Symptom
You noticed that, while opening the XML file from the Data Extraction, it is empty or corrupt on your text editor program (such as Excel).
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign 1802.
Reproducing the Issue
-
Go to Application and User Management;
- Click on Data Extraction view;
- Select the required Run ID;
- In Extraction Files, select the XML file;
- Then click on Download;
- You will see that the file is corrupt or empty.
Cause
The developers are improving the Data Extraction tool and they performed a compression for the resulted file, via zipping it during the download.
Resolution
To overcome this scenario, please change the file suffix to ".zip" (instead of ".xml") and open the file with a zipping tool (such as WinZip, WinRar, 7zip).
