Closed as program error.
Error description
When trying to perform deletions using Data Load, the tool generates a NullPointerException when the record doesn't exist. This is the expected behaviour, however there is no option for the utility to skip the error.
Local fix
Remove the deletion entry in the input file which references the non-existent record.
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: Users running Data Load on WebSphere Commerce V7 FEP4. PROBLEM ABSTRACT: When trying to perform deletions using Data Load, the tool generates a NullPointerException when the record doesn't exist. BUSINESS IMPACT: "Soft" errors such as the attempted deletion of a record which does not exist are treated the same as all other errors forcing a manual cleanup of the input data. RECOMMENDATION:
Problem conclusion
The fix adds mediator logic to optionally ignore the soft error on deletion of a non-existent record and continue processing. To use the option, add the following line to the file wc-dataload.xml <_config:property name="actionOnError" value="1" /> immediately after the line <_config:LoadOrder ... > ------------------------------------------------------------- The latest available maintenance information can be obtained from the Recommended Fixes for WebSphere Commerce technote: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3046&uid=swg21261296
