Is your custom method getting called or not? Do you see any error in Java Method server logs?

Have you selected your custom method in auto-activity definintion? Also, make sure method class is available to java method server. Did you checked all the logs on method server including ServerApps.log, Server.log, etc.?

This is weird. It should pick it up from java_methods.

Have you installed related xCP components like Process Engine? Process enginge installer deplaoys lot of docapps. If you go to content server properties > App servers tab, do you see do_bpm parameters?

Hi Neeraj,

Thanks for your inputs.

I solved the issue. I did the following changes in server config object

1) we are not installed BPM on our Content Server.

2) I deleted the entry for the do_bpm from the DA (da->basic configuration->contentserver->properties->appservers->delete entry for the 'do_bpm'

3) Restarted Content Server. and executed Publisher job.

Thanks,

Prasad
