Hello Akhila,
Thank you for the reply .
I will try to send the URL as mentioned and update the test result.
Also the Ariba guide mentions about not to be sending the HTTP or '/' tags in the URL and wants to be encoded using UTF8 as per below comments;
___________________________________________________
Attachment URL's with Special Characters need to be encoded before sending to AN. Please find the steps to be performed to encode the Attachment URL.
Steps To Encode Attachment URL:
• Please use UTF-8 Encoding for Special Characters and escape the URL to send Attachments.
• The special characters need to be encoded in UTF-8 similar to what is given in below link.
• http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp
• We have tested =,&,[,] with UTF-8 encoding and it worked fine. Attachment went to AN with PO. Please do not encode "http://" in the URL. To check for supported protocol adapter uses substring from java String API to look for "http:" and "https:"
• If : is encoded then adapter recognizes this as unsupported protocol.
• Underscore (_) needs to be escaped as %5F

Pls. let me know if you used any encoding standards to convert the tags to UTF-8 before sending to Ariba Adapter or just sending out the complete URL.
Thanks,
Harish Kurup.
