Error Message: 401: X-Auth-Client and X-Auth-Token headers are required.

Cannot match [order rule]

Error Message: Cannot match [order rule].

Explanation: This error is thrown when the rule engine that parses and evaluates order rules is unable to apply the rule that you created to any order because of a semantic error.

Resolution: Check that the statements of your order rule are not contradictory, e.g.

• IF A=yes AND A=no THEN B=0
• IF A=1 THEN B=1 AND IF A=1 THEN B=0

Find a different way to formulate the rule.

Problem updating the rule

Error Message: There has been a problem updating the rule. Please review the problems below.

Explanation: This error is triggered when the rule engine that processes order rules is unable to parse the rule that you created because of a syntactic error. This may happen if you specify an IF-clause but not a THEN-clause, or if you forget a matching parenthesis in the Advanced Editor.

Resolution: Check that the statements of your order rule are syntactically correct and find a different way to formulate the rule. Your rule will not be saved unless all errors are corrected.
