Recurring 'Can't find reference post processor' Error in BGMS Logs When Creating Representation via

Version: Windchill 13.0

 

Use Case: When trying to create a new representation in Windchill SIM using Arbortext Publishing Engine, I continuously receive the "Can't find reference post processor" error in the BGMS logs, and the book output cannot be generated.


Description:

I reviewed the PE logs and observed some Java-related errors. Subsequently, I removed the APTJAVAVMPATH environment variable and used javaselect.exe to define the correct path.

For the "Can't find reference processor" error, I updated the stylesheets.

I did not encounter any errors in PE Interactive.

I also tried publishing a few different books with different stylesheet files, and I didn’t encounter any issues.

    Thank you for your response, dear Marco. I tried the article, but my style sheets are still not updating on the PE, and I continue to receive the same error. After the style sheets are updated, should I remove the .bak files from the same location?
