Eloqua Bulk API – New validation error if attempting to delete data when sync in progress [May 2024]

Overview

With the arrival of Eloqua release 24B (May 3 - 17, 2024), when attempting to delete data when there is an associated sync in progress, we will return a “409 There was a conflict.” validation response.

 

What’s changing?

With 24B, we are adding validation to prevent data being deleted when there is an associated sync in progress, impacting all data endpoints:

• Delete an account export definition's data:
  • DELETE /api/bulk/2.0/accounts/exports/{id}/data
• Delete an account import definition's data:
  • DELETE /api/bulk/2.0/accounts/imports/{id}/data
• Delete sync data for an account sync action definition:
  • DELETE /api/bulk/2.0/accounts/syncActions/{id}/data
