Getting error while invoking an external system from an automation agent

[itsgiri]

Hi,
I have created an external system for sending the shipment details to another system by defining a Web Service which will invoke a Bpel process. I want to automate it so i created an automation agent for sending the shipment details to bpel process by calling a service when a shipment is being created. But the automation agent is not working. I am getting an error "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Start of root element expected."

Input schema of bpel process is Transmission.
Payload defined during agent creation is "SHIPMENT".

Thanks,
Girish.

Are you getting this error in OTM or BPEL? Sounds like you have bad xml. Do you have a sample of xml doc? Check it against glog schema. -Jeff

Sorry Jeff I don't have the xml because I am sending shipment details from OTM to another system through external system. And i want to automate it.

The thing is that i want to automate an external system which is invoking a bpel process.
