SBL-EAI-04267: XSLT Processing Exception: %1

Applies to:
Siebel CRM Call Center - Version: 7.7.2.7 SIA [18376] - Release: V7
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms
When using exslt:node-set() function in the XSLT with the EAI XSLT Transport Business Service, the following error occurs:

XSLT Processing Exception: The specified function is not available: http://exslt.org/common:node-set(SBL-EAI-04267)
--
Error invoking service 'EAI XSLT Service', method 'Transform' at step 'XSLT Conversion Response'.(SBL-BPR-00162)

Cause
The EAI XSLT Service Business Service supports the Apache XALAN API and the actual DLL, which the class CSSXSLTService of this BS references is XALAN-C_*.DLL. And this XSLT processor does not support the extension node-set() with the namespace http://exslt.org/common.

Solution
To use the nodeset extension, use the nodeset() function in the namespace xmlns:xalan=http://xml.apache.org/xalan

For example,

When trying to make use of this XSLT in Siebel, I get the following error message,

(xsltransform.cpp (573)) SBL-EAI-04267: XSLT Processing Exception: The specified function is not available: http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions:current-dateTime

When transformation is done in XMLSpy it is working fine. This may be because that function is not one of the "core" Xpath functions that all implementations must support "http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath#corelib" . i.e. it's an optional one, that XMLspy supports, but Siebel doesn't.

Please provide your suggestions, is there any workaround for Siebel XSLT Service to adopt this functionality.


Cause
The error that customer has indicated has been reproduced. However, the error that is observed is as follow. This is opposed to what customer is getting.

XSLT Processing Exception: Could not find function: current-dateTime()
pattern = 'current-dateTime()'
Remaining tokens: ('current-dateTime' '(' ')')(SBL-EAI-04267)

Change Request 12-1GKP3RF has been logged to address this.

Solution
If the function is not used, the error is not reported.

Symptoms
SBL-EAI-04267, SBL-BPR-00162
Requirement is to read a XSLT file and transform a XML file using the EAI XSLT Service. The XSLT file has a function Ext:transform_lov defined within it which it calls whenever it hits a node name starting with "LOV_".

On execution, the following error was encountered.....

“Error invoking service 'EAI XSLT Service', method 'Transform' at step 'Execute Transformation'.(SBL-BPR-00162)
--
XSLT Processing Exception: The specified function is not available: Ext:transform_lov(SBL-EAI-04267)”

It seems that it's complaining about the xmlns:Ext="Ext" declared in the beginning of the XSLT.

Please find attached the following :

XSLT : lovdatamap.xslt
Source XML : test_a1.xml
Target XSD : dest.xsd

Please advise.


Cause
The "xsl:function" is available for XSLT version 2.0. However, the underlying XSLT processor (Apache Xalan-C 1.5) used by EAI XSLT Service supports version 1.0. As such, the functions that are available in XSLT version 2.0 will not work in Siebel application.

Solution
Change Request 12-1HMLWRR has been logged to request for this information to be documented in Siebel Bookshelf.
