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. With SQS, you can send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be available.
When working with AWS SQS, you might encounter the error code AWS.SimpleQueueService.InvalidParameterValue. This error indicates that one or more parameter values provided in the request are invalid. This can manifest as failed API calls or unexpected behavior when interacting with SQS queues.
The error code AWS.SimpleQueueService.InvalidParameterValue is triggered when the parameters in your request do not adhere to the expected format or constraints defined by AWS SQS. For example, queue names must be between 1 and 80 characters long, and can only contain alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores.
To resolve the AWS.SimpleQueueService.InvalidParameterValue error, follow these steps:
Ensure that your queue name meets the required constraints. For example, a valid queue name could be MyQueue-123. Refer to the AWS SQS Queue Name Guidelines for more details.
Review the message attributes you are sending. Ensure that each attribute has a valid data type and value. For example, if you are using a string data type, ensure the value is a valid UTF-8 string.
Double-check the parameters in your API requests. Ensure they are supported by the AWS SQS API and are correctly formatted. You can refer to the AWS SQS API Reference for a comprehensive list of supported parameters.
By ensuring that all parameter values are valid and adhere to AWS SQS constraints, you can effectively resolve the AWS.SimpleQueueService.InvalidParameterValue error. Regularly reviewing AWS documentation and guidelines will help prevent similar issues in the future.
