Applies to:
PeopleSoft Enterprise PT PeopleTools - Version: 8.48 - Release: 8.4

Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

1.Running XMLP Reports in debug mode helps to narrow down the problem whether in the XML data file/Template file /Application people code/App engine.

2.XDO Debug creates XDO.log file with detail logging information

3.The files that are created during the XDO logging are related XML, XSL, Translation(XLIFF) and Template files such as PDF, RTF, XSL in the temporary directory specified in
LogDir parameter.

Solution

XML Publisher Global Engine settings are defined in the xdo.cfg file. The default xdo.cfg file is located in the $PS_HOME/appserv directory, which is shared by all application server
and process scheduler domains by default.

The default xdo.cfg file contains the following settings:

<config version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/config/">

<properties>
<!-- System level properties -->
<property name="xslt-xdoparser">true</property>
<property name="xslt-scalable">true</property>
<property name="system-temp-dir">CACHE</property>
<property name="system-cachepage-size">50</property>
<!-- PDF compression -->
<property name="pdf-compression">true</property>

<!-- PDF Security -->

<!-- <property name="pdf-security">true</property> -->
<!-- <property name="pdf-open-password">user</property> -->
<!-- <property name="pdf-permissions-password">owner</property> -->
</properties>
</config>

Steps to Turn ON Logging for XMLP Reports for Debugging.

Create a file named xdodebug.cfg and place it under [PS_HOME]\JRE\Lib] folder.The file should include the following line:

Under Windows
LogLevel=STATEMENT

LogDir=c:\temp

Under Unix
The file Should look like this (point to an appropriate temporary directory under the Unix box)
LogLevel=STATEMENT

LogDir=/ds3/ps/dssgrp/t849xr21/appserv/

Remove xdodebug.cfg when finished replicating the issue.

The logging is specifically useful for troubleshooting the Template(RTF/PDF) or Data File(XML file) specific issues. The generated XML file is the actual data file which is run from
the MS Word Design Helper Preview mode to narrow down the issue.
