Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1x
SYMPTOM(s):
Creating a database entry via the Progress Explorer
Error in Progress Application
An exception has occurred in your application. If you click "Continue," the application ignores this error and attempts to continue. If you click Quit, the application will be shut down immediately.
java.lang.NullPointerException
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Runtime Error!
Program: C:\WINNT\System32\mmc.exe
abnormal program termination
Config {0} - Error from {1}: [{2}] (ADMMsg005)
CAUSE:
This error happens because the first entry of the database node has not been extended. For example, after you create a new server entry for "localhost", a database entry should exist. If this entry has not been expanded before creating the "New Object", the above mentioned errors display.
FIX:
To resolve this problem, remove the localhost entry from the Progress Explorer and recreate it. Then click on the plus ("+") sign to the left of the databases entry. Even though this does not show anything because there should be no database definitions, the click has the desired effect. Now new database entries should no longer error.
Use the following steps to resolve this error:
1. Start the Progress Explorer.
2. Create a localhost entry if not already there.
3. On the database entry, click over the plus ("+") sign to the left.
4. Create the database entry as usual.
