Data Is Truncated From The Beginning When Fixed Length Format Is Used (Doc ID 732669.1)

Last updated on MARCH 08, 2017

Applies to:

Oracle(R) BPEL Process Manager - Version: 10.1.3.3.1
This problem can occur on any platform.

Symptoms

If mapping data into a fixed format schema and the data is larger than the target element length,
the data is truncated from the beginning. So for example, if I was mapping the word "apostrophe" into
an element that was defined as a fixed length 5 in the xsd, the data I would receive in the xml
would be "rophe", while "apost" is the expected result.

Testcase
Use File adapter to reproduce this issue.

aaaaqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqbbbb
