APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

then the following NPE will be shown when localizing or
regionalizing a document

syncpublish.useprojects=true)

Problem summary

  • If the WCM Multilingual Solution is used with its legacy 'no

then the following NPE will be shown when localizing or
regionalizing a document

Problem conclusion

  • Analysis: The generic localize/regionalize code was failing to
check that the 'active' project was not null before proceeding..

Solution: Corrected code

Temporary fix
