Problem Description
Many user has raised the issues of ,”Unhandled Exception as occurred in your application …… Object Reference not Set to an Instance of an Object.”as shown below while saving the spec in Specification Generator CE U9. This wiki gives workaround on this issue and helps in saving spec with out error.
This issue is Caused when Specification Generator is launched through OPPA CE U9 like as shown below : As the Specification Generator is loaded launch any spec of the workset . Don’t make any changes in Spec and click on save. After hitting on save in a while you will receive the error: ,”Unhandled Exception as occurred in your application …… Object Reference not Set to an Instance of an Object.” (Development is working upon this issue and would be fixed in upcoming version of OPPA CE U10). Kindly click on Quit such that application will be closed.
Launch the Specification Generator U9 CE directly through its Desktop icon. Select workset e.g Metric from OOTB OpenPlantExample workspace. Select any spec and click on Open. Make any changes below only catalog has been added into Flanges and click on Save.
This time Specification Generator was lunched through its desktop icon it does not throw any error and spec is saved properly. Thus with this workaround user can save the spec through Specification Generator CE U9..
