Error while importing the document in webtop

Hi All,

We are facing error during the import of document from webtop .This error is not coming on all object types it is working on dm_document but not on our custom object type . I am able to sucessfully import the document of same object type from DA but not from webtop.

The error is coming for lifecycle state attribute r_current_state i.e.

java.lang.NullPointerException

Did you run the data dictionary job and restart your app server? Any time you make changes to object type definitions (including custom types), you need to do this.

Hi Johnny,

I had run the data dictonary job and also restarted the app server but I am still facing the issue. The surprising thing is I am able to import the document for same object type from DA but not from webtop.

Can you import the document without applying the default lifecycle?

jyoti.tiwari

No ..

Still I am getting the same error. while importing the document even no lifecycle is appliyed on this.

Not the same error message, but see if you are running in to this issue - https://solutions.emc.com/emcsolutionview.asp?id=esg91767

Import fails in webtop for a custom object type

Symptoms:

Create a custom type which contains an attribute (e.g. state) which is set as mandatory. Then you try to import a file from the filesystem and use the custom type as object type.
After you filled in the mandatory field and clicked Finish you get an error message.

invokeMethod() failed while calling: onReturnFromProgress
Operation failed : null : Operation failed : null
class java.lang.NullPointerException

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

1) Create New Type in Application Builder
2) Create an Attribute for that type with following settings:
3) Set a default value for this Attribute (eg DRAFT)
4) Attribute is read-only (user should not be allowed to change the attribute)
5) Attribute can have NULL value.
6) Value Assistance (DRAFT, APPROVED, ABSOLUTE) Also the checkbox "List is complete" is checked

7) From webtop / da, select File --> Import option;
8) Select a file from local file system and click next
9) Select your custom type as object_type
10) Fill in the mandatory field
11) Then click finish

Resolution:

Delete the default Value Assistance to be able to import a file using the custom type.

Above answer is not helpful for us because our issue is not related to value assistence

Now I am facing the error from both DA and webtop might be it is working with DA becuase we did not clean cache for app server of DA.

This is very urgent for us to resolve this issue to proceed with further development

Are you using TBOs? Just wondering how lifecycle is applied to document as part of the import. If so, then are you getting this error if you remove TBO from your environment?

Hi All,

Our issue for the null pointer is resolved . It is related to the display of the attribute on info page. We have choosen the r_current_state as visible and r_policy_id as hidden for the info page this is the reason that`s why it is giving the error related to the null pointer for id. Now we have make both of them visible and it is working fine.
