    Problem Symptoms:
    The following error message can be found the log file of the failed pipe.

    =====================
    2014-02-04 16:01:04,669 INFO [t-SplitRecords] [c-ZipReader] - nextRecord=new_BELI07.xml
    2014-02-04 16:01:04,670 ERROR [t-SplitRecords] [c-RecordSplitter] - from new_BELI07.xml
    org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.
    =====================

    Cause:
    This error is probably related to a byte order mark (BOM) prior to the actual XML content.
    The encoding can cause some additional bytes/ spaces/ spl characters (invisible in the web browser).
    For example UTF-8 --- EF BB BF
    Parse the returned string and discard the BOM, so SAXParser can process the document correctly.

    Resolution:
    Remove extra the character
    1. Remove with notepad, xml editor or re-save it in XML editor
