Tibco BW 6.4：XSLT与Schema组件属性不同步及子流程映射问题咨询

Yep, this is definitely a known issue with Tibco BusinessWorks 6.4, tied to how the platform handles metadata synchronization and XSLT generation for subprocess mappings. Let’s break down what’s going on and the fixes you can try:

核心问题根源 #

The repeated XSD structures and xslt out of sync errors stem from two main platform quirks:

• BW 6.4’s metadata cache can get corrupted, leading to duplicate XSD references being loaded into the mapping context.
• The auto-generated XSLT for subprocess mappings sometimes fails to sync with the latest schema changes, especially when dealing with nested or complex XSD types.

分步解决方法 #

1. 手动触发XSLT同步 #

When you see the xslt out of sync error, the first quick fix is to force a manual sync:

• Open the problematic subprocess mapping editor.
• Look for the "Sync XSLT" button (usually a double-arrow icon on the right side of the toolbar) and click it.
• If that doesn’t work, close the mapping editor entirely, reopen it, and try syncing again. This often clears temporary sync glitches.

2. 清理重复XSD引用与缓存 #

Duplicate XSD structures are almost always caused by redundant schema references or corrupted local cache:

• In the Project Explorer, check all modules for duplicate imports of the same XSD file. Remove any redundant <xsd:import> or <xsd:include> statements that point to the same schema.
• Clear BW’s local metadata cache: Navigate to your workspace’s cache directory (<workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/com.tibco.bw.designer.core/cache), delete all files inside, then restart Tibco Designer. This forces the platform to reload fresh metadata.

3. 手动修复XSLT源码 #

Sometimes the auto-generated XSLT has hidden duplicate namespace references or syntax errors:

• Switch to the XSLT Source tab at the bottom of the mapping editor.
• Scan for duplicate <xsl:import> lines that reference the same XSD namespace. Delete these duplicates.
• Fix any obvious syntax errors (like unclosed tags) in the XSLT, then switch back to the graphical mapping view and re-sync.

4. Apply Tibco’s Official Patches #

Tibco released several patches for BW 6.4 to address these exact sync issues:

• Check Tibco’s Support Portal for patches related to "subprocess mapping XSLT sync" or "metadata duplication" for BW 6.4.
• Install the latest relevant patch, restart both Designer and any running BW engines, then test your mappings again.

5. Simplify Complex XSD/Mapping Structures #

Overly nested XSD types or complex multi-level mappings can trigger the sync bug more often:

• Split deeply nested complex types in your XSD into separate global elements or simple types to reduce complexity.
• Avoid mapping entire nested structures at once; instead, map individual fields step by step to minimize the chance of sync failures.
