Symptom
After H2 release you have noticed that your outbound integration created within integration center is not properly treating special characters when the output payload is expected in XML.
For example, before the release you would see a field with special characters like the example below:
<Field>Fleet & Facility</Field>
Now, after the release your are seeing the same field as the example below:
<Field>Fleet & Facility</Field>
Because of that your integration started to fail.
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors Integration Center
Reproducing the Issue
- Create an outbound integration in integration center
- Chose the format of the outbound integration to be XML
- Map any field in which the next contains special characters like "&"
- Trigger the replication and see that from Integration Center side no error happens
- Open the XML and notice that instead of & which is the correct way to treat "&" you'll simply see & which will cause errors on your downstream integrations
Cause
This is a known regression from H2 release
