You made the file? Then fix the program that makes it so that it doesn't put that character into the file. Standard XML processors like those used by JAXP will never create invalid XML, so why not use them?

Error in moni as invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x16) was found

Hello Experts,
I am facing an issue in Production interface is Proxy - -> JDBC data is passing in ECC successfully in PI moni it is showing error
as Runtime Exception when executing application mapping program com/sap/xi/tf/_MaterialPlantFromSAP_to_MaterialPlantToDYNAMINE_; Details: com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException; An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x16) was found in the element content of the document.
when i try to open the payload it is showing data is too long when i click on open screen is getting hang showing as not responding.I have checked in the ECC it is also showing data is too long when i click on open after 1 min payload is opening when i try to copy the payload and paste in Message mapping test tab again screen is getting hanging when i try to test with 20 or 30 records in Mapping it going through.
I have downloaded that XML file from ECC moni it is 8.83 MB .
PI can process this huge file ? please suggest me how to pass data in chunks .And also i am not understanding error is due to Payload has not correct data or Payload is huge.
Please throw some light on the issue any help is highly appreciated.

Praveen Reddy

Hi Praveen,
you need a HEX editor. Please download one from this link
http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm
Here in the editor search for the HEX value 0X16 and see the corrosponding charcater in payload.
Try getting rid of the character before it reaches Integrtaion engine possibly with java mapping.

An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the prolog of the docu

Hi folks,
I'm using the SAX parser to parse a small xml file. If I use that file in IE, there its parsing correctly and displaying the xml in the tree structure.
But in my Java code its throwing
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x0) was found in the prolog of the document.
The xml parsing code of my program is
XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(
"org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
HelpPartHandler hp = new HelpPartHandler();
parser.setContentHandler(hp);
RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("sample.xml","r");
byte Contents[] = new byte[(int)raf.length()];
StringReader sr = new StringReader(new String(Contents));
InputSource is = new InputSource(sr);
parser.parse(is);
The xml file is
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROOT>
<NODE> Java </NODE>
</ROOT>
Please let me know the mistakes what I have done. Looking for the reply.
Thanks in Advance
Prabu

The message seems clear to me. Your document contains a null character, which is not valid in an XML document. Take it out of the document, and change whatever produced the document to not put it there. (I hope you don't consider Microsoft software to be standards-compliant.)

BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1 - An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xb) was found

Hi,
We are using BAPI_PO_GETDETAIL1 to get the Purchase Order details. it worked well in the past.
But its failing for a particular PO number.
Error Message:An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xb) was found in the element content of the document.
I understand there might be some special character in the record. But it works well at SAP ECC.
Can someone please suggest some solution or workaround?
Thanks,
Anil

Hi,
I faced the same issue recently, and came accross this sap note : 1559677 : XML renderer creates invalid XML.
Take a few moments to read the contents, but here's the most important part :
If an application program uses the SAP XML renderers to create XML 1.0
documents that must strictly conform to the specifications of W3C, this
application program must ensure that problematic characters are removed
from the data before transferring this data to the SAP XML renderer.
So, you need to clean up the characters by yourself...
Best regards,
Wouter

An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x19) was found in the CDATA section.

First my declaration in the xml file was:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
Then since the error(Exception:java.io.UTFDataFormatException: invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence (0x3f)) resulted for "�", I changed it to:
"<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>"
Now for some cases I have an error:
Exception:org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x19) was found in the CDATA section.
What do I do NOW?
What wrong have I been doing in the past?
How could I make sure that no such encoding errors result?
Thanking you in anticipation,
Cheers

Possibly got some invalid non-printing character in there somewhere... possibly as a result of conversion between platforms etc. Or you are parsing a file that was encoded using a totally different character set to the ones you're attempting to read it with. What originally created the XML file you are trying to parse?

Fix Invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1c) before xml data parsing

How to fix the error :- "An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1c) was found in the element content of the document."
This error message is generated before parsing of xml data.
So how to filter the unwanted characters like 0x1c during XML file generation?

ASCII has nothing to do with it. XML is a text format and so an XML file may only include text characters. 0x7 isn't a text character, it's a control character, and it isn't allowed to occur in an XML file.
As for how to identify which character is causing the problem, the error message tells you that.

An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xc)

Hello all...
I am trying to build an XML document from a database query (SQL Server)... using Apache's Xalan/Xerces xml/xsl parser.... and the Xerces keeps throwing this exception:
An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xc) was found in the element content of the document.
when looking at the content... I do find some unicode characters: ��
My XML header is set to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>but it seems to have no influence. I tried (just for troubleshooting) to enclose the field in a <![CDATA[]]> block, but it threw the same error.
I am using org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser to parse the XML.
My parsing code looks like this:
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml)));is there something else I am missing?

Open it with your text editor.Try to save it in the
Unicode format. I also suggest you to check out:
http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_encoding.asp
Hello! Thanks for the response... I found the error, something that wasn't immediately related to Java... the front-end application is Cold Fusion... and the connection to SQL Server was via ODBC... and something strange was happpening to the translation of the copyright character... where is was indeed invalid.
Cold Fusion on Win2k is unicode compliant, but there appears to be something odd with the ODBC driver.
Thanks again

Invalid XML Character (Unicode: 0x0)

Hello guys,
I have a problem with one mapping. The error is that there is an invalid character ( Unicode: 0x0 ). I have seen this is the null character, but how can I found it?
I can't test the message mapping because we have a dynamic configuration function, or there is anyway to test it avoiding the function?
How can I know what is the wrong character? There is any tool that opening the file I can see the character in error.
The scenario is File -> PI -> Proxy
The error is in the message mapping of PI, and file is being taken with Content Conversion, Text Format and UTF-8.
In message mapping the occurence is 0..unbounded so there are no mandatory fields.
Normally this interface is running well but sometimes we have this error.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Xavi.

Hi Xavi,
" suppose we have to do it before to take the file, or another way could be to take the file without content conversion, and with a java mapping delete the nulls and create the message we send to R/3.
What do you think about this?"
Ans)
Yes that's correct. You can follow this blog http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/4018
where without FCC the mapping code directly creates the target XML. you can add code to replace all null characters as example shown below
String line = bin.readLine();
String s="";
for(int i=0;i<line.length();++i)
if(line.charAt(i)!=)0X00)
s=s+line.charAt(i);
line=s;
Any source interface is fine in interface mapping and no need to use FCC. Rest all setrtings will be normal as per the blog.

Anupam

Invalid XML character. (Unicode: 0x7)

Hi There,
i get this Exception when i parse an XML file.

Basically, the data for the XML are picked from my 8i database and when i use a SAX parser to validate the formed XML, i get the exception above. The character do not appear to be outside ASCII range to me.
Any idea how i cld overcome this problem or identify which/what character is causing this problem? Am using a xmk4j 2.x parser.
Tks is advance.

"&# 19" is an invalid XML character.

HI!
I have created a query template which runs an Oracle stored procedure:
CALL Stored_Proc_Name('[Param.1]','[Param.2]',:x).
When I test it and show result in "text/html" it works well.
Now, I have added an "SQL Query action bloc" in a BLS which referred to that last query template. When I'm trying to generate sample XML of the action bloc, Im getting the following error message:
"There was an error generating sample XML.
Error message: Character reference
"& #19" is an invalid XML character."
I did a search in my result but I didn't find any weird character.
Also, I did try to output the result of my query template in "text/xml" format. I was able to see some results but i was getting a JAVA error on the page: Invalid character.
Any idea of what this could be and to resolve it without encoding database content?

Marie-Helene,
It may very well be that a non-unicode (unfriendly xml character) symbol ended up in the db through an import of some sort or a copy/paste. If you can focus on the string fields like a comment field, etc. you may be able to filter your query a bit to see where or which record is not playing well with the query template.
It is possible that sending the saved query template results to an iGrid may work since xml is not in the mix. If that works and you can narrow it down you may be able to see the strange character(s) visibly in the applet.
Another thing to try would be to run a query in a format such as: http://<servername>:<port>/Lighthammer/Illuminator?QueryTemplate=Folder/NameQuery&Content-Type=raw/binary
The raw binary feed is the same used by the applets, but when the browser gets the results it won't know what to do with the mime-type and IE will give you the Open/Save As dialog. If you save it to disk you may be able to find the character and position by opening the saved file with a text editor.

RFC to JDBC - Character reference invalid XML character

Dear all Gurus,
I have developed a RFC to JDBC scenareo and when trying to pass data i get a error saying (sxmb_moni) - "Runtime exception occurred during application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_de_cx_xd01_va01_2_Siebel_; com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException:Character reference ("&#00") is an invalid XML character"
I dont pass any blank values here & tried to pass one value(there is only one not null value in the table) to the Oracle Table again above error accurs.

Hi,
You can solve this problem performing following steps in your ECC system:
1. Go to transaction sm59 and locate the RFC Destination for your PI system. Double-click to open it.
2. Perform a "Unicode Test" using the button in top menu or pressing Ctrl+F5. The result will either say "Target is a unicode system" or "is NOT a unicode system".
3. Go to "MDMP & Unicode" tab page and set Non-Unicode or Unicode connection mode, depending on the result of your test in step 2.
Alternatively, you can also find your Sender Communication Channel in PI's ID and set the Unicode indicator there - it should be consistent with what is set in sm59 in your backend system.
Hope this helps,
Greg
