Bursting Excel file

Question

Hi guys
here is my problem, i have a report that produces xml result which calls the bursting engine to send it out. My report and also bursting program works perfectly however when i change the output-type in the bursting control file from pdf to excel or in fact any other output-type except pdf the bursting program fails with the error
Error!! Could not deliver the output for Delivery channel:null. Please check the Log for error details.
i looked for that error and i came across many post that identified the problem as wrong SMTP server. However when i change the output-type back to pdf this problem get solved.
how do i enable the XDOBURSTREP log file, and how do i see it
the template it uses is rtf
here is my control file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi" type="bursting">
<xapi:request select="/CGLRPALR/G_REPORT">

You can view the log file for the output post processor service by going to the manage concurrent managers form. Click on requests and click on show manager log.
