Error Messages

Status fail
Message caught exception java.lang.NullPointerException
Operator ID PRPC_USER
Requestor ID H87CF40994983A6794F981C39FDF3A0D7
Timestamp Mon Oct 27 13:30:58 EDT 2014
Engine Version PegaRULES 7.10 ML5 (coreAssemblyCached_715_230)

Root Cause

Any obj-save to any page within the AuthService login activity triggers a Rule-Declare-Trigger for Data-Admin-Operator-ID. The page class is NOT Data-Admin-Operator-ID yet it is firing.
This is causing issue when launching a secondary thread. The OperatorID page is blank and the “myStepPage” in ApplicationSetup step 2 is null.

Resolution

Removing Obj-Save of Operator ID in SSO Activity solved the issue. Users should never save the operator record from within the authentication activity. It’s saved when the activity ends and the engine takes back control.
