Exception: java-lang-NullPointerException While trying to invoke the method com-sap-aii-ib-bom-flib-types-FixedValuesTable-lookup of an object loaded from local variable _table in class com-sap-aii-mappingtool-flib7

Hi Experts,

I get an Exception: 

[java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.sap.aii.ib.bom.flib.types.FixedValuesTable.lookup(java.lang.String) of an object loaded from local variable '_table'] in class com.sap.aii.mappingtool.flib7. 

TextFunctions met

The field ABC exist in the target structure and the error is being thrown out in the mapping step. It seems like there is some problem in the fix value mapping. Mapping is as shown below :

input->ifelsecondition->Substring fuction->Fixvaluemapping-->Targetfield(ABC)

As per this mapping the Substring should throw 3 character word and  in fix value mapping  it is getting displayed correctly. The fix value mapping displayed the expected result.

Till this point every thing looks fine but when I clicked on the Queue of the Target field it throws out the error as:

Runtime exception when processing target-field mapping /ns0:MT_RequisitionImport/Envelope/Packet/Payload/REQUISITION/FUNCTIONALAREA_GJFA; root message: Exception:[java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.sap.aii.ib.bom.flib.types.FixedValuesTable.lookup(java.lang.String) of an object loaded from local variable '_table'] in class com.sap.aii.mappingtool.flib7.TextFunctions method fixed_values[XXX, null, com.sap.aii.ib.bom.flib.types.ValueMappingStrategy@76e37646, , com.sap.aii.mappingtool.tf7.rt.Context@73dda3f0]

Here it clearly shows that output of the key in fix value mapping is null, which contradicts the result of  fix value mapping queue.

Please help in finding out the resolution of this issue.

Thanks and  Regards,

Sudhir Kumar

Hello Sudhir,

Transferring my response here:

There is a solution mentioned in SAP Note 1509561 - Null pointer exception during mapping using Fix Values that recommends patching your ESR Component.

To see the current patch level of your PI components see SAP Note 1381878 - How/where to check the patch levels of your XI/PI System.

After the patch has been applied, edit your message mapping and then reactivate.

Hope this helps,

Mark
