This kind of issue can occur if the .xdp file which you are trying to upload is locked or the .xdp content which you are trying to upload is incorrect.

Locking is possible if the same Form Template is opened in Easy Form Editor or it is opened via Adobe LiveCycle Designer and side by side you want to upload and replace the exiting variant.

If an incident is reported to SAP, they would ask for XDP file and permission to uplaod it from there end. THis will solve the issue.

Additional note from my side:

When I tried to open the form with the easy form editor or Adobe Reader from within ByD I got a warning that the file is locked by another user. So we created an incident and the support stated that there was something called "XRep Lock".

Will be back on this topic, if it was solved this way.
