Output generation issues
When the output of your template does not display as you
expected, review these issues and troubleshooting suggestions.
- Generating large documents
Documents are considered large for Rational Publishing Engine when they consist of a thousand or more pages. To decrease the time it takes Rational Publishing Engine to generate large documents, consider using the multipart property in your document specification or changing the contents of your template. - Job cancellations
If you cancel a local document generation, the cancellation might not be acknowledged by Rational Publishing Engine immediately. - Choosing an output format
Each output might generate differently depending on the elements and formatting that are used in a template. - Improving document generation performance
You might shorten the time Rational Publishing Engine takes to generate an output document by trying these steps. - Fixing document generation completion issues
When the output document cannot be generated, try these troubleshooting tips. - Fixing out of memory errors
If the Document Studio or the Launcher applications time out with an out-of-memory error, you can adjust the Java™ heap parameters in the product configuration files to improve performance. - Fixing data attribute not found errors
If you generate your output and the data attribute displays as <data attribute not found>, it means that the attribute used in the template is not found in the data. When that happens, the most common reason is using a schema on a different data source than the one for which the report was designed. - Fixing table display issues
If tables are not displaying correctly in your output, consider adjusting the table properties. - Fixing Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) issues in output
This topic explains how to troubleshoot Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) generation where OLEs are not visible in the Microsoft Word document. - Preventing broken links in Microsoft Word documents
If your Microsoft Word document contains links to other files, moving it to a different computer invalidates the linked information. To make the document self-contained, remove the links from the document. - Fixing macros that are not running
If you run a macro and receive errors when using the remote services, verify that necessary folders are created and that you have the correct permissions to them. - Cleaning your work area
Periodically, clean your work area to delete the content of the temporary files and output files that are generated by Rational Publishing Engine.
