Troubleshooting Method

When the report was submitted, it completed with a warning. The message in the log stated:

+————- 1) PUBLISH ————-+

Beginning post-processing of request 264770 on node ERPTEST at 29-MAY-2006 10:34:20.

Post-processing of request 264770 failed at 29-MAY-2006 10:34:20 with the error message:

One or more post-processing actions failed. Consult the OPP service log for details.

+————————————–+

To view the OPP service log, OPP must be accessed from the Oracle Applications Manager.

1. Logon to Oracle Applications Manager in TEST.

2. Ensure that Application Services is selected, and then click Go.

3. Click Output Post Processor.

4. Click Output Post Processor again.

5. Click Log.

This is the OPP service log. The following was noted:

Caused by: oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XPathException: Unknown expression at EOF: .//for each:G_LINES.

at oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XSLProcessor.reportException(XSLProcessor.java:782)

at oracle.xdo.parser.v2.XSLProcessor.newXSLStylesheet(XSLProcessor.java:564)

… 15 more

From this log, there was an error with G_LINES. It should have been for‑each:G_LINES. Therefore, this would be the starting point to resolve this problem.

To fix this file, a working XML template file, “Revised UTT Invoice V3 (file 1).rtf”, was opened and compared to the “TDR1 VS.rtf” file (file 2). The tags were meticulously compared, together with the XML source, “XML Transaction Detail Report.xml”.

Changes Made

1. The group tags were checked to ensure that they had ‘for-each’ and not ‘for each’.

2. The header consisted of an images and text grouped together. This was replaced with a single header image (as file 1 had it).

3. The text was being shifted in the output report. Tables were used instead of tabs to keep the text formatted.
