Re: We changed from 2021.1 to 2024.1 version of Soatest, there is a difference in compare

Please allow me to copy my explanation and response from Traffic Viewer/Diff tool issue:

You show these extra attributes:

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true"

This is the typical way to say that the element represents a null pointer as opposed to an empty string, for example.

This is an intentional change made a few years ago for the SOAtest 2021.2 release.
From the SOAtest 2021.2 release notes:

SOA-8013 Database Tool Returns zero or empty string for null values

Previously, the result set XML did not distinguish whether a value was a null as opposed to empty string or zero but now it does. The Traffic Viewer's Table view will also now render null values a special way, those that have xsi:nil="true" in the XML representation.

and this can't be turned off?

No. Please update your Diff controls, for example.

Re: Soatest 2021.1 issue: SSL Error: Received fatal alert: protocol_version

TLSv1.3 was enabled in Java 8u341 in July 2022. https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/8u341-relnotes.html
I see that you have SOAtest 2021.1 which predates that.
Two possible solutions are:
1) Download the latest Java 8 (u341 or newer) and launch SOAtest with -Zjava_home C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.8.0_341/

2) Upgrade to SOAtest 2022.1 which includes Java 11.
