PI 7.1 Error, For Input String: ""

[markangelo_dihiansan]

Hi Experts,

I need help in troubleshooting this issue. Whenever I try to open one of a udf-intensive mapping, this is the error I'm getting. I've also tried searching this in SDN but to no avail. The steps that I have done are:

1. Exported the mapping in an XI copy and imported it in PI 7.1, same error.

2. Removed the UDFs in the XI mapping copy and imported it in PI 7.1, still got the same error.

Ideas anyone?

hi,

I had the same problem. The cause was I had a copyValue() function and the parameter (which should have been numeric) was missing. XI did not care about it but PI reports an error and you cannot open the mapping

When making UDFs, make sure that you declare the function in the functions tab first before proceeding with the graphical mapping

It seems that your mapping is corrupt.

Open an OSS ticket for this issue.

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for this one. I will be raising a ticket and will update this thread afterwards.

Hi,

>>>Whenever I try to open one of a udf-intensive mapping, this is the error I'm getting

can you test the mapping ? maybe test tab would show a better error desc ?

(you can try testing from Operation mapping instead of message mapping)

Hi Michal,

Thanks for the quick response, I did as what you have instructed. Just opening the message mapping itself, it is already generating the error. And whenever I press okay, the Definition, Test and Functions tab in the message mapping goes blank. However, when testing using operation mapping, it is producing correct output. Here is the error in the message mapping:

Apologies for the long stack trace, this is the only idea I can think of
