Hey, Ive attached a screenshot.. I've still not been able to find a fix for this.. got a workaround though - manual upload via the web browser interface. There is no issue via the browser and the file is validated successfully.. The funny part is via iReport if i open the repository jrxml file and try to replace it without any changes it still gives the error At the same time i have reports that can be updated via iReport with no issues.. Thanks Fabs
