Issue: Distribution agent failed to post the files to report repository.
Error message: The XML file returned by the web server is invalid. XML document object creation failed.
Solution: This is an issue with SchedulerTransfer servlet which requires authentication. When a report needs to get transfer to report repository, distribution agant use SchedulerTransfer servlet for this purpose. SchedulerTransfer servlet checks for the default local node and if there is no authentication there, it will get fail. The Default Local Node must have the Authentication Option set to 'Password'. Application server needs a restart post this change.
