Hi,

An error occured reading a transformation from the repository

Hi Anonymous,

Thank you for the bug-report. It seems to be a problem in the loading of the Condition in a filter or a join.
Can you first try to upgrade to version 2.2.2 and see if this fixes the problem?
If it doesn&#39;t I&#39;ll get a fix for you as soon as possible. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Matt
