Problem description
Your PutBucketReplication request fails because the XML request body is missing the <ReplicationConfiguration> root node.
Causes
The XML request body starts with a <Rule> element instead of the required <ReplicationConfiguration> root node.
Examples
The following request triggers this error. The XML body has no <ReplicationConfiguration> wrapper — <Rule> appears directly as the root element:
POST /?replication&comp=add HTTP/1.1
Date: <GMT-date>
Content-Length: <content-length>
Content-Type: application/xml
Authorization: <signature>
Host: <bucket-name>.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Rule>
<RTC>
<Status>enabled or disabled</Status>
</RTC>
<PrefixSet>
<Prefix>prefix_1</Prefix>
<Prefix>prefix_2</Prefix>
</PrefixSet>
<Action>ALL,PUT</Action>
<Destination>
<Bucket>destbucket</Bucket>
<Location>oss-cn-hangzhou</Location>
<TransferType>oss_acc</TransferType>
</Destination>
<HistoricalObjectReplication>enabled or disabled</HistoricalObjectReplication>
</Rule>Solutions
Wrap the <Rule> element with a <ReplicationConfiguration> root node:
POST /?replication&comp=add HTTP/1.1
Date: <GMT-date>
Content-Length: <content-length>
Content-Type: application/xml
Authorization: <signature>
Host: <bucket-name>.oss-cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ReplicationConfiguration>
<Rule>
<RTC>
<Status>enabled or disabled</Status>
</RTC>
<PrefixSet>
<Prefix>prefix_1</Prefix>
<Prefix>prefix_2</Prefix>
</PrefixSet>
<Action>ALL,PUT</Action>
<Destination>
<Bucket>destbucket</Bucket>
<Location>oss-cn-hangzhou</Location>
<TransferType>oss_acc</TransferType>
</Destination>
<HistoricalObjectReplication>enabled or disabled</HistoricalObjectReplication>
</Rule>
</ReplicationConfiguration>Replace the following placeholders with your actual values:
| Placeholder | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
<GMT-date> | Request date in GMT format | Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT |
<content-length> | Length of the request body in bytes | 423 |
<signature> | Request signature value | OSS <AccessKeyId>:<Signature> |
<bucket-name> | Name of the source bucket | my-source-bucket |
destbucket | Name of the destination bucket | my-dest-bucket |
