Hi, That's an XML parsing error of course, and usually means that your xml is missing an XML declaration. I don't know how your tranform could be missing the declaration though... Try looking at the template tab in transformer, and see if your transform's xml looks well formed?
I think I find what the issue is, but don't understand how and why it happened.
The xml file that I used for input dictionary is split from a iterator object. I saved it as xml file for the following transform object. But the xml file itself has encoding="UTF-16". I also selected UTF-16 when specifying the file. As soon as I changed it back to UTF-8, it works just fine.
Any idea?

In your transformer, When you select the filename in the "open" dialog box for Input, the last option will be encoding. Choose UTF-16. This should solve your problem and you need not change the file content.
