Problem Note 48792: SAS® Web Report Studio distributions might not be received and the log might contain "Unable to parse XML document"
When distributing a report in SAS Web Report Studio, if the Sender display name includes an &, the distribution fails and the SAS Web Report Studio log contains an error that is similar to this one:
ERROR [] com.sas.report.output.management - An error occurred: Unable to parse XML document. The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Unable to parse XML document. The entity name must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference. at com.sas.services.util.XMLUtil.convertInputSourceToDocument(XMLUtil.java:484) at com.sas.services.util.XMLUtil.convertStringToDocument(XMLUtil.java:394) at com.sas.report.output.management.publishing.smtp.SmtpPublisher.publish(SmtpPublisher.java:37) at com.sas.report.output.management.publishing.PublishingManager.smtpPublish(PublishingManager.java:102) at com.sas.report.output.management.publishing.PublishingManager.publish(PublishingManager.java:67) at com.sas.report.output.management.bursting.BurstController.publish(BurstController.java:369) at com.sas.report.output.management.bursting.BurstController.generateAndPublishBurstReports(BurstController.java:221) at com.sas.report.output.management.bursting.BurstDriver.generateOutput(BurstDriver.java:100) at com.sas.report.output.management.OutputGenerator.generateOutput(OutputGenerator.java:179) at com.sas.report.output.management.OutputGenerator.run(OutputGenerator.java:119) at com.sas.report.output.management.OutputGenerator.run(OutputGenerator.java:222) at com.sas.report.output.management.OutputGenerator.main(OutputGenerator.java:244)
As a workaround, replace the & with the word "and."
