PO 7.4 SP3: Mapping Exception during runtime - but test in ESR works

[Former Member]

Hi,

I've got an PO 7.4 SP03 with B2B Addon SP01 and  experience a mapping exception during file to IDOC flow. I've copied the MM_ASC850_4010_TO_ORDERS05 mapping from MAPPING KIT and used it in my flow.

While during runtime I get a MappingException: EXCEPTION_DURING_EXECUTE everything works well if I download the message payload and use it in ESR mapping test functionality.

Here are the Error details:

I get the following log message 3 times:

Message:	Tracing for additional info - MTSaxHandler.run: Thrown: java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.newSAXParser() of a null object loaded from static field com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.rt.xparser.MTSaxHandler.saxParserFactory at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.rt.xparser.MTSaxHandler.run(MTSaxHandler.java:270) at com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.rt.xparser.XParser.run(XParser.java:112) Hide Full Message

then followed by several of these messages

Any help is highly appreciated

I solved the issue by upgrading to PO 7.4 SP04.
