PH58002: PIPELINE EXECUTIONS OF MULTIPLE COMPONENTS IN APPLICATION TEMPLATE PROCESS RESULTS IN NPE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The execution of a pipeline process results in a NPE when the
  pipeline includes an application template process that contains
  an 'install multiple components' step.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Create TWO components "comp1, comp2" and it should have same
  component process name "testp".
  2. Create an Application Template "App-Temp" with Environment
  Template "PT" (based on any Resource Template) and Application
  process "Deploy".
  [In application process "Deploy" add "Install multiple
  components" step and configure the component process "testp"]
  3. Create an Application "App" based on the Application Template
  "App-temp".
  4. Add TWO components into Application "App".
  5. Create a Pipeline with the below code in Application
  pipelines tab.
  [while executing pipeline script choose component versions of
  both the components]
  pipeline script:
  {
      "name": "PT-pipeline",
      "stages": [
          {
              "name": "Deploy to PT",
              "blocks": [
                  {
                      "environment": "PT",
                      "processes": [
                          "Deploy"
                      ]
                  }
              ]
          }
      ]
  }
