Hi Lydia, aggregators are automatically reset at the beginning of each iteration. As far as I know, the reset() method is not supposed to be called from user code. Also, in the code you pasted, you use "aggregator.getAggregate()". Please, use the "getPreviousIterationAggregate()" method as I wrote above, otherwise you won't get the correct value.
Cheers, -Vasia.
