Xslt generating empty html

Hello,

I am using the xslt service in Software AG Designer 10.11
The stylesheet version is 2.0

What I am trying to do is generate an html page from an xml string. Then I write it to a file location and send an e-Mail with the content as a file attachment.
In debug mode, everything goes fine. I can write the html page away to a file location and send an e-mail with the html content.

The problem is as follows:
When the package is not in debug mode, the xml data is missing, so it basically writes only the html tags and the variable xml data is missing.

Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong here?

Kind regards,
GvB

Hi Giel,

please check where the xml should come from when not running in debug mode.

Please provide some samples together with xslt being used.

Regards,
Holger

Hello Holger,

!NOTE:
If you run the xsltService directly and put the sample xml into xmldata, you might get something like “Invalid byte 2 or 4-byte UTF-8 sequence; Line#: 88; Column#: 34”.
This is not the case if you create a flow calling the xsltService, where you can set the encoding to UTF-8
