XML parameter to a webservice - UpdateListItems

[former_member185846]

Dear Experts,

I need to call the sharepoint webservice UpdateListItems from SAP PI 7.31. This webservice takes in 2 params - List name and Updates.

Updates - This is kind of inner xml like

<Batch OnError='Continue' ListVersion='1' ViewName=''> <Method ID='1' Cmd='New'><Field Name='Title'>"Test"</Field></Method></Batch>

When I populate the above value to this parameter, the entity characters are getting replaced - for ex, < to &lt; - and hence the webservice call is failing. I tried sending the inner xml within CData..but no luck..

Any suggestions please?

Thanks

How do you know it's the translation that makes the web service fail?

Do you have an error or log of some sort to show?

from what I know this "translation" usually takes place and it shouldn't cause any problems.

Also - if you can enclose the WSDL you are using it will be helpful.

Hi,

please check what encoding the Web service expects. Try to change the encoding at the adapter level by standard module.

Ambrish, The issue here is with the xml entities not with the special characters.

I know... that link was just a pointer towards encoding change....

It might be an encoding issue as well.
