CLM 4.0.3
RPE 1.1.1.2

I just wanted to do some more development on a Report I had made with 4.0.1 and was not able to connect anymore

My dsx
type=Generic XML
url=https://server/rm/publish/resources?projectURI=_juUEACTLEeGUGJlb_SQL7w
authentication=OAuth1a

CRRPE3011E Error in engine
Cannot retrieve data from https://server/rm/publish/resources?projectURI=_juUEACTLEeGUGJlb_SQL7w. Server returned:
Can not get the OAuthentication security URL to post the user name and password.

I've searched and found no solution. all I found was about authentication type; but not in the launcher

I tried with OAuth
CRRPE3011E Error in engine
Errors occurred when processing C:\Users\kunze\AppData\Local\Temp\RPE\temp\url_1378912488901_81218624.tmp
Original source context https://server/rm/publish/resources?projectURI=_juUEACTLEeGUGJlb_SQL7w
Error is: The entity name must immediately follow the & in the entity reference.

Has something changed? What do I wrong?

I did Upgrade to 1.2.0.1 and changed to OAuth as suggested below
Now the error is: com.ibm.rational.rpe.common.utils.RPEException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x43) was found in the prolog of the document

No clue what the prolog of the document is. I created a new specification from scratch; did not help

Hi Erwin

Seems that you got problems with the authentication. Does your server uses  form authentication?

Could you try using "auto" as authentication method ? Besides the rename of OAuth1a to OAuth nothing has changed.

Hi Jorge
Ok..understood. OAuth1a is no more valid. So this mean that the problem is "The entity name must immediately follow the & in the entity reference."
This is something I had (see https://jazz.net/forum/questions/126592/unable-to-lanuch-a-rpe-report-for-rrc-since-upgrade-to-clm403) and there was a patch for 1.1.2.2
But this patch does not work anymore with 4.0.3

Ill try to go to 1.2, also I hate the new layout and the way the launcher is always killing my specification

RPE1.2.0.1
com.ibm.rational.rpe.common.utils.RPEException: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x43) was found in the prolog of the document.

from one error to the next.

What I forgot to mention is that this is a slight modified build in report Req_spec I try to

and the report is deployed and works fine in 4.03


Jorge Flores commented Sep 12 '13, 4:43 p.m.

Does the included reports work on that environment ? Rather than updating RPE I would recommend you to migrate to 4.0.4. It is already out and includes a fix for a 1.2 plugin problem. Are you using links with embedded content ?

Hi Jorge

Finally it was the Oauth stuff. During my 1001 test I broke the URI and that was then the 2nd error.

Thx erwin
