Upgrade to RAM 7.2 meet Null Pointer Exception

My current project use the RAM 7.1.1.1 and deployed in the Websphere cluster, the WAS version is 6.1.0.27. Since our application need some RAM 7.2 feature, I begin to upgrade it to RAM 7.2.

I follow the following steps somebody send to me in the upgrade document:
First, I remove all the RAM applications originally deployed in Websphere cluster.
Then, I upload the version 7.2 com.ibm.ram.repository.setup.web.ear and deployClusterSetup.py into the server, and run the following command:
cd to WAS install dir/<profiles>/Dmgr01/bin
Ex: ./wsadmin.sh -lang jython -user <username> -password <pswd> -f /tempfs/iRAM7201/deployClusterSetup.py /tempfs/iRAM7201/com.ibm.ram.repository.setup.web.ear com.ibm.ram.repository.setup.web.ear

After that, I visit the RAM setup page :
http://xxx.ibm.com:9060/ram.setup/wizard/login.jsp
I want to use my RAM WAS admin user name and password to login. But after I login, it will report Null pointer exception:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Hi,

The latest version of RAM is 7.2.0.2

You can grab the applications from

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24026093&rs=0&cs=utf-8&context=SSUS84&dc=D400&loc=en_US&lang=en&cc=US

Grab the 'Manual deploy for WAS - <your>' zip file
unzip it.



Once that is done, you can use the scripts to install RAM setup from the downloaded files (it will uninstall the old RAM setup)

That should fix the problem
