You have non-ASCII characters in your parameter names, which may cause issues with XML format. Don't try to manually edit the XML file as this is exactly what is causing the "Schemas validity error".

 

Try exporting the policy as Binary (.plc format) as this is effectively a mySQL backup format which should get restored/imported with no issues.

 

If you are saying that a colleague is able to import it it might be due to a different version of ASM your colleague is using!

 

If you still have the problem it is worth raising a Support case with F5 Support.
