Operational Decision Manager V8.7.1.2 Fix Pack

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• System events stored with 8.6 for TestSuite elements creation
  were using a dummy type information. This has been fixed with 8.
  7.X.
  However the previously created activity comments still include
  the dummy type, then, opening a release with those elements
  displays an error message "An unexpected error has occured",
  and the following exception is raised :
  java.lang.NullPointerException
