IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: An IDocIllegalTypeException occurred while parsing IDocXML:state=READING_SEGMENT_STARTTAG

[suman_saha]

Hello Experts,

We are getting a strange issue while trying to post IDOC into ECC through PO 7.31 Single Stack.

We are having a custom segment in IDOC with a single field.If we don't create that segment in PO,i.e. if we don't map this segment the IDOC is getting posted.But if we map the custom segment(setting SEGMENT=1),we are getting error "com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: com.sap.conn.idoc.IDocParseException: (7) IDOC_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE: An IDocIllegalTypeException occurred while parsing IDocXML for type <*IDOC_NAME*>:

state=READING_SEGMENT_STARTTAG, charPosition=834, lineNumber=1, columnNumber=835".

I have gone through other discussion in scn related to this exception,but they are not similar to our problem.

Please suggest.

Regards,

Suman

Restart has done the trick.

Hi,

We restarted the server. The IDOC metadata was not getting refreshed even after re-importing.

Suman,

Delete the Metadata from Idoc Adapter and let it Regenerate at Runtime. Also Try to Reimport Idoc and see if it gives any error.

Thanks,

Hi Sunil,

I have re-imported Idoc as many as 10 times,even created separate message and operation mapping,new Idoc receiver channel.But still no luck.
