Resolving [Fatal Error] :4:55: SAXParseException: element type "YFS_HOME" error when running CDT
Symptom
When starting the Configuration Deployment Tool (CDT) (either the GUI for
Windows via the ydk.cmd script, or the command-line version for Windows or
UNIX/Linux via the cdtshell.[cmd|sh] script), the following exception is
thrown:
[Fatal Error] :4:55: The element type "YFS_HOME" must be
terminated by the match ing end-tag "</YFS_HOME>".
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "YFS_HOME" must be terminated
by the matching end-tag "</YFS_HOME>".
Cause
Resolving The Problem
This is a similar error to, and sometimes appears in conjunction with
<Error ErrorCode="YDK0001"
</Error>
and also
occurs when CDT configuration files ydkconfig.xml and ydkprefs.xml have not
been modifed to REPLACE references to generic placeholder <YFS_HOME> with a
FULL PATH name.
