Issue/Introduction

Publish jobs are failing in Datamaker, but for only two users.  The users only have problems publishing from Datamaker (4.10.10.0) and do not see issues running the same publish jobs from TDM Portal. The users that see the issue, are using the same DSNless connection profile used by TDM Portal, and others aren't having any trouble using the same DSNless connection profile from Datamaker.

The error reported is only seen for the two users, and no one else. Below is the error seen in the Data Maker logs.

Runtime Error: , Message="CA Test Data Manager - Datamaker FATAL error: 4.10.10.0(Runtime: 21.0.0.1506) (9/5/2022 11:41:06) - Null object reference at line 36 in clicked event of object <object_name> of <publish_job_submit>"

Environment

GT Datamaker 4.10.10.0

Resolution

While troubleshooting the issue, the connection profile showed up while logging in to Datamamker, but once inside Datamaker, while checking the data target connection window, for the publish job, it showed there was no connection. Recreating the connection profile, resolved the issue.
