Hi @jyothiranjan_rao

Welcome to the community forum!

Could you post a screenshot of the error you’re receiving? Also if you could post some details about your workflow so we know what you’re trying to accomplish.

Thanks!

It sounds like you have some issue with your xml.

XML names cannot start with “<” as the error message says. If you are working with an external xml file check to make sure that it is formatted correctly.

How to fix this error ?

If you can share screen shot
And use XML validator online
You will get online wen instance from google
Paste your xml value there and it will highlight if any issue with the syntax
