Veeva Vault Common Errors

Overview

Guidance for common errors with Veeva Vault REST API, VQL queries, and VAPIL Java SDK.

Instructions

Key Vault API Concepts

• Authentication: Session-based (username/password or OAuth 2.0)
• Base URL: https://{vault}.veevavault.com/api/v24.1/
• VQL: SQL-like query language for Vault data
• VAPIL: Open-source Java SDK covering all Platform APIs
• Lifecycle: Documents flow through states (Draft > In Review > Approved)

Common VQL Patterns

-- List documents by type
SELECT id, name__v FROM documents WHERE type__v = 'Trial Document'

-- Find objects
SELECT id, name__v FROM site__v WHERE status__v = 'active__v'

-- Join related objects
SELECT id, name__v, study__vr.name__v FROM study_country__v

Error Handling

Error	Cause	Solution
INVALID_SESSION_ID	Session expired	Re-authenticate
INSUFFICIENT_ACCESS	Missing permissions	Check security profile
INVALID_DATA	Bad VQL or field name	Validate against metadata
OPERATION_NOT_ALLOWED	Lifecycle state conflict	Check document state
