Error description

  • When IBM Process Federation Server can't get a response from a
federated server while processing launchable entities REST API
call, it shows the following messages in the console:

[ERROR   ] CWMFS4032E: The request to retrieve exposed services
from the java.lang.NullPointerException federated system failed.
[INFO    ] FFDC1015I: An FFDC Incident has been created:
"java.lang.NullPointerException"
com.ibm.bpm.federated.query.rest.impl.LaunchListRequestService::
getLaunchableEntities_WLE 0001" at ffdc_xx.xx.xx_xx.xx.xx.0.log

These messages indicate that no response was received from one
of the federated systems and that the result of the API call
won't include launchable entities from this system. It
improperly refers to a NullPointerException instead of the
display name of the federated system a response wasn't received
from.
