Hi, I am getting the following error when deploying editions. It seems looking at the error, one of the paramerters to the external task is null or it is unable to read the OD config file I have verified that both the cases are not correct. All the paramters are passed to the task and the same OD config file is used for promoting to QA environment. Please respond if any one has any idea on why this error occurs. Attached odbase.log, task snippets from WF and OD config file.
