Description

Description:
The client sending the XML request with the text element to BW service throws the error, 'An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x13) was found in the element content of the document.' .

Issue/Introduction

An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x13) was found in the element content of the document.

Resolution

BW throws the error, 'An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x13) was found in the element content of the document.' . This suggests that the request message contains a (Unicode: 0x13) control character. A control character or non-printing character is a code point (a number) in a character set that does not represent a written symbol. They are used as in-band signaling to cause effects other than the addition of a symbol to the text. To correct this issue, identify the invalid characters from the request and remove them before sending to the BW service.
