Solutions

1. Add serviceTypeCode=<int> to the request
2. Or add serviceTypeName=<string> (e.g. HTTP_CLIENT) to the request
3. Update client scripts/docs to the current API parameter contract

Example fix

// before
GET /admin/application?applicationName=myApp
// after
GET /admin/application?applicationName=myApp&serviceTypeCode=1010

if (serviceTypeCode == null && serviceTypeName == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Either serviceTypeCode or serviceTypeName is required");

boolean hasServiceType(Integer code, String name) { return code != null || (name != null && !name.isBlank()); }

When it happens

Trigger: Calling admin/application-related endpoints that pass applicationName but omit both serviceTypeCode and serviceTypeName query parameters.

Common situations: Older clients or curl scripts written before multi-service (Service) support was added; missing parameter after API refactor; copy-pasted request templates missing the serviceType argument.
