Error while exporting folder

Post by srini.dw »

Hi Guys,

Please need your help, while exporting a Folder from the Export option, Iam getting the below error.

An unhandled exception has occurred in a component in your application. Click continue and application will ignore this error and attempt to continue.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

If I manually select jobs in that folder, export works fine.

Any thoughts on this.

Thanks,
roy

Hi,
Sounds like a corrupt repository or out of sync.
In case this is only an issue with this folder,
Try exporting all the objects there (in the folder) by selecting them,
then delete the folder and import from the export file
This should work.

By the way, does the nightly backups finish ok?

IHTH (I Hope This Helps),
Roy R.

If you don't have enough information to resolve it manually, use ASBNode/bin/syncproject.sh to resolve it. Run it once with the -Report option to show what is wrong with the project. If it shows actual job corruption, backup those jobs. Then run it with the -Fix option.

If it shows RT_filename corruption that's just director logs, usually no big deal if you lose some of those.

Thank you for the replies.

nightly backups, we still in development phase, but when from the sequence all the jobs get successfull completed.

Will check out the option syncproject.sh and update you.

Thanks,
