Error Message about inactive Survey during Create Distribution API call

Question

We have a created a survey and a mailling list. When we select the mailling list to create Personal Links via web-based Qualtrics platform (i.e. i.e. https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/distributions-module/email-distribution/personal-links/ ), it worked perfectly. But when we tried to use the Create Distribution API (i.e. https://api.qualtrics.com/api-reference/reference/distributions.json/paths/~1distributions/post ) to generate the list of personal links, we ran into unexpected error message saying the survey is not active. Error message in response{"meta":{"httpStatus":"400 - Bad Request","error":{"errorMessage":"Issue with parameter: surveyId, please fix and try again. Reason: Inactive survey specified.","errorCode":"CD_400_1"},"requestId":"4*******-****-****-****-**masked***b"}}We wonder if we missed anything. (Note that we are using Research Core Contacts as we do not have XM Directory.) Below is the related code we are using: String qid = "SV_d****masked***j";String qmid = "ML_8****masked***L";String API_TOKEN = "y**************masked******************g"; OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();MediaType mediaType = MediaType.parse("application/json");RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(mediaType, "{\"surveyId\":\"" + qid + "\""                                  + ", \"linkType\":\"Individual\" "                                   + ", \"description\":\"distribution\" "                                  + ", \"action\":\"CreateDistribution\" "                                  + ", \"expirationDate\":\"2021-01-31 00:00:00\" "                                  + ", \"mailingListId\":\"" + qmid + "\" "                                  + "}");Request request = new Request.Builder()                       .url("https://****.au1.qualtrics.com/API/v3/distributions")                       .post(body)                       .addHeader("x-api-token", API_TOKEN)                       .build(); Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();               String responseString = response.body().string();		out.println(responseString + "");Can anyone help to shed some lights on this issues? 😥
