Expedition hangs on Generating Profiles vsys/dg:vsys1

[Neilclark]

I have created two projects - one works fine - I can run the Best Practise app, and call also generate the xml files. The other hangs whilst trying to generate Profiles vsys/dg:vsys1.

The errors are as follows:

expedition@Expedition:/tmp$ cat error

Warning: simplexml_load_string(): Entity: line 12: parser error : Extra content at the end of the document in /var/www/html/libs/common/xml/panosxml.php on line 1601

Can anyone assist here? I dont want to have to spend weeks re-creating the project, so any help or advise is most gratefully received.

Many thanks,

Neil

Hello,

I am having similar issue, were you able to get around it?

Thanks.

Hi there,

Yes - we did resolve it. Remove all the profiles, such as ZPP, Logging, etc, that you have created in Expedition, and then click generate - it should work. You have to add the profiles on the firewalls themselves, rather than using Expedition to do so.

Yet another issue with Expedition - I am wondering if it is worth using at all. There are so many issues with it,
