Technical Document extraction - error message

[jamesmarvel]

Another issue we're encountering is when we extract the technical document.

this is the error message from command line Writing results to zip file Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException at de.sfdccommander.controller.MetadataRetriever.writeZip(MetadataRetrie ver.java:158) at de.sfdccommander.controller.MetadataRetriever.retrieveZips(MetadataRe triever.java:123) at de.sfdccommander.controller.MetadataExporter.getEntities(MetadataExpo rter.java:65) at de.sfdccommander.controller.Tasks.render(Tasks.java:38) at de.sfdccommander.viewer.ConfigActionPanel$1.actionPerformed(ConfigAct ionPanel.java:103) at javax.swing.AbstractButton.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.AbstractButton$Handler.actionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.fireActionPerformed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.DefaultButtonModel.setPressed(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicButtonListener.mouseReleased(Unknown Sour ce) at java.awt.Component.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.retargetMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.processMouseEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.LightweightDispatcher.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Window.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEventImpl(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue.access$500(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$3.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Sour ce) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Sour ce) at java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventQueue$4.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.security.ProtectionDomain$1.doIntersectionPrivilege(Unknown Sour ce) at java.awt.EventQueue.dispatchEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpOneEventForFilters(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForFilter(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEventsForHierarchy(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source) at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)

any idea as to what's going wrong here?

Hi @jamesmarvel, first of all: Sorry for the late response. I didn't work on the project for some time. This error-message occurs, if the application cannot write the zip-file. This might either be caused by missing permissions in the file-location or if the "System Name" contains illegal characters. The new version will check, if the system name is okay.

Until then, please check the following entries in your config-file.

sf.systemname target.systemname

They should not contain the following characters: '/', '\n', '\r', '\t', '\0', '\f', 'backtick', '?', '*', '\\', '<', '>', '|', '\"', ':'
