Re: [scim] SCIM: Questions regarding Error handling for Bulk operations

[Phil Hunt <[e-mail]>]

Morteza/Jena,

The IDCS (Identity Cloud Service) bulk endpoint returns an overall 200 and then 409 for each resource operation that failed (due to cycle or any other reason) and a 200/201 for those that succeed.

As an example, I was reading through the section (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7644#section-3.7.1 <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__tools.ietf.org_html_rfc7644-23section-2D3.7.1&d=DwMGaQ&c=RoP1YumCXCgaWHvlZYR8PZh8Bv7qIrMUB65eapI_JnE&r=na5FVzBTWmanqWNy4DpctyXPpuYqPkAI1aLcLN4KZNA&m=pyJbcSIML-m5QRPAfMRPW1D5vOwW3y_KWQo_pX0bJh0&s=rd-Tvkl4RlzRIcibzydGY6X7AR9lv3FOPuTCB6MNgZ8&e=>) - which says that we need to return the error code 409 when the circular dependency couldn’t be resolved by the server. The behavior of the bulk server wrt is not clear to me when we have the “FailOnError” flag is not specified. Please help clarify if the following behavior is correct and as per the specification.

Should the bulk server return a top level 409 response or a 200 response with operation response for each failed items (i.e 2 operation responses with 409 as the code for each).

Should it be a  200 response with operation response for each failed items (i.e 2 operation responses with 409 as the code for each) and then it also contains the successful response for the 3rd item
