Problem :

ALIM Import/Export utility Role-Persons tab not functioning properly. Data will not import, producing "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." 

 

Cause:

The Object Type in provisioning.xml has a non existing Type (Role-Person). It should use "Role" type.

 

Solution:

Look into Provisioning.xml and search for “Role-Persons” section. Then change the object type from “RolePersons” to “Role”, save provisioning  file and try the Import again:

 

 

    <sheet name="Role-Persons" header_row="1" start_row="2" state_column_name="Status" message_column_name="Error Message" export_enabled="true">

      <objects>

        <object type="Role">

          <properties>

            <property name="path" column_name="Role Path" />

            <property name="person" column_name="Person Code" />

            <property name="action" column_name="Action" />

          </properties>

        </object>

      </objects>

    </sheet>
