SOAP to XI sync Scenario - Invalid Character within CDATA

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I have a SOAP to XI SYNC Scenario to publish a Web Service through PI. In the ERP side I implemented a XI proxy class. The Data Type for input and output is just a String parameter which contains another XML. I have implemented also an ABAP mapping to add the logged user and send it to XI Proxy class.

Inside the XI proxy class I implemented a xslt transformation to XML->ABAP and for the Response ABAP->XML.

When I test the scenario through SOAPUI tool, I have to add in the request the CDATA like this:

<Input>

<![CDATA[

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8?>

...

...

]]>

</Input>

So, the response should be like this:

<Response>

<![CDATA[

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8?>

...

...

]]>

</Response>

The problem is that the text inside "Response" tag contains the characters "" before the inside xml:

<Response>

<![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

...

...

]]>

</Response>

If I debug the XI proxy class the string doesn't contain any of these characters.

How can I delete these characters?

My system landscape is: SAP PI 7.31 and SAP ECC 6.0.

Hi Diego,

I think you would need to identify when this problem appears. But, like workaround you can use meantimes the standard function replaceString() to delete the characters ï»

Fernando,

Check if this special chars it´s before the header of XML into Input msg:

Like:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xml>;;;

Delete it from notepad for test.

Kind regards,

Ricardo Viana.
