BPM Error - Invalid XML

Hi experts,
I have the following scenarios in PI 7.0 SP20:
An interface that sends a Syncronous Message to BPM (via Webservice) by using the container type S/A Brigde to response to the soap request. However, a strange error occurs when the XML get into the BPM flow and then raising this message error:
HANDLE_SERVICE_EXCEPTION - HANDLE_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
SEND_SYNCHRON - No valid XML Message Specified
I tried to change this interface to send an Asyncronous request, but the message get stuck into the queue in SMQ2 with the status 'SYSFAIL - Permanent Error in BPE', and activating the queue afterwads, the message was processed sucessfully.
The fact is that the sometimes the interface works fine and sometimes the same XML raise this error.
PS: I've tried to stop/start the BPE Engine, clear the old workitens in SWWL, clear the data cache, repeat the Workflow activation in SXI_CACHE, but nothing solved my problem. Does anyone have any idea???
Best regards,
Gilberto

Thanks Jason,
Actually, after many hours spent on this issue, I've got the problem solved.
I had to rebuild the whole BPM flow again in a new object and deleted the older one, and then the interface started to work perfectly, even with the exactly same structure (containers, etc.).
The most problably explanation would be that the workflow builder in ABAP Stack maybe had generated some garbage because BPM was changed sereral times in the Repository, causing this issue.

Gilberto

Invalid xml declaration

Hi all,
Seem to be having a little difficulty. When I try and load my xml file into MSWord using the template builder I get this error:
Invalid xml declaration: Line 1, position 5, file pos 4, source: <?xml version="1.0"?> url that then points to my file.
I am at a total loss as to why this is? I have declared the following. My xml version is declared in line 1.

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.
Regards
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.

XML Parser error Invalid Char

When using proxy to download data from ECC to XI -- XML parser throws this error --
com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0x1a(:main:, row:1, col:50831067) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.Transformer.checkParserException
Is there are setting to handle such hexadecimal charaters?
Right now the option is to use java code to scan this XML document for such char's and replace with space before message mapping....I am eager to know a better solution .Thanks

Hi,
Did you ever get an answer to this question?
I'm seeing a similar issue where ECC is sending an invalid character 0x13 in an XML message. I would have expected the adapter to encode this properly in an XML document.
Isn't this basic, foundational stuff? It's preparing and sending an invalid XML document.
What am I missing and/or what is ECC missing?

Xml parsing error: invalid character

We started receving below error while opening PDF forms in the browser , its started happening from today for several users. They were using IE and Adobe Reader 10.1
Any one saw this error before?

We rolled back to Adobe Reader 10.1.3 , works perfect.

Mapping error: Character reference "&# 00" is an invalid XML character

Hi All,
Iam performing the RFC(R/3) -> PI(7.1) -> SOAP (third party software) ; Synchronous scenario.
The messages are reaching the PI server , but the a mapping errors is occurring due to dummy characters ""& #00" been sent to the XI system.
Is this due to the R/3 sending the invalid characters or these been generated in PI system. Would you suggest any notes,patches to resolve the issue?

Hi,
If you go through this link last page and last para, which says..

Invalid InputSource Error using XML Parser V2

I'm using the following code to read xml from
a clob field in an Oracle database.
try
// Parse xsl and xml documents
parser = new DOMParser();
parser.setPreserveWhitespace(true);
Statement sqlSel=conn.createStatement();
ResultSet xmlDet=sqlSel.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM USER_XML WHERE IHC_USER_ID='123456789'");
if (xmlDet.next())
CLOB xmlCLOB= ((OracleResultSet)xmlDet).getCLOB(2);
int index=0;
Reader clobStream=xmlCLOB.getCharacterStream();
parser.parse(clobStream);
Everything seems to work fine, and I can
create a String from the stream which contains the entire XML document. However, if I try to do the above and parse the Stream, or alternatively parse the String resulting from the stream, I get the following Error:
nvalid InputSource.
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.flushErrors()
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.error(int, int, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, int, java.lang.Exception, int, boolean)
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.error(oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLReader, java.lang.String, int, java.lang.Exception, int, boolean)
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLReader.pushXMLReader(org.xml.sax.InputSource)
void oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParser.parse(java.lang.String)
void xmlquerydb.testParse()
void xmlquerydb.main(java.lang.String[])
Any ideas what could cause this?

I'm quite sure the xml documents are valid.
At present, I'm just using booklist.xml,
which comes as an example with the XML SQL
utility. The problem is not really with the
parsing (If I convert the xml into a url then it parses fine).
My real problem is pulling the document out
of a CLOB field. Regardless of what I pass to the parser( a string or a stream), or which xml its parsing, I still get the Invalid inputsource error.

How to fix the error "Invalid Item ID /index.xml The item you are ....?

Hi:
I'm working with collaboration at NW2004 EP 6 SP19. When using some pre-defined pages I get the following error:

The item you are attempting to access does not exist. Check whether the name of the associated repository is correct.
If I duplicate an existing default template everything works fine, but when customizing I get the error when I execute it from the room.
Thanks a lot for your time on this thread.

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?

OSB 10.31 - Invalid xml error

Hello,
after updating a jar file containing a few java callouts I get the following error on a proxy service (shown in OSB console in Conflicts):
Invalid xml: Expected element 'stage@http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/pipeline/config' instead of 'stage@http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/stages/config' here in element pipeline@http://www.bea.com/wli/sb/pipeline/config
I tried exporting the proxy service and reading it's XML config. It seems ok - all stages in the pipeline have the same namespace prefixes and definitions. Also, when I compare the XML before and after JAR file update, it's identical.
This proxy service does not do any java callouts, just calls another proxy service that does. It has XOP/MTOM Support enabled (by value).

I have this error too.
There was no indication as to which part of the message flow was causing the error.
So I deleted bits until the error went away.
I tracked it down to a Log stage in the Service Error Handler. No idea what was wrong. I deleted it, Saved/Activated, then re-created it, Saved/Activated.
There was nothing wrong with the stage (validated and tested ok), and I re-created it to be identical to the stage I deleted.
But the problem went away....
