Error description
The error message in the deployment report of the Business Console is: An unexpected error has occurred during the deployment. Contact your administrator. The stack trace in the log is: "SEVERE: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.rules.decisionservice.internal.RESClient$4.isXOMResource sReferencedByLibrary(RESClient.java:670) at com.ibm.rules.decisionservice.internal.RESClient$4.execute(RESCl ient.java:616) at com.ibm.rules.decisionservice.internal.RESClient$4.execute(RESCl ient.java:575) at com.ibm.rules.decisionservice.internal.RESClient.safeInvokeRES(R ESClient.java:136) at com.ibm.rules.decisionservice.internal.RESClient.deploy(RESClien t.java:575) at com.ibm.rules.decisionservice.internal.RESRESTClient4.deploy(RES RESTClient4.java:38) at com.ibm.rules.decisionservice.internal.DsResRestClient.deploy(Ds ResRestClient.java:54) at ilog.rules.teamserver.model.decisionservice.wrapper.DCIDsServer. deploy(DCIDsServer.java:109) at com.ibm.rules.decisionservice.DsXOMDeployManager.deploy(DsXOMDep loyManager.java:87) at com.ibm.rules.decisionservice.DsDeployManager.deploy(DsDeployMan ager.java:81) at ilog.rules.teamserver.ejb.service.IlrSessionFacadeImpl.deployDSR uleAppArchive(IlrSessionFacadeImpl.java:5821) at ilog.rules.teamserver.ejb.service.IlrSessionFacadeImpl$9.call(Il rSessionFacadeImpl.java:6054) at ilog.rules.teamserver.ejb.service.IlrSessionFacadeImpl$9.call(Il rSessionFacadeImpl.java:6050) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Here is the scenario to reproduce with the "Miniloan Service" project provided in our samples: 1) deploy the ruleApp once 2) in the RES console, you should have a library named "mydeployment_library/1.0" containing a reference to the resource "miniloan-xom.zip/1.0" 3) remove this reference to the resource "miniloan-xom.zip/1.0" so that the library "mydeployment_library/1.0" is now 'empty' (referencing no resource nor other libraries) 4) publish the ruleApp again => it fails with the error below in the report: An unexpected error has occurred during the deployment. Contact your administrator. 5) if you recreate a reference to the resource "miniloan-xom.zip/1.0" in the library "mydeployment_library/1.0", then you can deploy the ruleApp back again successfully The same problem happens when deploying from Rule Designer.
Local fix
The solution is to recreate the missing reference(s) within the empty library: 1) open the RES console 2) in the Explorer tab, select the ruleset that fails to deploy, then click "Managed URIs" to see which library is used 3) in the Explorer tab, select the library identified at the previous step and click "Add Internal Resource Reference"
