Fixing template errors

When you open a template, you might receive a Problems detected in the loaded template message. These problems often occur during the replacement of data source schema from older versions of Rational® Publishing Engine. From the Problems view, you can identify and address any data reference errors that exist in your template before you generate a document.

Before you begin

  1. In the Document Studio application, open a template.
  2. If errors exist in the template, a Problems detected in the loaded template message is displayed.
  3. Click OK. The Problems view opens by default.
  4. Expand the Errors list.

About this task

Template errors usually occur in these situations:
  • A query or attribute is no longer available in the selected data source schema
  • An abbreviated version of the query or attribute name is used when the full path is required
  • A property of a query or attribute that is used in a condition or script expression is no longer available in the template
Important: Until the errors are fixed, you cannot generate the template into a document from the Launcher 1.2.1 application or from another product that incorporates the Rational Reporting for Document Generation 1.2.1 core component. You might be able to use the templates in versions earlier than 1.2.1, but the results of those document generations might vary.
