I have a rest API which I am trying to call from Informatica (IICS) service call (Integration Application process).The Target rest API is POST rest API which accept XML in body and the first line of request XML is <!DOCTYPE.

The issue is when I am trying to assign the request in IICS service call as formula I am getting validation error as "XPST0003: Expected '--' or '[CDATA[' after '<!".

Thanks for your help.

You cannot directly include a <!DOCTYPE> declaration within the XML payload sent in the body of a REST request within Informatica IICS.

To pass the <!DOCTYPE in the Informatica REST service request body, you can escape the <!DOCTYPE declaration as follows:

<![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE your-doctype-here>]>
