Behavior When Invalid Items are Requested

This section describes how Dynamic Monetization handles access requests that include invalid line items.

A line item is invalid if one or more of the following apply:

•

The line item is not included a valid rate table.

•

The line item’s status is Inactive or Obsolete in the back office.

•

The line item was deleted in the back office.

If an access request includes an invalid item among other valid items, a charge for the invalid item cannot be made.

•

If this is a standalone access request, all other items are granted if possible.

•

If the access request is made to a session, then the entire request fails.

In the following example response for an access request made to a session, the item PhotoAlbum is not included in the rate table and is therefore invalid:
