RAR - null pointer exception message when running risk analysis

[Former Member]

Hi,

We recently installed & configured AC 5.3, SP11 version. From the day1 we are getting following message in the log when running risk analysis in foreground, background, when scheduled batch risk analysis in full sync, Incremental sync mode.

When I raised OSS message, they told that this is standard message when we use adaptive RFC connector in RAR. they proposed to use SAPJCO instead of Adaptive RFC connector to avoid this.

But I am some how not convinced with the answer because no one reported this problem anywhere earlier.

Can you share your ideas on this? I mean if any one got same message in any versions?

I just wanted to know is this standard bug which is visible for all customers or some thing I did wrong?

Here is the message:

com.virsa.cc.common.util.ExceptionUtil logError

SEVERE: null

java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi,

Earliar we had same problem, then we can switched from Adaptivr RFC to SAP JCO.

Please Refer the page no.38 in confi guide.

"SAP GRC Access Control 5.3 gives you the option of setting up SAP JCO connections instead of Adaptive RFC connections"

Hi dasarad,

Did you get any solution to this problem? We are having the same issue with SP12.

Thank you in advance.

Have you tried using the configuration validator? It can be helpful sometimes.
