This XML output, containing delivery information, template information, index data and invoice data can be supplied to the BPA debug team to ensure relevant and efficient debug support. To generate the XML output file:

  1. Choose System Administrator responsibility.

  2. Select Define under Concurrent : Program and query BPA child print program.

  3. Check "Trace Enabled" flag and set output type to "XML".

  4. Run BPA master print program and the child program will produce XML output.

Ensure that you undo the steps above when you are ready to generate the PDF output.
