XSLT- CWP Unexpected Error

[jende77]

We are running Filemaker Server 7 and publishing a dB to the web using custom web publishing and XSLT style sheets made using site assist.

There are about 950 records in our database. When I "Show all records" (max=25) and begin navigating through the list hitting the next button, I always get an error about 10-11 pages through the list.

The errors on the page and in the logs read:

XSLT-CWP: An unexpected error has occurred (null) File: /fmi/xml/fmresultset.xml

The line and column fields are blank.

Any suggestions? I am leaning towards a timeout of the results list, but can find no place to configure this.

Thanks in advance.

Do you use a dual CPU server?

[jende77]

We sure do. We are running Windows 2003 Server on a server with dual processors and hyperthreading enabled.

Do you think it is the dual processors?

[Martin Brändle]

It definitely is. FMI recommends to turn off the HT and the second CPU until they have resolved issues with the WPE in this KB article:

We had a lot of problems with XSLT document() on our dual-CPU Apple Xserve until we turned off the second CPU.

Thank you very much for this solution! It has resolved our problem.

We have made this change on the server, and after watching for a few days, the errors have not returned. It seems a shame to not make use of all the server capability.

As Martin remarked, this is a known issue. And they are definitely aware of it. Contrary to popular belief--as the original poster's description notes--this IS a cross–platform issue with both dual processors and on Windows hyperthreading as well.

I'd recommend anyone using Server look at the referenced Tech Info article.
