Handling error responses
When updating data to Nepton it is important to check that the ResponseCode is 1000. If the ResponseCode is anything but 1000, there is something that was not updated correctly. See the code explanations above. The ResponseString may contain general information, but to get information about where the problem exactly occurred, you need to check the details of the response.
For example, InsertActivities request returns a list of events as Activity elements matching the Activity elements in the request with a Success field with value true for each field that was successfully added and false for events with any problems. Then the ErrorMessage element will contain the details of an individual problem related to that field.
It is the responsibility of the calling software to properly display or log the error messages related to individual messages. The error messages might not be found in Nepton later on.
