Aras 11SP9 Chrome remove XSLTProcessor

As Chrome plans to remove support for XSLTProcessor, Aras 11 SP9, which heavily depends on this technology, will be impacted.

Could you please provide a hotfix or an alternative solution besides upgrading the system

  • I made a quick test in Open Release 2025 (=R35). I deactivated XSLTProcessor and XSLTDocument in the browser debugger. Not sure if it was the right approach!

    This is what I get: I can still open Innovator, but as soon as I open a grid, I get this error message:

    Used code for browser debugger:

    // Simuliere Chrome ohne XSLTProcessor
    Object.defineProperty(window, "XSLTProcessor", {
      value: undefined,
      writable: false,
      configurable: false
    });
    
    Object.defineProperty(window, "XSLTDocument", {
      value: undefined,
      writable: false,
      configurable: false
    });

    How to solve it?

    1. I am confident Aras will provide us more information in 2026. There is still some time and now hurry yet. 
    2. I expect we have to customize the codetree to avoid XSLT related code is loaded on startup. To what I have seen im my quick text, code for XLST Reporting is loaded on startup, even if we don´t plan to generate an XLST report. XSLT reporting will probably die as feature, but I personally don´t see this one as a big loss. We have better reporting alternatives.
      There are huge differences in the startup routine between I14 and I12/I11. In my quick 5 minute test I12 version seems a bit more easy to understand. But we will see. 

    Please note that all of the above are just my rough thoughts and may be technically incorrect!

     

  • Great question! To what I see XSLTProcessor is still used in some corners in Release 37, so even newer versions are affected.

    But I wonder which parts of Innovator still use XSLT at all? I right now think of the XSLT Reports. But we can replace these reports which a different technology. So not a an instant show stopper.

    What other parts are affected? Maybe Project Management and TechDocs? I am not sure.
