APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• Appliance might restart in the case of serializing big XML
  output where the output port temporarily cannot accept data.
  

Local fix

• If the transaction output is generated by a final Results
  action, replace it by a Transform Binary action with the
  stylesheet below.
  
  If a Transform action sends a result directly to OUTPUT context,
  make it generate the result into a context (maybe PIPE) and add
  the above-mentioned Transform Binary action from the new context
  to OUTPUT.
  
  The following stylesheet is an example of a stylesheet used for
  the Tranform Binary action.  This is the non-XML equivalent of
  store:///identity.xsl:
  
  <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
      xmlns:dp="http://www.datapower.com/extensions"
      extension-element-prefixes="dp"
  >
    <dp:input-mapping  href="store:///pkcs7-convert-input.ffd"
  type="ffd"/>
    <dp:output-mapping href="store:///pkcs7-convert-input.ffd"
  type="ffd"/>
  
    <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
    </xsl:template>
  
  </xsl:stylesheet>
  

Problem summary

• DataPower might restart while serializing large XML output if
  the backend is unable to accept data.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 5.0.0.12, 6.0.0.4 and 6.0.1.0.
