OUTBOUND XML FILE CONTAINS SPECIAL CHARS AFTER SP08 UPGRADE

[Former Member]

Experts,

Recently MDM server upgraded to SP08 from SP05.

In our outbound interface scenario we have 1 hierarchy field. The hierarchy field mapped as complete path(parent to Child)

ex: 1,Parent > 11,Child > 111,Child > 1111,Child.

In SP05 XML files are generating correctly & PI also dont have any issues while passing this data to ECC.

After SP08 Server pack upgrade, xml file generating like below:

1??, ??Parent??, ???>?11??, ??Child??, ???>?111??, ??Child??, ???>?1111??, ??Child??, ???

If open the xml file in non ASCC editor I could able to see these special chars. Due to this ISSUE PI could not processing xml files.

All XML files are failing& blocking in PI.

Could you let me know what needs to be done at MDM or PI level.

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks

Hello,

Please check the Destination preview in the syndicator.

So an syndication on the local machine, open the XML in an Browser, to see check for the special characters.

If every things is ok, then just place the file in the outbound ready folder.

If not then, raise an OSS message with SAP, as this a latest release, error resolution would be best provided by SAP
