I am not able to debug it.Please help and also make me understand the nature of the error and what caused it.

Thanks,

The XML that you've attached here certainly appears to be well-formed. Are you certain that it's an instantiation of the WFT that's causing the problem? You could try compiling this manually with iwjobc and see if that works.

Do you get the error before or after you see the data entry form (if any) for this job? Perhaps it's not the WFT that's not well formed, but available_templates.cfg. Is it just this WFT, or all WFTs that show this error?

</workflow>I suggest fixing the cgitask commands, the DTD reference, and temporarilly removing the &'s (in that order) and see if that fixes anything.

Hi,

No this error is not occuring for other workflows. Also, this error comes when I enter values for fields on job definition screen i.e when i click start job/run job button.Also,I made the changes suggested in the other reply and the problem still persists.

Thanks,
Dhruv

So we're back to verifying that the XML that you included initially matches the data that the workflow engine is trying to use. You didn't say if you tried to use iwjobc on the XML you provided, to see if you got the same error or not.

My first step with problems like this is always to turn on debugging in the WFT, and write the XML out to a file, so that the line numbers in the error messages can make sense to me. Your error message doesn't seem to "line up" with the XML you included, so I'd like to see a fresh XML file generated via debug.

When you look at the xml file saved, what line is line 137 ?
when I cut and pasted, I lost formatting.

I'm getting for lines 135-137:

Of course, it APPEARS absolutely fine... hmm...
