E1 8.96/8.12: Any idea how to obtain the specs in their XML representation?

Hi All,
I am working on 8.96_B1/8.12 on Red Hat linux on my ES and JAS. I an trying to perform direct generation (sequential from default specs ie local specs) from my client. I had earlier deployed a full package choosing both client and server along with the "SHARE SPECS" option. Now while generating reports, I am receiving the following error:
[ 2006-08-16 20:41:18.988 ] ERROR reading RDASPEC
[ 2006-08-16 20:41:18.988 ] MetaData object could not be created.
org.xml.sax.SAXException: Parsing Error : The element type "RDASPEC" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</RDASPEC>".
Line : 2
Column : 686

I am trying to locate the XML representation of the specs so that i can know where exactly is this tag missing? Also is this a known issue with 8.96_B1 and would this be solved by 8.96_C1?

Thanx a ton in advance...)

Hi,

Are you using WebSphere 6.0?
If my memory doesn't fail, your WebServer and your
WebGen machine need to be on WebSphere 6 to be compatible
with Tools 8.96
