Usage Note 36463: Repair Report wizard in SAS® Web Report Studio fails with a "java.lang.NullPointerException" error
 |  |  |  |
SAS Web Report Studio 4.2 includes a Repair Report wizard that enables you to repair reports that do not open because they have become separated from their original information maps. This feature is often used after an information map has been moved, renamed, or both.
However, if the report XML is invalid, you will see the following error when you select the Repair report option.
Error messages: An error occurred in processing the page request. java.lang.NullPointerException at com.sas.report.models.xml.XML.readReport(XML.java:375) at com.sas.report.models.xml.XML.readReport(XML.java:336) at com.sas.apps.citation.model.report.ReportUtil.doReadReportWithDelayedRead(ReportUtil.java:1013) at com.sas.apps.citation.model.report.ReportUtil.readDamagedReport(ReportUtil.java:665) at com.sas.apps.citation.controller.action.RepairReportDialogAction.openDialog(RepairReportDialogAction.java:73) at com.sas.apps.citation.controller.action.CitationDialogAction.doPerform(CitationDialogAction.java:158) at com.sas.apps.citation.controller.action.CitationAction._execute(CitationAction.java:191) at com.sas.apps.citation.controller.action.CitationAction.execute(CitationAction.java:166) at org.apache.struts.action.RequestProcessor.processActionPerform(RequestProcessor.java:425) [ 58 lines suppressed ]
This error is most likely to appear for reports that have been imported. Your first action is to export and then import the report again. If you continue to see the error, contact SAS Technical Support.
