• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RTCO_SOA_REUSE021 - &1 does not match XSD:token definition ?

  The SAP error message RTCO_SOA_REUSE021 indicates that there is a mismatch between the data being processed and the expected format defined in the XML Schema Definition (XSD). Specifically, the error message states that a certain value does not conform to the expected token definition in the XSD.
  Cause:
  
  Data Format Issue: The value being sent in the XML does not match the expected format. For example, it might contain invalid characters, leading or trailing spaces, or it might be of an incorrect length.
  XSD Definition: The XSD defines a token type, which typically means that the value must not contain whitespace and must be a valid string. If the data includes spaces or is not formatted correctly, it will trigger this error.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with how the data is being mapped from the source to the target, leading to invalid values being sent.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Data: Review the data being sent in the XML message. Ensure that it adheres to the expected format defined in the XSD. Look for:
  
  Leading or trailing spaces
  Invalid characters
  Length constraints
  
  
  Validate Against XSD: Use an XML validation tool to check the XML against the XSD. This can help identify specific issues with the data structure.
  Adjust Mapping: If the data is being transformed or mapped from another source, ensure that the mapping logic correctly formats the data according to the XSD requirements.
  Update XSD if Necessary: If the XSD is outdated or incorrect, consider updating it to reflect the correct requirements for the data being processed.
  Debugging: If you have access to the logs or debugging tools, trace the data flow to identify where the invalid data is being introduced.
  
  Related Information:
