Got the following log by going to : Setup > Background Task Status List

Error:

This issue has been resolved . It was occurring because of the wrong import.

Hi Ritik,

I am facing a nullpointer issue in workflow, could you please provide details of which import you fixed and how?

Thanks,

Hi MP,

Usually we do the following imports to the XPDL file:-

import com.frictionless.api.common.exception.*;

import com.frictionless.api.common.log.Logger;

import com.frictionless.api.common.platform.*;

import com.frictionless.api.common.types.*;

import com.frictionless.api.doc.collaboration.*;

import com.frictionless.api.doccommon.masterdata.*;

import com.frictionless.api.ibean.*;

import com.frictionless.api.util.*;

import com.frictionless.api.workflow.*;

import com.frictionless.api.projects.*;

import com.frictionless.api.common.log.*;

import com.frictionless.api.ibean.*;

import com.frictionless.api.usermgmt.masterdata.*;

import com.frictionless.api.doc.collaboration.*;

import java.util.Date;

If your are still facing the issue then check for the imports ,other than the above mentioned .

Thank you Ankur,

My workflow has a NullPointer issue in the final block, where I am advancing to the next phase. The phase does get advanced but the system lock does not get removed. Changing these imports did not fix the issue.

Thanks,

Hi MP,

There is some variable in the code which you are referring and giving the Null .I have checked your log and find this info :-

Thread.java:534) AssociatedAttribute=DISPLAY_NAME - SourceBo=-2147482625:1901:null - ValidatingParent=-2147480646:1907:newpkg_wp1 - com.frictionless.api.common.exception.ApplicationException:

Can you Please check ,what is this DISPLAY_NAME and how we are not getting the value in it.

I would suggest you to try this code in the script first ,So that you can get the exact information about the error.

Thanks,

Hello Ritik,

As you might have already seen in the error log, there is some mandatory field which requires a value and you are not providing it. I guess it is probably at the workitem level. Not sure about it.

I would suggest to add some logging info in your workflow code and find out till where it is executing succesfully. It shall be easire for you to point out the problem then.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks
