Examples: – Low-level: XDOException:java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException –or - Java Exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError – Higher-level: Error generating report output: (235,2309) PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER. Does the report run on the Process Scheduler or Application Server? Does the delivered sample XRFWIN BIP report run in the same environment? Is the issue specific to a particular output format, e.g. PDF, XLS, etc? 31 BI Publisher Troubleshooting for PeopleSoft What are the details of the problem?

32. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | More questions to ask: Is the issue specific to a particular output destination, e.g. WEB, PRINTER, FILE, EMAIL? Does the report run as part of a PSJob? if so, what's the name? is it delivered? Was the XML file actually created before the merge occurred? Once you get the problem template and sample data file, can the behavior be replicated from a comparable environment, or from MSWord with the BIP Plug-in, or from the BIP Template Viewer? (see replication details below) What were the circumstances leading up to the issue?; did it run successfully in the past? on a prior release? or prior platform? 32 BI Publisher Troubleshooting for PeopleSoft What are the details of the problem?

33. Copyright © 2015, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | 33 BI Publisher Troubleshooting for PeopleSoft Where to find the generated template and generated data file?
