When running a synchronization from ARIS 9.8.8 to Solman 7.2, I get the window it completed with errors and when I look at the log file, as soon as it tries to synchronize the first process step, it throws the following lines.
Tue Jun 08 19:11:55 CDT 2021 - Synchronizing: Process step 'Process step example1’
Tue Jun 08 19:11:58 CDT 2021 - java.lang.NullPointerException

What kind of things would cause this? This isn't a very helpful log file entry for the users.
