Invalid char in text.

Hi all,
I just recieved this nice error when loading a file:
Error: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Invalid char in text.
Its was cause by a backspace character (^H or /b or 08). Shouldn't this be supported in utf-8???

Hi all!
I seem to be sailing in a similar boat like Mr. James!
I get an error like this,
<Line 98278, Column -13440>: XML-0221: (Fatal Error) Invalid char in text.
oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException: Invalid char in text.
It is caused by a carriage return character.
Help Anyone?
Regards,
Sunil.

Receiving "Invalid char in text." error from file adapter

I'm testing a file adapter and am receiving the following error:
Invalid char in text.
The invalid character seems to be the ascii Record Separator character, Hex 1E, HTML 

Is it possible for me to modify the file adapter schema to handle this character?

The HTML description should have been this (minus space characters)

Oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Invalid char in text. in BPEL

Hi,
Non Recoverable Business Fault :
<bpelFault><faultType>1</faultType><operationErroredFault xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/workflow/taskService"><part name="payload"><operationErroredFault xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/bpel/workflow/taskService"><faultInfo>oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Invalid char in text.</faultInfo></operationErroredFault></part></operationErroredFault></bpelFault>
I got the above error before calling to human task from my BPEL process. Any idea?

Assuming this is SOA Suite 11g. Did you start the WLS with UTF8? Is your database using UTF8?
Nothing else is supported.
If you are on unix.
$ export LANG="en_US.utf8"
$ export LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"
Then locale should display something like this
$ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
And then you should be able to start the SOA Suite correctly.

Error with invalid chars found in characteristics

Hi,
I am loading information for this field EKPO-TXZ01 (PO text) into ODS and then into infocube. I have no issue loading this field content into ODS. However from ODS to infocube, I encountered error that says invalid chars found. (This field was defined as chars 40 in the infoobject). At BW customizing, the chars like #, " [] are being maintained. Please advise how to overcome this.

Hi,
From my experience I can say that:
1. Not always assigning permitted characters helps. Especially if chars that you want to pass to the ODS are special chars. And there is too little space in the string with allowable chars.
2. Setting a characteristics as a lower case char helps for its master data. An ODS will not allow to accept data with lower case letters anyway.
3. There are several topics related to your question in this forum with solutions, even with ABAP codes.
Look, for example at this one:

Invalid char in XML from inbound IDoc

I am trying to send a CREMDM IDoc from a 4.6C R/3 system to an XI SP09 system. The IDoc gets sent from the backend system, shows up fine in WE05, but after it gets passed to XI, I encounter a fatal error (in SXMB_MONI) that reads:
com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: Fatal Error: com.sap.engine.lib.xml.parser.ParserException: Invalid char #0x15(:main:, row:1, col:986) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.Transformer.checkParserException(Transformer.java:41) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf3.Transformer.start(Transformer.java:66) ....
Upon checking the payload, I discover an "#" character in one of the fields (at position 986) has mysteriously been transformed to a " " character. XI does not recognize this character and the parser fails.
As I understand, the R/3 system is non-unicode, and XI being unicode could be causing the problem. However, I have no clue how to solve this issue. Deeply appreciate it if any ALE/XI experts can share any insights.
Regards,
Danny

Thanks for all the response. It looks like the "#" character is in fact a control character from the R/3 system, which is a "negative acknowledge" (#0x15) character. This character is not valid for XML and hence it even fails the test tool in Integration Repository. I figured this out from your responses as well as checking the XML payload in XMLSPY (gave me a illegal char code 21 as well, which corresponds to the above hex code for the negative acknowledgement char).
It looks like we have to tackle the problem on the outbound IDoc side, which I am in the midst of figuring out how....

Getting error in mapping execution Invalid CHAR

hi
i am having file to RFC scenario, and the input file is an xml file and i am getting erron in mapping as below but when i download the payload and load it in the integration repository mapping tool ,i am able to execute it succesfully. i think the problem is with the encoding , i tried with processing it in utf-8 and ansi. both the format it is giving the sam error.

Yes !Our verstion is SAP EHP 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.1 so how can i do this.
__instead for fixing in PI i can use the belwo java mapping__

        throws StreamTransformationException {
        // removing non valid characters
     BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(in);
     out = stripNonValidXMLCharacters(br.readLine());
        // implement mapping ...
public String stripNonValidXMLCharacters(String in) {
    StringBuffer out = new StringBuffer(); // Used to hold the output.
    char current; // Used to reference the current character.
     if (in == null || ("".equals(in))) return ""; // vacancy test.
    for (int i = 0; i < in.length(); i++) {
    current = in.charAt(i); // NOTE: No IndexOutOfBoundsException caught here; it should not happen.
    if ((current == 0x9) ||

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?

Invalid Content-Type:text/html

I have deployed a Web service on WLS 7.0 SP4 (used servicegen to generate the WS).
I'm accessing the webservice from a java client using SUN's jax-rpc pacakge.

The error does not seem to appears in WLS stack. Place a sniffer tool between your client and service to capture more info.

Limiting the Chars in Text Area

Hi,
I am using a TextArea where its property "maxChars" is being set to 250.
It is working fine if we are entering the 250 chars.
But if we have typed more than 250 chars in an editor and than copy-paste those chars, the text box is accepting those chars even if they are more than 250 also.
How to restrict this ? Is there any other property like "maximum" in text area to control this ?

Try applying a check on changing event of TextArea. Check for your maxChars and accrodingly show your message.

Invalid Char could not be found in PSA. Why?

I got an error message in the process chain at DSO activation level. The DSO activation level got failed and shows red.
But in the DTP monitor the QM status shows green. The display message shows
1. @5C@     Error when assigning SID: Action VAL_SID_CONVERT, InfoObject 0REVISION     @35@
2. @5C@     Value '#' (hex. '0023') of characteristic 0REVISION contains invalid characters     @35@
3. @5C@     Process 000347 returned with errors     @35@
in PSA the data package has 332 with 20000 records for every package. I couldn't find the invalid chars for info object 0revision. I could see the 0revision in the PSA. But how to get the exact error row with these above information.
any idea?????
Thanks,
Draj S.

Hi,
as you said there are 332 data packages with 20K records each, in which datapackage have you checked for the error record?
check the record no 347 which may be having the error record - try to edit it save the records in PSA and repeat the load and activate the data.
3rd column is the data request number -- check for the data record no 347 and check for the value for 0revision. if there are any special char like # in your case try to edit the record and reload.

Remove Invalid Char in BW Transformation

Hi Gurus,
I would like to seek for your keen knowledge about invalid characters that I do not know if it is just an accidental input in EKBE table. for CHARGE field. The invalid characters are ตัวเลขไทย. So my initial update would be at RSKC. But the activation of the DSO had error still regarding the invalid character. So second option is to modify the value in PSA then data mart to DSO. But I am wondering if this character should be on the reporting layer. Is there a way that this character be available in both PSA, DSO and Incube level without modifying? Is there a function module or a program I could include in the transformation to accept this kind of values?
Your answers are very much appreciated.

Hi,
first check the source level editing the records
then check the BW side in RSKC - ALL_CAPITAL_PLUS_HEX
check the table - RSALLOWEDCHAR - those special char to maintain or not.
Thanks,
Phani.

Display Unicode Chars in text box

This seems like it should be simple enough, but apparently, I am dense...
I want to display a Unicode char in a text box based on its hex code input. For instance, given x2190, I want to display a Left Arrow in a text box (x2190 is the code for left arrow). I tried Flatten To String function then wiring the string to a text box with Force Unicode set, but that doesnt work.
Or is there a simpler way to get non-ascii chars like arrows and such to display? Next stop is little bmps in a picture ring...ack
TIA

Read char from text file

I am trying to read in questions, possible answers and the correct answer from a text file.
The text file looks like this
1. what is blah blah blah?
a. something
b. something else
c. none of the above
b
where the last line of the file is a character which is the correct answer.
I can read all these in as a string but I have to read the last line in as a character .
can you please help.

I'm not sure if this is what you need but, take a look:
import java.io.*;
public class questions
public static void main(String[] args)
try
Question a=new Question();
ObjectOutputStream out=new ObjectOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("answers.txt")));
out.writeObject(a);
ObjectInputStream in=new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream(new File("answers.txt")));
Question b=(Question)in.readObject();
char answer=b.getAnswer();
System.out.println(answer);
catch(IOException e)
System.out.println(e);
catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
System.out.println(e);
class Question implements Serializable
String q;
String a1;
String a2;
String a3;
char c;
public Question()
q=new String("The Question");
a1=new String("1st possible choise");
a2=new String("2st possible choise");
a3=new String("3st possible choise");
c='c';
public void setQuestion(String que)
q=que;
public void setAnswer1(String an1)
a1=an1;
public void setAnswer2(String an2)
a2=an2;
public void setAnswer3(String an3)
a3=an3;
public void setAnswer(char an)
c=an;
public char getAnswer()
return c;
Ofcource all methods in Question class should be adapted to the needs of your program.

S:TextArea How change color for some chars in text?

I have s:TextArea and i need in runtime change color for some chars displayed in text.
How i must to do this correctly?

Initially, a control has no caption. It's not just that the caption string is empty and the caption not visible, but the caption object does not exist.
I think this should probably be changed in future versions, because even if each control had a caption, it would still be a negligible small part of the VI. The current behavior made sense many years ago where HD and memory space was very precious. Not any more!
This issue comes up often enough that it warrants addressing the root of the problem.
It is hard to convince the casual that the caption does not exist if he can simply do a "show caption" at edit time and it will show in all glory, even with the default set to the current label. It is confusing!
There is even an idea about this that seems worth supporting (also read the link in the discussion).
What do you think?
