oData error CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT: System expected the element '{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}entry

[Former Member]

I have an oData service setup in GW, and we are receiving the following error message when testing outside of the SAP GW client (works correctly there). This is a PUT request, and receiving the following error message:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <error xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata"> <code>CX_ST_MATCH_ELEMENT/544FAE4641562346A1372144E7396586</code> <message xml:lang="en">System expected the element '{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}entry'</message> <innererror> <application> <component_id/> <service_namespace>/SAP/</service_namespace> <service_id>ZONLINE_STORE_SRV</service_id> <service_version>0001</service_version> </application> <transactionid>FDC5DDE6F681F12F80D2005056A24790</transactionid> <timestamp>20170118213512.2980000</timestamp> <Error_Resolution> <SAP_Transaction>Run transaction /IWFND/ERROR_LOG on SAP Gateway hub system (System Alias DEVCLNT500) and search for entries with the timestamp above for more details</SAP_Transaction> <SAP_Note>See SAP Note 1797736 for error analysis (https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1797736)</SAP_Note> </Error_Resolution> <errordetails/> </innererror> </error>

In the header, I have Content-Type = application/atom+xml;type=entry;charset=utf-8 and X-CSRF-Token=fetchedtoken

The body is this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<atom:entry xmlns:base="https://*MYURL*/sap/opu/odata/sap/ZONLINE_STORE_SRV/" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices">

<atom:content type="application/xml">
<m:properties>
<d:Email>jane@mycompany.com</d:Email>
<d:Password>MyNewPassword!</d:Password>
</m:properties>
</atom:content>
</atom:entry>

Can anyone tell me how to resolve this issue? I have done quite a bit of research, and all blogs point to the solution above, but it's not working.

How are you calling this update? from UI5?

If you are calling from external rest clients, using a simple request body in json is much easier.
