ESME_RINVBCAST_REP in SMPP

What is ESME_RINVBCAST_REP?

ESME_RINVBCAST_REP (Error Code: 0x00000110) indicates that an invalid broadcast replace request was sent. This typically happens when the replace request contains incorrect parameters or references a non-existent broadcast message.

Possible Causes

  • The broadcast message ID provided in the replace request is invalid or does not exist.
  • The ESME does not have the necessary permissions to replace a broadcast message.
  • Invalid or missing mandatory fields in the replace_broadcast_sm request.
  • An internal SMSC issue preventing the processing of the replace request.

When Does It Happen?

This error occurs when an ESME sends a replace_broadcast_sm request to modify an existing broadcast message, but the request is rejected due to incorrect or missing data.

How to Solve It?

  • Ensure the broadcast message ID exists and is correct.
  • Verify that all mandatory fields in the replace_broadcast_sm request are correctly populated.
  • Check your ESME permissions to confirm that replacing broadcast messages is allowed.
  • Consult SMSC logs to identify possible internal errors.
  • Retry the request with the correct parameters after fixing any identified issues.

To resolve this issue, validate the broadcast message ID and ensure that all necessary parameters are correctly set before sending the replace request.
