What browser are you using?

What WAS level and WAS fix pack level are you using? Also, could you open a defect and attach your ramDebug.log file and SystemOut.log file?

Hi

Could you attach your ramDebug.log file and SystemOut.log file to the defect? We need these logs to diagnose the issue. Thanks.

Hi,

We have a custom policy configured which checks for the type of asset being deleted.If it satisfies the condition then a error code along with a message is returned.

The asset deletion does fail but does not show the message that is passed instead show an error saying one or more arguments are null.

The code we use is something like :
We check for template topologyand template service.
Result status = new Result(this);
if ((event.getAsset().getType().toLowerCase().trim()
.contains(ASSET_TYPE_1))
|| (event.getAsset().getType().toLowerCase().trim()
.contains(ASSET_TYPE_2))
|| (event.getAsset().getType().toLowerCase().trim()
.contains(ASSET_TYPE_3))){
/*status.addDetail(new ResultDetail(ResultDetail.ERROR,
RAM_DELETE_EXCEPTION));*/

log.debug("The asset cannot be deleted,hence return an error code");

status.setMessage(RAM_DELETE_EXCEPTION);
status.setReturnCode(ResultDetail.ERROR);
}

I could not attach the logs here.

Pasting the exception from the ramDebug.log file :
