SA-17656

Summary



Some existing report definitions have stopped working. No results are returned, and a null pointer error appears in the log file:
Revalidate and Save does not fix the problem. However, recreating the report with a new name and saving it works.


Error Messages

java.lang.NullPointerException


Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a report definition with a summary function on one of the columns
  2. Edit the report, and remove the summary function from the column
  3. Save and run the report
