I'm trying to manually archive an organization site in our BB 9.1 SP5, and get the error:

Fatal: Unable to perform necessary package cleanup

The log file for the archive says:

Aug 1, 2012 1:09:01 PM - Fatal: Unable to perform necessary package cleanup.
Aug 1, 2012 1:09:01 PM - Debug: blackboard.apps.cx.papi.PackageException: Unable to perform necessary package cleanup.

The line above "Caused by:... The character ' ' is an invalid XML character" seems like it should be helpful, but I don't know what the character is or where to find it.

Any suggestions?

Lindy,

Unfortunately, the problem is inherent to some content in the course itself.  A couple of years ago I think Blackboard Support had a "health check" script or building block utility that could fix those problems in a particular course, but it was version-specific.  You might open a ticket with support and see if the utility is still available for your version.

Thanks Mike, I have now contacted support to see if this script is still available.
