Troubleshooting
Problem
Using a properly created op-config.xml file to import filters causes a Null Pointer Exception (NPE). This loader file can load fine in other environments.
Symptom
The message seen in the ObjectManager.log is:
2020-12-21 12:10:59,583 INFO [util.Utils] - (Line: 12 Column: 78): LOADER EXCEPTION : 'An unexpected exception occurred.'null
2020-12-21 12:10:59,583 INFO [util.Utils] - (23, 27) EXCEPTION : ''null
2020-12-21 12:10:59,583 INFO [util.Utils] - (23, 27) EXCEPTION : ''null
Loading Filters ...
Loader EXCEPTION (Line: 12 Column: 78): An unexpected exception occurred.
java.lang.NullPointerException
at com.openpages.apps.common.tools.ObjectManager.metadata.querydefinition.QueryDefinitionHandler.getOptions(QueryDefinitionHandler.java:361)
at com.openpages.apps.common.tools.ObjectManager.metadata.querydefinition.ConditionsHandler.readXML(ConditionsHandler.java:108)
at com.openpages.apps.common.tools.ObjectManager.common.AbstractObjectManagerHandler.readElement(AbstractObjectManagerHandler.java:339)
at com.openpages.apps.common.tools.ObjectManager.ConfigurationManager.startElement(ConfigurationManager.java:9015)
If you look at the <prefix>-op-config.xml and you review the ObjectManager.log output, review where the LOADER EXCEPTION occurred. In this example, it's (Line: 12 Column: 78) is:
<conditions contentType="<object type>" logicalOperator="and">
The above is the first line in the <criteriaList> for the filter.
Cause
The ObjectManager.properties file has a parameter set to false which should be set to true.
Resolving The Problem
- Log on to the OpenPages® with Watson server
- Navigate to <op_home>/bin
- Edit the ObjectManager.properties file
- Locate this parameter: configuration.manager.validation
- Make sure the value = true
- Save the file
- Perform the import again
