I have switched from using a custom transformer to a linked custom transformer for the sake of reusability. While there were no errors when I ran it with the local custom transformer, I started encountering an error message randomly after seeing the "Translation was SUCCESSFULLY" message, which reads "Error missing translation." after I changed it to a linked custom transformer.

 

Here's some additional information that may help:

1) The number of records outputted by the custom transformer in both cases is the same.

2) In both scenarios, they were executed in "Moderate" mode with parallel processing.

3) Debug logs are enabled, and although there are some "BADNEWS" messages, they were present in both cases.

 

Can anyone provide me with some hints or guidance to resolve this unknown error message?"

 

Here below is the screen capture for the error message.

Can you tell us a bit more about what the custom transformer does? I think that that may be very useful in helping determine what's going on.


I have experienced similar issue a couple of times, and in my case error appeared when I tried to open/view cached values. So, there was nothing wrong with translation itself, rather with viewing cached values. I tried clicking cached values icon a couple of times and issue disappeared (or I re-ran that part of workspace, can't remember any more).

Here is the custom transformer before I change it to external custom transformer for reusability purpose:

Yes, you've reminded me that typically, the cached value will automatically be displayed. However, it didn't appear after I changed it to a linked custom transformer. Since the error message didn't provide enough information, I have no idea whether the error came from the transformer or the display of the cached data. What is clear is that the error message pops up 1-2 seconds after the message "Translation was SUCCESSFUL." It makes sense to consider that the error is related to the display of the cached data.
