title: AWS SSM put parameter Validation Exception
body: <p>I am getting error when I execute the below command. But as far as I have googled, I see the syntax is correct.</p>
  <p>Command 1:</p>
  <pre class="lang-bash prettyprint-override"><code>aws ssm put-parameter --name /Finance/Payroll/elixir3131 --value &quot;P@sSwW)rd&quot; --type SecureString
  </code></pre>
  <p>Command 2:</p>
  <pre class="lang-bash prettyprint-override"><code>aws ssm put-parameter --name &quot;/Finance/Payroll/elixir3131&quot; --value &quot;P@sSwW)rd&quot; --type SecureString
  </code></pre>
  <p>for both the commands I get :</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>An error occurred (ValidationException) when calling the PutParameter operation: Parameter name must be a fully qualified name.</p>
  </blockquote>
