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
Update: Aras will not provide any patch for the open community.
For those with more than 1,900 contributions to this forum: no, this still does not qualify you for the patch. We´re sorry.
Anyone affected and interested in creating a community-based patch is welcome to join the group. Let me know! Using Innovator 10, 11 or 12? Every version welcomed!
So far, Aras has only released the XSLT hotfix for supported (subscription) versions (R22+).
There’s no communicated timeline yet for patches on the open/community releases.
In the meantime, upgrading or using a compatible browser (e.g. Firefox) are the recommended options.
IMPORTANT UPDATE! Aras has released patches for every version above R22! Perfect timing, as there is still plenty of time to test and implement them.
If you plan to upgrade anyway: R39 already fixes the issue. Just note the SSRS/Power BI information in the release notes.
Question to Aras:
Could you provide the patch for the community releases 2025 and 2023? These should correspond to R23 and R35, but it would still be helpful to have an official patch specifically for these releases.
There are still many users running these versions, and not everyone will be able to switch to a subscription in time. In many cases, these versions are also used for test systems, which still need to be secured.
Anyway..thanks, Aras! From what I have seen, this has been handled really well.
Tick Tock... it would be good to at least know their plan to address it by 11/17
Any news on this one? I haven´t testet it, but R38 looks like it still uses XSLT.
For those interested in more info on the depreciation of XSLT in chrome as well as chromes guidance on migration for developers who utilize the browsers XSLT API.
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/deprecating-xslt#:~:text=Chromium%20has%20officially%20deprecated%20XSLT,XSLT%20from%20their%20browser%20engines.
One potential migration path they reference is a Chrome extension that would polyfill any use of the old XSLT API for web apps that users don’t have permission to change, and might work as a temporary fix for some users if Aras does not provide a hotfix for their version Aras Innovator.
Gosh.. We've got a major part of our output based on the XSLT reports. I'll subscribe to this topic just to be updated
I just created a standard SSRS Report in for Innovator and noticed something interesting. Even regular SSRS reports will be affected! Well, not the reports directly, but the way we call them from Innovator.
Aras will have to reinvent the complete Report ItemType!!!! For SSRS we can still use Methods as fallback if no patch is available. But the patching they will have to do is massive!
For people who are not prepared, this will become Ara-Geddon! 🤣
Some update:
The main question is not whether we will receive a patch for I14, but whether patches will also be provided for I12 and I11. There are still active subscribers using I12, while I11 is barely in use anymore.
There is a small risk that Aras will release the patch only for subscribers. However, this is not a major concern. Experience shows that such fixes usually find their way into the wider community sooner or later, and Aras is well aware of that.
More likely, the patch will be bundled with subscription-related marketing :)
Thanks for the update, that’s good to know 👍
It’s great that Aras is already aware of the XSLT issue and working on it.
Just want to add a small voice from the community side: besides I14, there are still quite a few production systems running on 12 and even 11 SP9. For many companies, upgrading is not something that can be done immediately because of validation and integration effort.
So hopefully the patch can also consider 11 SP9 (and 12 if possible), and not be limited only to subscription users. It would really help a lot of teams who are still maintaining stable legacy environments while planning upgrades.
Thanks again for sharing, and fingers crossed Aras team can see this 🙂
