• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TN623 - XSLT transformation '&2' was started (&1) ?

  The SAP error message TN623 indicates an issue related to XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) processing in the context of SAP PI/PO (Process Integration/Process Orchestration). The message typically means that an XSLT transformation has been initiated, but there may be an underlying issue that needs to be addressed.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Incorrect XSLT File: The XSLT file being used may have syntax errors or may not be well-formed.
  Mapping Issues: There may be issues with the mapping configuration in the Integration Directory.
  Performance Issues: The transformation may be taking too long to execute, leading to timeouts.
  Resource Limitations: Insufficient memory or processing resources on the server can lead to failures in executing the transformation.
  Version Compatibility: The XSLT version being used may not be compatible with the SAP system version.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the TN623 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the XSLT File:
  
  Validate the XSLT file for syntax errors using an XML/XSLT validator.
  Ensure that the XSLT is well-formed and adheres to the required standards.
  
  
  
  Review Mapping Configuration:
  
  Check the mapping configuration in the Integration Directory to ensure that the correct XSLT file is being referenced.
  Verify that the input and output structures are correctly defined.
  
  
  
  Monitor Performance:
  
  Monitor the performance of the system to ensure that it has sufficient resources (CPU, memory) to handle the transformation.
  If necessary, optimize the XSLT code for better performance.
  
  
  
  Check Logs:
  
  Review the application logs (transaction SXMB_MONI or SLG1) for more detailed error messages that can provide insights into what went wrong during the transformation.
  
  
  
  Test in Isolation:
  
  Test the XSLT transformation in isolation (e.g., using a standalone XSLT processor) to ensure that it works as expected outside of the SAP environment.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or community forums for any known issues or patches related to the specific version of SAP you are using.
  
  
  
  Update SAP System:
  
  If the issue persists, consider applying any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address known bugs or compatibility issues.
