Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully managed message queuing service that enables you to decouple and scale microservices, distributed systems, and serverless applications. SQS allows you to send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be always available.
When working with AWS SQS, you might encounter the error code AWS.SimpleQueueService.InvalidBatchEntryId. This error typically occurs when you attempt to send a batch of messages to an SQS queue, and one or more of the batch entry IDs are invalid.
When this error occurs, the AWS SDK or CLI will return an error message indicating that the batch entry ID is invalid. This prevents the batch of messages from being processed as expected.
The error AWS.SimpleQueueService.InvalidBatchEntryId indicates that one or more batch entry IDs provided in the request do not meet the required criteria. Each entry in a batch request must have a unique identifier that is alphanumeric and unique within the batch. This identifier is used to track the success or failure of each message in the batch.
To resolve the AWS.SimpleQueueService.InvalidBatchEntryId error, follow these steps:
Ensure that each batch entry ID is alphanumeric and unique within the batch. You can use a simple script to validate the IDs before sending the batch request. For example, in Python:
def validate_batch_entry_ids(batch):
seen_ids = set()
for entry in batch:
entry_id = entry['Id']
if not entry_id.isalnum() or entry_id in seen_ids:
raise ValueError(f"Invalid batch entry ID: {entry_id}")
seen_ids.add(entry_id)
Ensure that there are no duplicate IDs within the batch. Each ID should be unique to avoid conflicts and ensure proper tracking of each message's status.
Ensure that the batch entry IDs are of appropriate length. AWS SQS does not specify a strict length requirement, but keeping IDs concise and consistent is a good practice.

By following these steps and ensuring your batch entry IDs are valid, you can effectively resolve the AWS.SimpleQueueService.InvalidBatchEntryId error and ensure smooth message processing in your AWS SQS queues.
