A failure might occur when you use the Import Wizard to perform an 
import operation, resulting in the following error message: 
 
   INFO  - Importing Report content. 
   ERROR - Import operation failed while processing report 
           "BOJ33MMYSNPOKAAA" 
   java.lang.NullPointerException

The following steps will reproduce this problem: 
 
   1. Select "export" from the root-level node (either the BI Manager 
      node or a repository node in SAS®  Data Integration Studio). 
      Continue with the export operation. 
   2. Then, select "import" from the root-level node on the target 
      server. 
   3. Select "New Objects" in the Import Wizard. 
 
   NOTE: Some of the folders that are being imported must already exist 
         on the target server. For instance, if you are importing the 
         "BIP Tree" folder, it must exist on the target. 
 
The metadata is actually imported but not correctly. The imported 
metadata will be orphaned because the folders are not connected to their 
parent folder or to the parent software component.
