Paula, I think the error is related to the OutputFile parmeter, did you specify the path (for example D:\OutPutFiles) where the consumer will write the case ? or may be your input file for the collection reader is not set properly. Samir

I executed the Smoking Status component via CPE using the SimulatedProdAggregateTAE and received an error, please see attached. Essentially states initiator of annotator class: org.apache.ctakes.smokingstatus.cc.RecordResolutionCasConsumer failed. A reference to C:\apache-ctakes-3.1.0\desc\ctakes-smoking-status\desc\cas_consumer\RecordResolutionCasConsumer.xml is in the error message. I have pasted the early part of the RecordResolutionCasConsumer file below that references where the failure occurred. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
