Ask a question

Do these log messages simply mean QM project has no configured Defect provider ?

Today I notice what I thought were new messages [ but they aren't, records in 2013 show ] in the QM application logs

CRJAZ1451E The DefectTrackingTask task from the com.ibm.rqm.execution component could not be completed and will be rescheduled.
java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.ibm.rqm.execution.service.internal.DefectTrackingService.synchronizeDefectState(DefectTrackingService.java:128)
[there is more, but omitted for brevity ]

I can say with certainty that there are QM projects that exist w/o Uses association for Defects. 

Thanks

The DefectTrackingTask is used to unblock test case execution records automatically (see https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.rational.test.qm.doc/topics/t_config_auto_unblocking.html).  The NullPointerException is a defect but may be fixed in RQM 6.0 under DefectTrackingTask/DefectTrackingService/QualityManagerConfigurationService need better exception handling (118402) and/or ItemNotFoundExection in DefectTrackingTask (122260).  What version of RQM are you running?

We're on 5.0.2 ifix6.  Not in a rush to get to 6 just yet.
