3715563 - Non-BIB: "An error occurred when deserializing in the simple transformation program" error in Employee Master Data Replication due to incorrect payload data

Symptom

  • Employee master data replication fails in the Data Replication Monitor (DRM), showing status as "pending".
  • Error message observed in SXMB_MONI: "INCORRECT_PAYLOAD_DATA" and "Error while processing message payload An error occurred when deserializing in the simple transformation program /1SAI/xxxxxxx Value Yes is not a valid truth value according to the XML format for ABAP".

Environment

  • Employee Integration EC to ERP On Premise
  • SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central integration with SAP Human Capital Management for SAP Business Suite
  • Legacy/Non-BIB Replication via Dell Boomi

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Log into the ERP system.
  2. Navigate to transaction SXMB_MONI.
  3. Enter the receiver interface name as EmployeeMasterDataReplicationRequest_In.
  4. Execute the transaction.
  5. Observe the logs for errors, specifically the "INCORRECT_PAYLOAD_DATA" error and details regarding the value.

Cause

The error occurs when the system processes unexpected unicode characters in the XML payload. Specifically, the element in the payload is set to "Yes" or "No", which does not match the expected WSDL definition for the EmployeeMasterDataReplicationRequest_In webservice. The WSDL specifies this element as an indicator, requiring "true" or "false" values.

Resolution

  1. Update the value in the XML payload to "true" or "false", as per the WSDL definition for the EmployeeMasterDataReplicationRequest_In webservice.
  2. Retest the replication process to verify if the error persists.
  3. If the error continues, review the WSDL definition for the EmployeeMasterDataReplicationRequest_In webservice to identify any additional conflicts.
