Null Pointer Excpetion during Data Deploy

infoForDj

Hi,

I am trying to run a data deploy configuration file that picks up values from DCR and updates the DB.
However, when I run the configuration file
/opt/iw-home/OpenDeployNG/bin/iwodcmd start sprint_com/DataDeploy/Promotions_MyNextel.xml -k area=/iwmnt/default/main/sprint_com/en/EDITION/sprint_com_devtest

I get the following error,

Locating OpenDeploy service.
Got OpenDeploy service
>>>>>-- Start deployment sprint_com/DataDeploy/Promotions_MyNextel.
iwodstart running in default synchronous mode.
Need to wait for deployment to complete.
***ERROR - Starting deployment.
Reason from server: DEPLOY_CONFIG_FILE
Details : Got Exception: null

On going through odbase.log, I see the following error,

The OpenDeploy Server is 5.6
The configuration file in question is readable and does not have any ^M characters.
The configuration file is attached.

Please help me resolve this issue as it is impacting our Production Environment.

Thanks,
