SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 36997: Import error with Data Exploration: Import operation failed while processing data exploration java.lang.NullPointerException
 |  |  |  |  |
You might encounter the following error while importing a package file that includes data explorations due to corrupted SAS® Information Maps.
"Error: Import operation failed while processing data exploration "name".
java.lang.NullPointerException"
This problem occurs if the SAS Information Map metadata ID is the same as the data exploration metadata ID. During the Import process, there is no check to determine if this ID is an actual SAS Information Map or a data exploration bookmark. When a data exploration bookmark has the same ID as the SAS Information Map, the SAS Information Map's path is queried. Since there is not a SAS Information Map path, a null is returned as the path value and the above error occurs.
