Issue/Introduction:

We are seeing the following NullPointerException filling up the CA APM Enterprise Manager log:

[ERROR] [Thread-ModelSynchronization] [Manager.AppMap] Unable to process graph {"vertices":{"ATC:INFERRED_GENERICBACKEND:GENERICBACKEND : oracle.net.ns on 192.168.44.183:2525:null:null":{"externalI....
java.lang.NullPointerException

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745)
 

Cause:

This is due to a defect in the code where it missed the algorithm to handle a scenario where an Edge’s target Vertex could be null when merging Vertices.

Environment:

CA Application Performance Management 10.7 SP1

Resolution:

This has been fixed in CA APM 10.7 Hotfix 9.
Please contact CA Support to obtain the Hotfix, or download from the CA Support Download Center if there is a higher Hotfix available, which will include this fix.
