FIX: Error message when you try to generate a schema for an adapter in BizTalk Server 2006: "Error reading WSDL file.[System.InvalidOperationException] There is an error in XML document (190, 41).[System.Xml.XmlException]"

In Microsoft BizTalk Server 2006, you try to generate a schema at design time for one of the following adapters:

• Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne
• Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for J.D. Edwards OneWorld
• Microsoft BizTalk Adapter for Siebel eBusiness Applications

When you do this, the schema generation fails. When this problem occurs, you receive the following error messages:

This problem occurs because some XML characters are not allowed as a part of a field name for the schema or as a part of an element name for the schema in BizTalk Server 2006. For example, the following XML characters are not allowed:

• =
• >=
• <=
• ><
• >
• <
• "
• [
• &
• ]
• (
• '
• *
• ?
