  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • For an outbound web service request, nillable elements having a
    null
    value and excluded from the SOAP request instead of included
    with
    xsi:nil=true
    
    
    This seems to be an issue with just top-level elements as child
    element behave as expected.
    
    This occurs even with
    
    <enable-advanced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl>true</enable-adv
    anced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl>

    *                      value is ignored from SOAP request      *

    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    This issue is caused by the parser not correctly processing the
    xsi:nil=true attribute. When the element is null, the target
    message
    for that element will be unset.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix provided will take into consideration processing the
    xsi:nil=true attribute. It will add the element and
    make it output as nil when the property in 99Local
    file is enabled as follows:
    <enable-advanced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl>true</enable-adv
    anced-parameter-properties-for-wsdl>
    
    Install/Dependency information is available in the readme.txt
    on FixCentral. When the user goes to the download files page
    in FixCentral, the readme will be available with the fix
    package as a separate download.
