Symptom
The ExecuteRESTService as part of WebServiceUtilities is causing the '<' in the resulting XML file to be changed to '<'. It also changes different characters.
Environment
- SAP Cloud Applications Studio
- SAP Cloud for Customer
- SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
Calling a REST service third party webservice using WebServiceUtilities.ExecuteRESTService in ABSL scripting.
Cause
This method allows encoding which can change characters in the XML file. An example would be having "&" converted to "&".
Resolution
Using "ExecuteRESTServiceWithoutEncoding" should resolve this issue. Please implement "ExecuteRESTServiceWithoutEncoding" in your ABSL script.
