HME.GetAttribute: attribute not found

Problem

-- getting such "HME.GetAttribute: attribute not found" error entry in Message Log

-- in Trace Viewer : "procengine(procengine(procmbc_be_dynamiccontrol)):HME.GetAttribute: attribute not found"


Resolution


* it is not a very explicit error,... but such message occurs when one the map outputs is not created

* retrieve the map name throwing the error

* open the related processing step in B2Bi UI, select all the input / output tabs and set the "Action when no output created" to "Ignore"

* note that it usually occurs when your map generates multiple outputs (either when splitting the input or when using event (error event or instance)
