The resource is not registered with the distributed ID resou

Error message

The resource is not registered with the distributed ID resource for the time being.

What it means

Thrown by IdGeneratorManager.nextId(resource) when no IdGenerator has been registered for the given resource name. Resources must be explicitly registered via register(...) (or register(String...)) before nextId is called. This is an unchecked NoSuchElementException.

Solutions

Register the resource before first use: idGeneratorManager.register('resource').
Check the spelling of the resource key at the call site against the registration site.
If calling from a custom extension, add registration in the appropriate startup/initialization hook.

Example fix

// before
long id = idGeneratorManager.nextId("config"); // not registered -> throws

// after
idGeneratorManager.register("config");
long id = idGeneratorManager.nextId("config");

Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

Validate before calling

if (!idGeneratorManager.getGeneratorMap().containsKey(resource)) {
    idGeneratorManager.register(resource); // or fail fast
}
long id = idGeneratorManager.nextId(resource);

Try / catch

try {
    long id = idGeneratorManager.nextId(resource);
} catch (NoSuchElementException e) {
    // resource not registered; register then retry
}

Prevention

Register every resource name at startup before any nextId call.
Keep the resource key constant between registration and consumption sites.

When it happens

Trigger: A code path calling IdGeneratorManager.nextId('someResource') where 'someResource' was never registered. The generator map is keyed by exact resource name; a typo or a resource that is conditionally registered triggers this.

Common situations: A new resource type introduced without calling idGeneratorManager.register(resource) during server startup; a typo in the resource key between registration and consumption; a custom module that uses the manager without registering.
