Data integration

Hi Guys,

We would like to do automated data integration with SF. I'm using a platform that has SOAP capabilities.
We are trying to login using this URL: http://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/38.0

then posting the following:
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <tns:login xmlns:tns="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
  <tns:username>myName@Company123.com</tns:username> 
  <tns:password>passwordToken</tns:password> 
  </tns:login>

But I get the below error:
   <sf:exceptionCode>UNKNOWN_EXCEPTION</sf:exceptionCode>
                    <sf:exceptionMessage>The processing instruction target matching &quot;[xX][mM][lL]&quot; is not allowed.</sf:exceptionMessage>

any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi Tejas,

Thanks, found that a couple hours ago, but you are right and just missing the header info.
That what really threw me off.

So the call would look like this: 
http://login.salesforce.com/services/Soap/c/38.0

Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: ""

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
    <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:login>
         <urn:username>username@company.com</urn:username>
         <urn:password>passwordToken</urn:password>
      </urn:login>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

but thanks a mill for the help...!!!!!

Hi,

I think you need to remove <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>  and then try.

Thanks

Hi Tejas,

That worked, but now I get this. 
<faultcode>soapenv:VersionMismatch</faultcode>
<faultstring>The SOAP request must use SOAP 1.1, did not recieve a SOAP 1.1 Envelope as the document root</faultstring>
I've Googled and searched, but there is no clear sample of the SOAP 1.1
Do you know where I can find some good trouble shooting tips or sample code ?

Thanks.

Please see below URL which provide sample code for SOAP 1.1 request and response:
https://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/

Also please see below sample code which i have extacted from SOAPUI for login method from enterprise wsdl:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
    <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:login>
         <urn:username></urn:username>
         <urn:password></urn:password>
      </urn:login>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Let me know if this help you in trouble shooting.

Thanks
