Description

XSLT is short for Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations, for more information on this, look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XSLT

XSL Transformation job entry is designed to transform (by applying XSL document ) XML documents into other documents (XML or other format, such as HTML or plain text).

The original document is not changed; rather, a new document is created based on the content of the XML file.
