Problem Note 19031: Extracting SAS® Marketing Automation campaigns or diagrams that contain a multi-select node causes a null pointer exception error
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use the Integration Utilities in SAS Marketing Automation to extract a campaign or diagram that contains a multi-select node, you might get a null pointer exception error, and the extraction will fail.
This problem can happen if two or more groups of selection conditions are joined by an OR node or if a selection condition contains an IN clause (<Value>=[<v1>, <v2>. . .]).
The error message will be similar to the following message:
