apim-subscription-id is not found in headers
Please add your APIM subscription ID in the header. Example header: {"apim-subscription-id": <Your Subscription ID>}
FileNotExist
400
File <source> does not exist.
Please check the validity of your blob shared access signature (SAS). Make sure that it has not expired.
InvalidBlobURL
400
Your blob shared access signature (SAS) is not a valid SAS.
StorageWriteError
403
This error is possibly caused by permission issues. Our service is not allowed to write the data to the blob encrypted by a Customer Managed Key (CMK). Either remove CMK or grant access to our service again. Please refer to this page for more details.
This subscription has reached the maximum number of models.
Each APIM subscription ID is allowed to have 300 active models. Please delete unused models before training a new model
TooManyRunningModels
400
This subscription has reached the maximum number of running models.
Each APIM subscription ID is allowed to train 5 models concurrently. Please train a new model after previous models have completed their training process.
InvalidJsonFormat
400
Invalid json format.
Training request is not a valid JSON.
InvalidAlignMode
400
The 'alignMode' field must be one of the following: 'Inner' or 'Outer' .
Please check the value of 'alignMode' which should be either 'Inner' or 'Outer' (case sensitive).
InvalidFillNAMethod
400
The 'fillNAMethod' field must be one of the following: 'Previous', 'Subsequent', 'Linear', 'Zero', 'Fixed', 'NotFill' and it cannot be 'NotFill' when 'alignMode' is 'Outer'.
Please check the value of 'fillNAMethod'. You may refer to this section for more details.
RequiredPaddingValue
400
The 'paddingValue' field is required in the request when 'fillNAMethod' is 'Fixed'.
You need to provide a valid padding value when 'fillNAMethod' is 'Fixed'. You may refer to this section for more details.
RequiredSource
400
The 'source' field is required in the request.
Your training request has not specified a value for the 'source' field. Example: {"source": <Your Blob SAS>}.
RequiredStartTime
400
The 'startTime' field is required in the request.
Your training request has not specified a value for the 'startTime' field. Example: {"startTime": "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"}.
InvalidTimestampFormat
400
Invalid Timestamp format. <timestamp> is not a valid format.
The format of timestamp in the request body is not correct. You may try import pandas as pd; pd.to_datetime(timestamp) to verify.
RequiredEndTime
400
The 'endTime' field is required in the request.
Your training request has not specified a value for the 'startTime' field. Example: {"endTime": "2021-01-01T00:00:00Z"}.
InvalidSlidingWindow
400
The 'slidingWindow' field must be an integer between 28 and 2880.
'slidingWindow' must be an integer between 28 and 2880 (inclusive).

InvalidRequestParameterError
400
Invalid values for $skip or $top …
Please check whether the values for the two parameters are numerical. $skip and $top are used to list the models with pagination. Because the API only returns 10 most recently updated models, you could use $skip and $top to get models updated earlier.

ModelNotExist
404
The model does not exist.
The model used for inference does not exist. Please check the model ID in the request URL.
ModelFailed
400
Model failed to be trained.
The model is not successfully trained. Please get detailed information by getting the model with model ID.
ModelNotReady
400
The model is not ready yet.
The model is not ready yet. Please wait for a while until the training process completes.
InvalidFileSize
413

Data Processing Errors
The following error codes do not have associated HTTP Error codes.
Error Code
Error Message
Comment
NoVariablesFound
No variables found. Please check that your files are organized as per instruction.
No csv files could be found from the data source. This is typically caused by wrong organization of files. Please refer to the sample data for the desired structure.
DuplicatedVariables
There are multiple variables with the same name.
There are duplicated variable names.
FileNotExist
File <filename> does not exist.
This error usually happens during inference. The variable has appeared in the training data but is missing in the inference data.
RedundantFile
File <filename> is redundant.
This error usually happens during inference. The variable was not in the training data but appeared in the inference data.
FileSizeTooLarge
The size of file <filename> is too large.
The size of the single csv file <filename> exceeds the limit. Please train with less data.
ReadingFileError
Errors occurred when reading <filename>. <error messages>
Failed to read the file <filename>. You may refer to <error messages> for more details or verify with pd.read_csv(filename) in a local environment.
FileColumnsNotExist
Columns timestamp or value in file <filename> do not exist.
Each csv file must have two columns with names timestamp and value (case sensitive).
VariableParseError
Variable <variable> parse <error message> error.
Cannot process the <variable> due to runtime errors. Please refer to the <error message> for more details or contact us with the <error message>.
MergeDataFailed
Failed to merge data. Please check data format.
Data merge failed. This is possibly due to wrong data format, organization of files, etc. Please refer to the sample data for the current file structure.
ColumnNotFound
Column <column> cannot be found in the merged data.
A column is missing after merge. Please verify the data.
NumColumnsMismatch
Number of columns of merged data does not match the number of variables.
Please verify the data.
TooManyData
Too many data points. Maximum number is 1000000 per variable.
Please reduce the size of input data.
NoData
There is no effective data
There is no data to train/inference after processing. Please check the start time and end time.
DataExceedsLimit
The length of data whose timestamp is between startTime and endTime exceeds limit(<limit>).
The size of data after processing exceeds the limit. (Currently no limit on processed data.)
NotEnoughInput
Not enough data. The length of data is <data length>, but the minimum length should be larger than sliding window which is <sliding window size>.
The minimum number of data points for inference is the size of sliding window. Try to provide more data for inference.
