Issue/Introduction

When upgrading Spectrum Data Publisher, the service fails to start if the previous configuration files are copied over


ERROR MESSAGE:
  "Exception in thread "main" java․lang․NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "com․ca․spectrum․spub․config․DoiConfiguration$AlarmReconcileInfoV2․getAlarmGetv2Path()" because "alarmReconcileInfoV2" is null"

Cause

Occurs immediately after upgrading Spectrum Data Publisher and restoring the old configuration folder 

Resolution

STEPS:

Step 1․ VERIFY CONFIGURATION FILE

Path: SpectrumDataPublisher/config/DOIConfig․xml

 

EXPECTED: The DOIConfig․xml file is missing the AlarmReconcileInfoV2 block ․

 

Step 2․ RESTORE CONFIGURATION FILE

Restore the DOIConfig.xml file updated during the upgrade (before the old configuration was copied in). Verify the following configuration block is present in the file.

 

<AlarmReconcileInfoV2> <AlarmGetV2Path>oipublic/aoanalytics/alarms/alarms_all/lite</AlarmGetV2Path> <QueryParam>status: NEW OR status: UPDATED</QueryParam> <QueryParam>product: Spectrum</QueryParam> <MaxBatchSize>100</MaxBatchSize> </AlarmReconcileInfoV2>

 

 

EXPECTED: The DOIConfig․xml file now contains the required parameters ․


NOTE: Alternatively, install the connector new and then update the config files with the necessary settings manually instead of overwriting them ․

 

 

Step 3․ START THE SERVICE

Command: ․/run․sh start

 

 

EXPECTED: Service starts successfully without null pointer exceptions ․
