IC90087: LOGS FILLED WITH NET.SF.SAXON.TRANS.DYNAMICERROR: AMBIGUOUS RULE MATCH

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The Sterling Control Center logs are filled with the INFO
  messages, net.sf.saxon.trans.DynamicError: Ambiguous rule match
  

Local fix

• STRRTC - 365541
  SF / SF
  Circumvention: None
  

Problem summary

• Description of issue:  Numerous "Ambiguous rule match for
  /event" errors were filling up the engine log.  In this case the
  customer defined a large number of rules.  When the compiled
  rules require more than 64K, a particular rules parser (saxon)
  is invoked.  SCC erroneously omitted the insertion of a priority
  value in each rule, which ensures uniqueness, causing the error
  message.
  

Problem conclusion

• Description of fix:   Added logic to generate a unique priority
  number for each rule, when using saxon to compile the rules.
  

Temporary fix

• Added logic to generate a unique priority number for each rule,
  when using the saxon to compile the rules.
