RFA Interpreter will not load RFA files with server configuration

Problem

The RFA wizard will not load RFA files on our OneDrive server configuration. This works on our local configuration and for one WorkSet on our server, but not the other, even though they both belong to the same WorkSpace and were created a week apart. The "Waiting for DataGroup initialization to complete" progress bar shown below is stuck at this point.


Solution

It was discovered that the WorkSet where the RFA Interpreter was not working included older/outdate XSD and XML files (schemas) under the \Standards\DataGroupSystem\ folder. The properties missing from this folder were needed for the RFA mapping process, so the contents of that folder were removed and replaced with files from the \Standards\DataGroupSystem\ folder under the properly working WorkSet.

With the updated files in place, the RFA Interpreter was successful since the DataGroup mapping process was able to complete.
