Unexpected exception when configuring file multiFileConverter for task 'Apply PerfectMatch'

Question

Hi, I sometimes meet "Unexpected exception when configuring file multiFileConverter for task 'Apply PerfectMatch'" on Trados 2021 SR1(16.1.8.4404) during Automatic task "PerfectMatch". How can we fix this issue? This problem occurs from 2021 on my environment. Here is the log Unexpected exception when configuring file multiFileConverter for task 'Apply PerfectMatch': Failed to create an instance of translation provider 'sdltm.file:///C:/Trados/XXX.sdltm'..

Hi Masayuki Iizuka , 
 Can you please show me a code sample that causes this error? 
 I've tried to reproduce it by running the PerfectMatch Batch task when I create a project: 
 var projectInfo = new ProjectInfo { Name = "TestProject", SourceLanguage = new Language(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US")), //import Sdl.core.globalization.dll TargetLanguages = new[] {new Language(CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("de-DE")),}, //file path where you want to save the project LocalProjectFolder = $@"" }; 
 //import Sdl.ProjectAutomation.FileBased var fileBasedProject = new FileBasedProject(projectInfo); 
 //HERE YOU NEED TO ADD THE PATH FOR FILES YOU WANT TO INCLUDE IN YOUR PROJECT var filesPath = new[] {@"C"}; 
 //add files to project var projectFiles = fileBasedProject.AddFiles(filesPath); //Translation provider configuration var translationProviderConfig = new TranslationProviderConfiguration(); var entry = new TranslationProviderCascadeEntry( @"En-DeTM.sdltm", true, true, true); translationProviderConfig.Entries.Add(entry); fileBasedProject.UpdateTranslationProviderConfiguration(translationProviderConfig); //we need to run automatic task to create the project in studio fileBasedProject.RunAutomaticTask(projectFiles.GetIds(), AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.Scan); var taskSequence = fileBasedProject.RunAutomaticTasks(projectFiles.GetIds(), new[] { AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.ConvertToTranslatableFormat, AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.CopyToTargetLanguages, AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.PerfectMatch, AutomaticTaskTemplateIds.PreTranslateFiles, }); if (taskSequence.Status == TaskStatus.Completed) { //project was created succesfully } else { if (taskSequence.Status.Equals(TaskStatus.Failed)) { foreach (var subTask in taskSequence.SubTasks) { } } } fileBasedProject.Save(); } 
 Kind regards,
