Issue/Introduction

Null Pointer Exception in DQ matcher work item class at CreateWorkItem activity in workflows migrated from 8.3.2 to 9.1.0

Environment

All

Resolution

This is because in older versions the Matcher Workitem main class was: com.tibco.mdm.ui.workflow.engine.workitem.templates.MatcherWorkItem and in MDM 9.1 the class is:

com.tibco.mdm.ui.workflow.engine.workitem.templates.DQMatcherWorkItem. The resolution is changing the below properties in configValues and workflow.

<ConfValue description="The document type templates that are used for matcher work item." isHidden="true" isHotDeployable="true" name="DQ workitem templates used" propname="com.tibco.cim.dq.template.matcherworkitem" sinceVersion="8.2" visibility="Advanced">
<ConfList>
<ConfListString value="com.tibco.mdm.ui.workflow.engine.workitem.templates.MatcherWorkItem"/>
</ConfList>
</ConfValue>

To:

<ConfValue description="The document type templates that are used for matcher work item." isHidden="true" isHotDeployable="true" name="DQ workitem templates used" propname="com.tibco.cim.dq.template.matcherworkitem" sinceVersion="8.2" visibility="Advanced">
<ConfList>
<ConfListString value="com.tibco.mdm.ui.workflow.engine.workitem.templates.DQMatcherWorkItem"/>
</ConfList>
</ConfValue>

And workflow files needs to be changed the references from com.tibco.mdm.ui.workflow.engine.workitem.templates.MatcherWorkItem to com.tibco.mdm.ui.workflow.engine.workitem.templates.DQMatcherWorkItem
