Troubleshooting
Problem
An error is thrown in IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM) Excel Import Utility log when you attempt to import test artifacts from a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet:
Example:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1f) was found in the element content of the document
The importer tool generates XML from the spreadsheet's data to post the content to the ETM server. If the content contains invalid character, the server's XML parser cannot process that data.
Symptom
A generic error in the ETMExcel Import Utility UI:
Error 400 Bad Request
A more detailed error in Mso2Rqm_Debug.log. Example:
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1f) was found in the element content of the document
