Symptom
When exporting a report through the Report Center, output file is generated in a generic format rather than .XML
Environment
SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite
Reproducing the Issue
- Access the report center
- Try to download a report file definition through the option export
- Check the output file
- It gets generated with a generic file extension rather than .XML
Cause
This is commonly caused by the use of coma "," or the semi column ";" in the reports' names. Although many special characters are supported and names like "File(name)sample<SAP>SUpport-demo _" could be used, the coma in particular will make the export fail for the .XML file.
Resolution
To solve this it is only needed to remove any coma "," or semi column ";" from the reports' names.
