   Error Description: Unsupported Media Type / Unsupported Content Type is received
   Sent By: Web Service
   Service Interface: Employee Master Data Replication In

The error Unsupported Content Type is received is received because in the Web Service request on the customer’s side, no Content-Type into HTTP header has been set. For correct request processing a valid Content-Type should be set.
Other situation is that the field Content-Type in the HTTP request informs "text/plain", which is an invalid value.

The most typical Content-Types and the ones that SOAP's protocol only accept are the following:

• SOAP 1.1: Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
• SOAP 1.2: Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
