SAP ESS Family Member/dependants java.lang.NullPointerException error

[Former Member]

Hi

We are have the following problem when trying to edit or add a new child dependent fro Family member dependents. In the backend it works fine but on ess it dumps. There is no st22. we have looked all the notes and the previous sdn thread for this and applied the relevant patches as suggested in the notes. Have any of you encounter this problem and how did you guys resolve it??

The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:

java.lang.NullPointerException

You need the latest SP for resolving this ie front end version. Please check what version you are on and accordingly you need

to patch your system

1. http://service.sap.com/

2. SAP Support Portal - > Software Download

3. Download > Support packages and patches > Entry by application

group

4. SAP Application components

5. SAP ERP

6. SAP ERP ENHANCE PACKAGE

7. EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01

8. Entry by component

9. SAP XSS (Self Services)

10.SAP ESS 603 (# OS independent)

download the below version-

SAPESS06_8-20002355.SCA SP06 for SAP ESS 603

Now extract the below file from the downloaded SAP_ESS .sca

-ess~xx

Now Logon to SDM,go to deployment tab and open the deployment

configuration tab -

choose the radio button

Thanks for all your inputs. The solution that final worked for us was Siddharth Rajora

Hi Nasmeetha,

VcPersInfoDetailFooter shows the radio boxes for Valid until, Validity Period and Validity as of future date.

This is a reusable component, which gets used in all the ESS applications.

Looks like FAM config or coding is causing this issue. Some field is blank but system is expecting a value in it.

I would suggest you to download the ESS~Per code and have a look at the VcPersInfoDetailFooter component controller code at line 229,

you come to know what field is expecting value. Try to correct it. It will address ur issue. If not copy and paste the code of onBeforeOutput with line numbers, we can assit you.

Check the use case config of this particular FAM. There is some issue here with valid until.

Regards

Yugandhar Reddy
