Thank you S Blakely,

 

To answer you question,

Do you have the correct schema and wsdl configured in the XML profile? - YES

 

Actually we send Katakana & Hirahana Japanese characters in XML like below,

<v11:frgnfirstName>マレーシア　シンガポール</v11:frgnfirstName>

<v11:frgnlastName>篠田</v11:frgnlastName>

 

It gets converted to below,

<v11:frgnfirstName>マレーシア　シンガフール</v11:frgnfirstName>

<v11:frgnlastName>ç¯ ç”°</v11:frgnlastName>

 

Request is blocked at F5 with Validation Error: Malformed XML data

 

Will relax_unicode_in_xml to 1 resolve this issue and F5 will pass the request to services end?

Br,

Nakul

You will need to test to determine whether the issue gets resolved.

 

But I'm pretty sure it might.
