Adding Parameters to an XSLT Transformation

[bds]

Hi all,

I have an input-less XSLT stylesheet [1] that generates a catalog file. I've figured out how to apply it from the CLI, but I'm stumped when it comes to adding the correct Parameters in the Scenario dialog(s).

I go into Configure Transformation Scenario(s) > New > XSLT Transformation > Parameters and I'm not quite sure what to enter in the Configure parameters. Is it just the template name (e.g. "main")? Or do I need to key the entire template into the Add Parameter dialog?

Thanks!

[1] XSLT:

Code: Select all

?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    exclude-result-prefixes="xs"

    version="2.0">

    

    <xsl:output method="xml"/>

    <!-- collection() to grab documents -->

    <xsl:variable name="docs" select="collection('file:///usr/home/bds/Documents/tdh-test/all-tdh/?select=*.xml;recurse=yes;on-error=warn')"/>

    

    <xsl:template name="main">

        <xsl:result-document href="tdh-catalog.xml" indent="yes">

            <catalog>

                <xsl:for-each select="$docs">

                    <doc href="{substring-after(document-uri(.), 'tdh-test/')}"/><xsl:value-of select="'&#10;'"/>

                </xsl:for-each>

            </catalog>

        </xsl:result-document>    

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hi,

The Parameters dialog is meant for specifying values for the stylesheet parameters (xsl:param) if any.
To specify the main template and mode press the Advanced options button (cogwheel icon next to the Transformer combo) and fill the corresponding fields.

Hi Adrian,
thanks so much for the response. That's great! I see the options there. I appreciate the guidance!
