Local fix
rewrite the definition of the rule that is failing using a binding to cast the parameter in a specific type set v to a number from param
Problem summary
In Rule Designer when exporting a ruleset the following exception occurs. This is caused by incorrect handling of variables in swith transformations. com.ibm.rules.container.EngineOutlineSerializationException: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.rules.container.EnginePackageOpenXMLProducer.writeJar(En ginePackageOpenXMLProducer.java:246) at com.ibm.rules.container.EnginePackageOpenXMLProducer.writeJar(En ginePackageOpenXMLProducer.java:254) at com.ibm.rules.container.EngineOutlineSerializer.writeJar(EngineO utlineSerializer.java:46) at com.ibm.rules.studio.rve.builder.RVERulesetArchiveExporter.seria lizeEngineOutline(RVERulesetArchiveExporter.java:692) at com.ibm.rules.studio.rve.builder.RVERulesetArchiveExporter.expor t(RVERulesetArchiveExporter.java:395) at com.ibm.rules.studio.decisionservice.SDsRVERulesetArchiveExporte r.export(SDsRVERulesetArchiveExporter.java:134) at ilog.rules.studio.model.archive.internal.RulesetArchiveExportJob .run(RulesetArchiveExportJob.java:65) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54) Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException at com.ibm.rules.engine.bytecode.scalability.SemVariableCopierWithS cope.transformVariableValue(SemVariableCopierWithScope.java:157) at com.ibm.rules.engine.lang.semantics.transform.SemMainLangTransfo rmer.transformVariableValue(SemMainLangTransformer.java:647) at com.ibm.rules.engine.lang.semantics.transform.BaseTransformer.ma inTransformVariableValue(BaseTransformer.java:378) at com.ibm.rules.engine.lang.semantics.transform.value.SemValueCopi er.visit(SemValueCopier.java:
Problem conclusion
The code is fixed.
Temporary fix
rewrite the definition of the rule that is failing using a binding to cast the parameter in a specific type 'set v to a number from param'
