    Hello Rich,

     

    What a wild ride.  I figured it out, still more work to do, but the initial test has been successful.

     

    There are 2 portions of it.  In soap UI, the request can be formulated externally in some type of editor and then cut-n-pasted into the pane below the parameters.  Sometimes that pane has to be expanded.  That allowed for the message tests I had to be placed inside.  After talking with our developers for the PeopleSoft implementation, I realized the destination node was wrong.  I changed that, added an XML payload in the data section and was able to get a success.  

     

    Payload Data

    The trick with the payload was to use the XML but it had to have the field definitions preceding the actual data payload.  Once I started working with it, it become much easier.  

    I also wrote some C# code to also test this.  I still have a small component to finish but the initial testing works as expected.

     

    Thank you for you help and I hope I wrote enough here to help someone else that might be struggling with this problem.  

     

    Key takeaways:  Check syntax of To:/From: and provide field definitions before the field data.

     

    Cheers!

Hey dratliff

Can you also publish the payload and headers from your readyapi/soapui request and response please, so i can compare against the postman submission? Ta

You provided the readyapi/soapui response payload i think, but we need the request payload and headers too.
