APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
Byte Order Marker (BOM) is used to determine the encoding of the payload. If the BOM is not delivered in a single TCP packet and is split among multiple packets and those packets are not joined by underlying OS before passing to DataPower, parsing of the payload will fail with the following error message for utf16 payloads. Incomplete mark up or missing element at offset 0
Local fix
* simple workaround for service with rule 1st action being xform action with input context INPUT: - change request type from XML (or SOAP) to Non-XML * Workaround if 1st action is not xform action with input context INPUT: - change service XML or SOAP request type to Non-XML - add INPUT-GWS(store://identity.js)-input as first rule action - change all actions with "INPUT" input context to use "input" context instead
Problem summary
DataPower might not parse UTF16 XML if Byte Order Mark (BoM) is split on different TCP packets.
Problem conclusion
Fix is available in 2018.4.1.12 and 10.0.0.1 For a list of the latest fix packs available, please see: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/83105
