Problem Note 66768: A "java.lang.NullPointerException" error occurs when you execute campaigns in SAS® Customer Intelligence Studio
 |  |  |  |  |
In SAS Customer Intelligence Studio, scheduled campaigns might fail with the following error message displayed in the SASCustIntelCore6.6.log:
com.sas.analytics.crm.error.client.ApplicationException
at com.sas.analytics.crm.flow.ForkCampCommExecution.run(ForkCampCommExecution.java:117)
at com.sas.analytics.crm.security.SecurityExecutorServiceImpl$WrappedRunnable.run(SecurityExecutorServiceImpl.java:78)
at com.sas.analytics.crm.task.ejb.ClearedThreadLocalRunnable.run(ClearedThreadLocalRunnable.java:24)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1149)
at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:624)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)
Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
If you review and execute the campaign manually in SAS Customer Intelligence Studio after the failure occurs, you might see that only one Communication node is visible in the diagram. However, a second Communication node appears in the Execute Now and Set Schedule windows. The campaign document also shows two Communication nodes.
Typically, this problem happens when campaigns are migrated from an earlier release of SAS Customer Intelligence.
To work around this problem, copy and paste all nodes into a new diagram.
