Solution:

Please note bold Fonts. That indicates that I made a spelling mistake in soap request. Below is my Soap request.

env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://siebel.com/">
   env:Header/>
   env:Body>
      ns1:QueryByExample>
         QueryByExample_Input>
            fLOVLanguageMode>LICfLOVLanguageMode> fPageSize>10fPageSize> fSiebelMessage> fintObjInst> fName>linksfName/> fintObjInst> fSiebelMessage> fStartRowNum>0fStartRowNum> fViewMode>AllfViewMode> QueryByExample_Input> ns1:QueryByExample> env:Body> env:Envelope>

I’m wrong to write the end tag of <fname>. Correct spelling should be </fname>, but not <fname></fname>
