Local fix

• Use the ExecutionContextToHTML.xsl file from previous
  versions. e.g. v8000 level
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:  BPM users that use an integration service   *
  *                  to "Read Text File" in debug mode.          *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Calling integration service to read a   *
  *                      large text file in debug mode could     *
  *                      generate OutOfMemoryError.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When using the java integration service to read a large text
  file in debug mode, an OutOfMemoryError could be thrown. For
  very large files and deep level processing - the additional
  XSLT transformation from the ExecutionContextToHTML.xsl file
  will cause OOM issues.
