SYMPTOMS
When you test a map in the BizTalk Mapper, the following message may occur in the output window:

The XML page cannot be displayed.

Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

XML document must have a top level element.



CAUSE
This is a standard error message generated by the MSXML parser when it attempts to load a blank document. If the output of a map test is a blank document, the error is generated when the BizTalk Mapper attempts to load the document into the MSXML parser.



RESOLUTION
The BizTalk Mapper always generates a blank document as test output if there are no links established between the source and destination document. Therefore, make sure that there is at least one link between the source and the destination document before you attempt to generate test output.



STATUS
This is by design.
