Error: SBL-EAI-50228: Error While Generating the Sample XML for Siebel Reports 8.1.1.10

Symptom:

In Siebel 8.1.1.10, while generating the sample XML, an error occur as "File could not be created as the directory specified for the file creation is not valid.(SBL-EAI-50228)"

Root Cause:

Issue is already identified as Known defect "16449316 ERROR WHILE GENERATING SAMPLE XML FROM ADMIN-BI PUBLISHER REPORTS PAGE", It is targeted to be fixed in Siebel 8.1.1.11 Fix pack.

This occurs because of 1) a new parameter EAIFileTransportFolders introduced as new feature in 8.1.1.10 Fix Pack. This parameter allows you to restrict write access for the EAI File Transport to specific folders within the Siebel file system. 2) parameter "XMLP Report Data.cfg Dir" for "XMLP Report Server" component in Unix format for Windows environment.

Solutions:

1) As a temporary workaround change the parameter "XMLP Report Data.cfg Dir" for "XMLP Report Server" component with value "\TEMP\" and then it will generate the sample xml data files in this folder

2) Or, rather than generate the xml file in the temp folder, do the following:
a. For Windows environment, change the path format to \xmlp\data\. No change is required for Unix environment for this part

b. Change the "EAI File Transport Folder List" parameter in the Enterprise and "XMLP Report Server" server component to include the correct path.

 

c. Restart the  "XMLP Report Server" server component.
