Handling of 0xb character

[former_member479035]

Hi ,

We have a scenario where couple of messages coming from SAP system to XI are failing in XI due to the below error.

javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0xb(:main:, row:466, col:9598) at com.sap.engine.lib.jaxp.TransformerImpl.transform(TransformerImpl.java:249) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.server.mapping.MappingTransformer.transform(MappingTransformer.java:153) at com.sap.aii.ibrun.server.mapping.XSLTMapping.executeStep

Please find below the invalid character in payload before Unfortunately.

There is no requirement to

check the wheel nut tension in procedure PRC-MP-004. Unfortunately,

this creates complacency that the indicators are accurate.

Can some one let me know how these kind of characters can be handled by mapping with out correction from source

Hi,

You can use Java mapping before actual mapping to remove the invalid characters from the payload.

OR even try this

According to this note, a vertical tab is not allowed and in fact, XSLT does not cosider this character as whitespace:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#strip

So I was wrong in my previous answer.

Apply the above mentioned note, that should help.

[stefan_grube]

ascii 11 (char #0xb) is a vertical tab = whitespace and should not cause troubles. Which PI version do you use?

If you have PI 7.1, try to select "use SAPXMLToolkit" in operation mapping.

If you do not find a solution, report to SAP.

Hi

You can handle this with the file encoding.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79...

or

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/502991a2-45d9-2910-d99f-8aba5d79f...

you can also use the standard repleceString function available.

Input field----->

Constant(*)-->replace string function--->target field

Constant(a)---->

Note:

constant(*)----> set the constant as *

constant(a)---->set the constant as a or your new value.
