When retrieving the logs, if you see there is an exception saying "java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast class java.lang.Double to class java.lang.String"

OR "java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.Double cannot be cast to java.lang.String".

It is most likely due to incorrect configuration in the XML template defined.

• The misconfiguration might be the standard field is not following the Data Type it should.
• It is always good practice to verify if all the Standard fields are of the same Data type defined in the Configuration guide.
• There was another scenario that the field "numberOpenings" was a having the <default-value> tag defined which was also causing the issue
• Removing the <default value > tag has solved the issue.
• Another scenario occurred in which the field "erpAmount" had a <default-value> tag defined which was causing this issue. Again, Removing this tag solves the issue.
