Question
Set Score Error - Attempt to de-reference a null object
The issue I'm working through is similar to the one posted here:
https://community.gainsight.com/gainsight/topics/-attempt-to-de-reference-a-null-object-rule-error
Last week we converted scorecards from RYG to Numeric. The following day the null object error message was reported on a singe rule set score function (1 out of 10). After some head scratching and excellent advice from Gainsight support I found 2 problems with that set score rule. First, it was trying to update scores on inactive accounts because of a filtering misconfiguration. Second, I have lingering RYG values in the Scorecard Fact object.
Fixing the first problem resulted in a successful run of the failing rule... and there was much rejoicing. Today another set score rule is failing apparently due to the second problem. I'm not sure how rare this issue is but I thought a newer post with a solution could help us and other members of the community.
Is there a preferred method for converting lingering scorecard grading scheme records from the old to the new scheme?
